Adorable B&B!

My husband & I stayed here last night to go to a concert in Asbury Park at the House of Independents. We were so impressed with this B&B!! We usually stay a hotels that are close to the venue but this time we just looked up what was close to the venue & had the best price for us. We were not expecting this place to be as cute & nice as it was!! The host (owner??) called me that day to confirm when we would get there so she would have everything ready for us. Our room was super cute, very nicely decorated, VERY clean with nice welcoming accents! It had a private access porch with a table & chairs to sit out at, a private bathroom, the bed & pillows were comfortable. It was less then a 15 minute safe walk to the venue with several cute shops & eateries along the way! The next morning we woke up to an amazing smell of delicious homemade breakfast! The breakfast spread was incredible! Egg casseroles, potatoes, sausage, flatbread, desserts, juices, etc! Homemade & delicious! The ladies were there to greet us & keep us happy! I really NEVER write reviews but I honestly could not not write one for this place. Thank you for all your hard work & a great short stay!! I would highly recommend this B&B! :)

The room is absolutely beautiful and clean. The breakfast was so delicious and the inn keeper who also cooks the breakfast made us a breakfast fit for a King and Queen (we were the only 2 at breakfast). Very kind person. This is our 2nd time staying here and we will be back when needed. Thank you!!!

Overall a lovely stay at this property. Rooms on cosy/ small side but fine for couple of nights and it was just me. Rooms warm and everything worked. I was on ground floor along from breakfast room which meant it sometimes got quite noisy with other guests coming in and out. There was in issue with door lock when I arrived but this was fixed very quickly, which I appreciated. Breakfast was good although I would suggest perhaps leaving some things for guests to combine to their tastes. On 2 mornings the fruit had yogurts pre poured over which meant I couldn't eat them, perhaps just leave the components for guests to choose how to serve. Tea and coffee available all day which was great and no issues parking outside property (although I was there in low season). Used the free bikes one day, nice to have, but would suggest they might need a little maintenance on the breaks! All in all a lovely stay and would have no hesitation in staying again.

Anniversary getaway.

The staff was superb and responsive to all requests. Breakfast was tasty with the selection of fruit, yogurt, granola, various types of bread, turnovers and multiple different egg dishes. Coffee and tea were available 24 hours a day. The room was a third floor walk up, which could be a problem for some, but was not for me. The building was close to the beach and the downtown area.

We booked this last minute as a better option than our originally planned Sea.Hear.Now hotel in Wall Twp, so we could just park and walk. We arrived early enough on the day before that we were able to get parking in front and left the car for the weekend. Cathy and Nancy were there to greet us and give us all the info we needed. We were in Room 19 on the top floor. I was a little nervous about booking as it is an older building and I usually like to know I can get out easily - well, the door opens right to the door to the stairs that take you down the outside of the house. The entire place is clean and the breakfast and coffee are wonderful. Cathy did let us know that she will be leaving in a few weeks to move out of state but that she is leaving the b&b in capable hands! The room itself was very very small but since we didn't spend much time in it, it was fine for us. The third floor rooms do require lots of stair climbing, so be prepared for that if you book one. From the bed in Room 19, if you open your curtains you can see the waves on the beach. The bed was reasonably comfortable and the shower was great. My only wish would be for more shelving in the bathroom for toiletries -- we had to mostly leave them out in the room and bring them in as needed. The walk to Asbury Park is not short but it's pleasant and doable. Ubers are quick if you prefer to go that route. We walked everywhere. Would definitely recommend this B&B!
