This was such a lovely place to stay!! The property is less than a block from the beach, with views from the balcony and beach chairs and towels available to borrow to take to the beach. The breakfast was delicious and freshly made. The vibes were impeccable. I would stay here again and again.

Nice B&B, 3 min walk to beach. Room was clean. Not a fancy B&B, just a room in an old charming home. Breakfast was ok. Again, not a fancy B&B. The host was so sweet and welcoming. Ocean Grove is a nice quiet town.

This is an old-fashioned inn with all the qualities that people have always loved in the best inns: very kind friendly people who run the Inn, wonderful places to relax both outside (a large porch and two other sizable balconies) and inside (lovely common rooms with books and games and a piano and flat screen TV and a beautiful diningroom with coffee and tea available day and night). The breakfast was great, the amenities incredible and rooms comfortable and clean. This Inn is a perfect example of what attention to detail, in terms of comfort, aesthetics, design and civility, can achieve.

All the things that matter...The Lilligaard has.

There are a few things I look for while at a shore-town B&B, and I found each of them at The Lillagaard: friendly, helpful staff; a good bed; close to the beach; a hearty breakfast, and a welcoming, comfortable covered porch with the breeze wafting by. I rocked and sipped tea out on the porch, watching the people passing by when I got back from the beautiful beach. Heavenly.

Family weekend Ocean Grove Beach

Wonderful B&B with cozy atmosphere. Hosts super helpful and friendly. Breakfast ample. Loved that Theresia tea and coffee available to make any time. Fridge shared for guests to keep their food. Wine fridge. The hosts provide beach towels, beach chairs, sunbrellas. You can get beach passes at lower cost than on-line. Three porches. Literally steps from beach and easy walk to Main Street. If your room is available, you can extend your stay to the late afternoon and have another full beach day. Parking on street was not an issue.

The Lillagaard was delightful, overall. I enjoyed seeing the ocean from a corner room. The innkeeper and all other staff were professional, respectful, kind, and approachable. My room was charming, although small. I'd expected a table or desk, which it didn't have, nor could it fit one. The bed was very high up, which was fun, and slept magically. I never had a problem with wifi or noise. My room was adjacent to an upper level shared porch; if the weather had not been rainy, noise would have been an issue; they should alert people booking that room. Breakfast was a tasty mix of consistent standards with an occasional extra surprise (plantains, once). They could stand to vary the meat proteins, tho, i.e. turkey and/or chicken sausage alongside the pork and ham. I greatly appreciated the coffee/tea station and ample fridge, stocked with multiple types of creamers, w/plenty of room for takeout and drinks. The property was clean and well-kept for a building of its age (a little over 150 y/o). I own a very old house, so I am sympathetic to what maintenance involves, especially so near the ocean. That said, the wallpaper and woodwork in my room needed some attention in spots. Water rushing thru the bathroom pipes from the floor above rattled me for a day, but I adjusted. Not a problem; old houses are a big part of Ocean Grove's charm.

Not so cute stat

Cute b and b Victorian style. Beach close by. Parking a nightmare but it’s the Shore in summer. I knew I had a twin bed but had forgotten how small they were. That would’ve been fine but you could feel the springs through the mattress and the bed had a bit of a tilt. Window covers were roll up plastic blinds that didn’t roll right. I tried to use the AC but it was right beside the bed and I couldn’t manage the noise. Ceiling fan and a sea breeze worked. The closet was in the bathroom. And after a shower the bathroom was full of mist. I had to crouch down to get under the shower head. I was only here one night but was told there would be snacks and tea making ability in the basement area. But when I returned at 10.30pm that area was in total darkness. Maybe put something in the lobby area so guests have better access? I had to leave before breakfast at 8am. But wasn’t offered a snack to take with me. No fridge. It appeared none of the rooms did so you had to mark your items and put them in a fridge in the lobby. The bedside lamp was so dim I couldn’t see. Thankfully the fan light was bright enough to read by. As a result, I headed off to my volunteer work with little sleep, a very sore back and hungry
