A late review, but I feel the need to write one, since I've been using Tripadvisor so often to check places out. I stayed here on Valentine's day 2011 (we ate dinner at the Labrador Lounge) and had a great time. I booked our stay over the phone, and had no issues doing so. I live in Toms River, but... More

My husband and I spent the past two nights at The Bentley Inn and had the greatest time. Glenn is the most wonderful and gracious host. Our room was very comfortable and well appointed. We can't wait to go back in nicer weather to take advantage of the close walk to the beach and leisurely sitting on the porch reading.... More

I stayed here during a girls weekend away, with two of my girlfriends and my infant child, sharing 2 rooms. I was thoroughly impressed with the place, from the cleanliness of the rooms to the wrap-around porch on the second level, to the incredible kindness shown by the proprietor Glenn. He was very accommodating to our needs, a pleasure to... More

All the of excellent and positive reviews are accurate. This B&B is a gem. The room was quiet and comfortable. If you've ever been to Cape Cod, this is the next best thing without having to leave NJ. Outdoor enclosed showers, lots of wonderful bikes to ride. Walking distance to a lovely restaurant, and the general store. Some of the... More

Spent a very enjoyable and relaxing day and night at The Bentley. The host and proprietor, Glenn, as extremely pleasant and a joy to talk with, offering great local tips and a nice bit of history on the property and the town. Day passes to the beach (a short 2-block walk) were provided, as well as free use of bicycles.... More

For our summer get-together, my college friend and I were interested in a beach overnight, with great walking in a pretty town with a wide private beach, wine and cheese on the porch in the evening, and a good breakfast in a sunny dining room before we headed home. At the Bentley, we enjoyed a very accommodating host in Glenn,... More

This BnB is a delight. Owners are extremely friendly and accommodating. Went with our food allergic daughter and they went out of their way to assist. Many things to do - nice that beach chairs and badges are included. Bikes are also available, and Bay Head is a wonderful town for biking. Rooms are a bit tight and dated, but... More

Everything worked well, including the AC in July!!!! Lots of rooms (we had a family reunion there.) The Inn is equipped with lots of extras like beach chairs, outside showers, available water and ice, such nice touches in the hot summer. The best part is how Glenn happily helps with all questions and special requests. I am a picky traveler... More

Wow - what a gem! The Inn is a short (half block) walk from a fabulous beach. We got a comfortable room, great common areas, a super patio/wrap around porch, a large selection for breakfast, outdoor showers, bikes for use, seeing fireflies for the first time and the bonus? A simply wonderful host - Glenn ! I would stay here... More

It is true we are on a main road (speed limit 25 mph) and it does generate some noise. Once we became aware that we had a noisy air conditioner, we replaced it with a new quieter air conditioner. For folks who are sensitive to some road noise, we recommend staying in rooms that are off the main road. We... More
