    2nd Floor Porch

    So charming!!! Stayed at The Melrose with my Sisters last weekend and we had such a wonderful time. It is the cutest little spot to stay, you feel comfy and at home the moment you step in. We liked that it was up to date with the times and we could easily key code ourselves into the front door and our rooms. Our rooms were super cute, the beds were comfy, and everything was super clean. The decor was also on point for that beach theme of the town. We also loved the porch that you can sit out on and relax on. The upstairs lounge was a nice touch as well! For anyone looking for a cute spot to stay in, The Melrose is your place!

    Absolutely amazing! We loved staying at the Inn. We rented 4 rooms between different family members…read moreand had a great time. We stayed in Vermont Room (3rd floor), Savannah Room (3rd floor), Southern Exposure (4th Floor), and Summer Cottage A (side building). All rooms were excellent! Joe and Kelsey are amazing hosts and very responsive to texts/questions. All the staff is great. There is a beautiful rooftop deck that we enjoyed at night after dinner. Great for socializing. There is also a room with a couch on the 4th floor for gatherings/gaming systems for young kids. Breakfast every morning was delicious!!! Each morning there was a specialty option, as well as eggs and bacon plus homemade breads and muffins. My mouth is watering just thinking about the delicious egg sandwich Joe made. You can get a beach pass through them ($8 daily), which is $2 cheaper than purchasing at the beach entrance. The inn is a quick walk to the beach, it's in a perfect location. The inn is also not a far walk to Asbury Park (leisurely walk took us about 20 minutes). With traveling with a young baby and all the beach stuff they need, having a room on the 4th floor could have been a little complicated, but luckily, we had a parking spot right out in front to pack away our stuff each day. Make sure when selecting your room you are paying attention to which floor it is on. Overall we had a great time and cannot wait to come back! The Inn was perfect for a vacation with family! Thank you Joe, Kelsey and staff.

    MY VEHICLE WAS VANDALIZED BY EMPLOYEE ASSOCIATES OF THE INN!…read moreWhen parking on the street in the appropriate designated parking places.I was demanded by employee associate SOLOMON NOT TO PARK ON THE STREET IN FRONT OF THE INN. As there were no other available spaces to perk , and I told him , I had no other choice but to park in one of the five spaces that he had reserved for himself. The moment I saw another spot open up , I went outside to move my vehicle and found that the tire had been slashed with a very large knife. After bringing the matter to the attention of PROPERTY MANAGER LIZ OLVERA on many occasions , I have thus far been ignored and are given the most ridiculous denials of responsibility that I have ever received in my life. Liz wants us not to believe our eyes rather what she tells us is true. Lastly , it should be down by any guess that during the months of the winter , the becomes a property that caters to some of society's lets say most challenged people. It is impossible that\nWith eight months out of the year being populated by this type of clientele that the property is not badly affected by that. DO NOT STAY AT THIS PROPERTY.IF YOU DO.YOU ARE RISKING YOUR VEHICLE , YOUR PROPERTY AND YOUR SAFETY.

    Quaint and no-frills, but great location, good price, and it gets the job done…read more Check-in is super easy, you can arrive after-hours if you must. It is billed as a B&B, so we sampled the options one of the mornings during our stay. Coffee and water, mandarins, and store bought coffee cakes were out, and the proprietor, who was super kind during the stay, made some scrambled eggs, which were really delicious. He had some bread and cinnamon raisin bread out, too, which we toasted. The room was decently sized and fairly clean, though there were some ants. One oddity is the bathroom situation. Our room had a private bathroom, which was a deal breaker for us. You can request that when you book. Most rooms share bathrooms - there are a few in the halls. The walls are pretty thin, and there was a definite clomper present during our visit, so we heard them a-clompin' from time to time. Overall, though, it didn't detract for us. The third floor has a nice little lounge and TV room if you need to stay indoors awhile, plus there are porches out front and on the second floor. Bonus points because at the entrance they sell "ping pong pals," which are ping pong balls with mini sunglasses. That's the stuff bonus points were made for. Extra bonus points for the single best selling point about this place - the location. They are a five minute walk from Ocean Grove's Main Street with its nice coffeeshops, bakeries, delis, shops, etc; less than five minutes walking gets you to the beach; and about 5-10 minutes across the bridge gets you to Asbury's main dining/night life area. That makes for an incredibly convenient stay. We were satisfied.

    Unfussy and unpretentious, with plenty of comfort and charm. It's the bed-and-breakfast experience…read moreyou remember before it became needlessly bougie. The Ocean Park Inn has board games and books in the parlor, rockers on the porch, balconies with a sea breeze -- and the owner is a great cook.

We checked in at 4:15 with Kathy and she explained the layout of the land and how everything worked. She told us breakfast was from 8-10am and asked if we needed restaurant recommendations (which was nice) but we already had reservations somewhere. We stayed in room 15, which was very cute. The decor was lovely and the bathroom was a great size (with a powerful shower!). After dinner we came back to our room to just relax and watch some TV. The bed was comfy enough, a bit hard for me, but that's just my preference as my husband slept soundly. You can hear some of the other tenants as I heard someone snoring all night long, and then a woman on the phone in the morning. The breakfast was delicious, maybe a tad limited, but a lot of it is homemade (by Kathy!) like the french toast bake and a waffle egg with everything bagel seasoning (go for that!). Overall, my husband and I had a lovely stay and would recommend the Carriage House to anyone!

    I stayed at the Atlantic View Inn for a local wedding at Avon-by-the-Sea, and I was just thrilled…read morewith my experience. The inn's location is quite close to the Bradley Beach NJ Transit Train Station, and it is just half a block from the beach, so most of the rooms have views of the Atlantic Ocean (mine did!). The innkeepers and owners are so charming and friendly, and they really want to make sure everyone has a good visit to the shore. Though I only stayed one night in the Cape May room on the 3rd floor, I really enjoyed my time at the inn. I loved the huge wrap-around porch and the comfortable homey feeling in the main living area. I also really appreciated that they had "Shared Book" shelves all around the inn on every floor.

    The Man and I stayed at the Atlantic View Inn for the 4th of July weekend, and our stay was…read moreabsolutely lovely (despite the unseasonably lousy weather). Our room, the common areas, the verandah, the breakfast, and the hospitality were all outstanding. I couldn't have been more pleased. Our room, the Savannah, was one of the smallest in the Inn but it was still surprisingly spacious, tastefully decorated, and thoughtfully appointed. The mini-fridge was a nice touch (we stocked it with club soda and wine); the shower had plenty of water pressure and hot water; towels were fluffy and plentiful; bedding was comfortable with a pillow top mattress, lots of pillows, a summer-weight down duvet and fresh cotton sheets. Although the room offered air conditioning, we opted for open windows and the ceiling fan. The basket of magazines and bookshelf of paperbacks in the upstairs hall was a stroke of hospitality genius. Ditto the fresh-baked cookies in the dining room in the afternoon... and the cold bottled water for the beach. These small mindful touches were very much appreciated. A number of very nice amenities were available, including loaner bikes, free beach towels, chairs and badges. The hosts, Chris and Debbie, were thoughtful, friendly and unobtrusive. They made us feel absolutely welcome and comfortable without overwhelming us. The full breakfast was fresh, yummy and plentiful -- and served at a human hour (9am - 10am). For early risers, the coffeepot is perking by 6:30am. We plan to visit again and I absolutely recommend the Atlantic View Inn to anyone looking for a relaxing beach-side stay at the Shore.
