A simply beautiful B&B just steps from the beach. Each of the eight rooms is decorated exquisitely yet in a very comfortable manner. The tone of warmth and friendliness is set by Bette and Merle and they are very eager to make your stay the best it can be. The breakfasts are outstanding as well. There is really nothing missing...

Lovely rooms, fantastic breakfasts...a romantic spot! Merle and Betty are wonderful, warm hosts who truly take care of every need. Close to a beautiful spot on the beach. Best inn on LBI. Can't wait to return!

My husband surprised me with a stay at the Williams Cottage Inn to celebrate our first wedding anniversary last weekend. My family has a home on LBI, so we are very familiar with the area, and I would frequently go for runs or bike rides past the Williams, and I always commented on how beautiful it looked. Now I can...

We stayed here in September and booked the "elopement package." From the initial phone calls to our departure, Bette was warm, friendly and helpful. We stayed in the Dome room and loved it. The breakfasts were the best we have ever had and Bette and Merle were kind enough to accommodate our food allergies. The arrangements for our ceremony were... More

Although we lurched out with a perfect fall weekend, Williams Cottage Inn is worth the trip even during a monsoon. We stayed in the Rose Garden room (featuring a window seat and a sitting room with a gas fireplace - bliss!). Our innkeepers kindly suggested dinner destinations and made our reservation too - and while we waited we enjoyed delicious... More

Normally we vacation on OBX but with our limited schedule this year, we only had a few days to get away. Based on the on-line reviews we read, this B&B seemed to be the right fit for us and was it ever! Bette and Merle are outstanding! Right from the start, we knew we had a made a friend while... More

Couldn't have asked for a better place to unwind for a few days after our wedding! It was the easiest place to go, didn't have to think of much to bring, all beach accessories were provided and the bikes were a great plus. The location was perfect, steps from the beach and right near Bay Village and many great restaurants.... More

Bette and Merle are instant friends and they think of everything. The house is so clean and the furnishings interesting. The gourmet breakfast was a real treat. We forgot beach chairs only to find put they had everything: cool chairs, umbrellas, beach bags (!) and plenty of oversized towels. We stayed in the 'Angel' room which has the biggest shower... More

My husband and I recently spent four days at the beautiful Williams Cottage Inn. It was the best vacation we have taken in ages! The Inn itself is a beautifully restored Victorian just a short distance from the beach. Everything is provided: beach towels, umbrella, chairs and beach badges. Bette and Merle, the innkeepers are wonderful! They provided a list... More

This welcoming B&B is not inexpensive, but it nonetheless offers good value. With ultra-strict zoning laws, Beach Haven has proportionately few by-the-night rentals of any kind, so prices are generally steeper. But, beyond that, the Williams Cottage Inn has done a terrific job of thinking through the needs of busy people slipping away to the beach for a few days.... More
