I usually only offer advice for positive trips, but this was so bad I had to share. We stayed here during the summer and were very uncomfortable from the moment we arrived. The room was not level (the floor actually sloped) and was very noisey and dirty. I found a sock under the bed....ugh! The innkeepers were not very friendly... More

This was a great place to stay in Beach Haven. We were a group of five at the last minute and we were able to fit an extra person in the cottage. It worked out perfectly because of the outdoor shower - I didn't shower inside once! It was awesome! The included breakfasts were terrific and so were the afternoon... More

The Island Guest House in Beach Haven was a major disappointment. The initial outrage occurred at check-in. We had booked a two night stay in a particular room on-line, choosing the room carefully to celebrate our wedding anniversary. When we checked in we were shown to a different room – not at all like the one we had booked. We... More

We were very sorry about this review, as we try to go above and beyond to right any mistakes. A conflict occurred between our on line and written reservations, causing the original room to be unavailable. We offered an upgrade to king, as well as of course not holding the guest to their reservation. They had chosen a room from... More

We really enjoyed our stay at the Island Guest House. The rooms are very clean and the bathrooms are updated. Mark and Joanne were very accommodating and the breakfasts were great! The beach, restaurants, and all attracations are w/in walking distance. The atmosphere is very relaxed and we met some great people while staying there. We really felt like we... More

This was our first time staying at a B&B. Not knowing what to expect, Mark&Joanne and staff made us feel warm and welcomed. The house is beautiful. The grounds are beautiful. It was just a short walk to the beach wich we loved. Amazing place to stay. Cant wait to go back. Thank You for a great weekend! More

Loved our stay at the Island Guest House in Beach Haven NJ. Mark and Joanne are the nicest of hosts. Great breakfasts, calming environment, clean and well appointed rooms. The patio is just beautiful and the house is very interesting. Joanne will entertain you in the lovely tiled and "modern" Victorian kitchen. After all, as the old poem says, "No... More

It was our first Bed and breakfast, and we woulcn't have asked for anything more! Joanne and Mark were incredibly friendly and hospitable. The location was perfect. Walking distance from anything you could need on the island. The food and service were amazing, as well! Definately a place I recommend for anyone looking for a quiet weekend away, especially with...

I haven't stayed at a nicer place, and Mark and Joanne went out of their way to accommodate our large crowd, (and my son and his girlfriend when they came to spend the day..by giving them a room for the night, "on the house".) The Breakfasts were unbelievable. It's hard to see how it could get any better. We highly... More
