If you're running 200 miles you definitely want to have a great place to stay at the finish line. My colleagues and I ran the Cape Cod Ragnar Relay and the place we chose was Christopher's by the Bay. This awesome B&B is perfectly located in town, close enough to the action and quiet enough to truly relax. Many of... More

Another wonderful visit at Christopher's. This time we visited for Spookybear. We had a fantastic time over the weekend, enjoying the great hospitality and entertainment in the town. The stay was excellent, and was all the more amazing thanks to the incredible generosity of our hosts Jim and David, who kept us safe and secure during Hurricane Sandy, and enabled... More

Christopher's by the Bay is a charming Inn within a block of the bay and near famous Commercial Street and other must-see attractions. This inn is an old Victorian full of charm, not a sterile McMansion hotel. The affordable rooms are cozy, turn-of-the century bedrooms – great places to rest up before you head out about town. The inn also... More

We stayed here in May 2012, before the peak season, and we had the place completely to ourselves! Dave was friendly and gracious, and entertained our queries for a good hangout spot around town. We got the Georgia O'Keefe room, and though it was a bit small without much space to move around, we had a lovely view of the... More

Finally, after years of searching for just the right spot to stay in P-Town, we took a local's advice and booked a week at Christopher's By the Bay. It's not easy to host a B&B perfectly; you have to be chipper and accommodating without being intrusive or gabby. The owners, David and Jim, got this concept from the outset. So,... More

Stayed here for the first time this summer after having stayed in a variety of other places and definitely had the best time here! The house is traditional New England from the outside with all the modern amenities inside. The back patio is large and private with a koi pond and a few quiet spots tucked away for the reader...

Just spent my 6th consecutive Labor Day weekend at Christopher's. Wouldn't stay anywhere else. Jim and Dave are great hosts, the house is well kept and clean, breakfast is great, and you can't beat the location. My room is already booked for 2013. Can't wait!

inn owners were very nice and hospitable. breakfast was satisactory;good selection of cold foods. the outdoor patio was very lovely. the interior was quite dated and in need of renovation. the rooms were very small, yet the beds were comfortable. most disappointing were the "shared bathrooms" which reminded me of college with very old fixtures and generally worn appearance, despite...
