This bed and breakfast is directly in front of the beach. Perferct location! It is a short walk from the shops over in Asbury Park, and close to the town. Be prepared to park your car, and relax. The rooms are clean and the house is run well. Everyone is friendly and helpful.

We stayed in Room 201 on the top floor, with a beautiful view of the ocean and access to the balcony right outside (shared with Room 200). Across the not-very-busy street is the boardwalk and the beach – it was closer than it appeared in the pictures! The shops and restaurants on Main Ave are a 3-minute walk, the fun... More

What a lovely place to visit. Good value off season. Very clean. Friendly, helpful staff. Our only problem was that we were told our room was on the second floor and it ended up being on the third (no elevator). That was probably our fault - they explained that the first floor is really the ground floor, not the first.... More

What a nice place to stay. It's right on the ocean. We got an Oceanfront room with a porch overlooking the beach. The people at the front desk were so nice and helpful. The room was a bit small with only a double bed, but in fairness the Hotel is 140 years old and the rooms due tend to run... More

My wife and I stayed here for a weekend and had such a great time. The Shawmont staff were all so very helpful once we arrived. You couldn't ask for a nicer group of people. Our room was clean, and the a/c refrigerated our room. LOL. Breakfast was light, (bagels, yogurt, juice, danish, fruits, and juice) The coffee and tea... More

Every year, I need some time to chill and regroup, and be free of life's day-to-day stresses. The Shawmont fits the bill for me, and this year was no exception. It's a clean, bright, well-maintained inn, across the street from the beach. In addition to a nice breakfast, they serve the best coffee on earth...TM Ward, NJ's finest..and it's available... More

My family blocked off several rooms here for my cousins wedding. It was a very nice quaint hotel. Our room was a single room and rather small but I honestly have no major complaints with my stay here. The staff was friendly and the rooms were clean. My cousin did have a bigger room with a double bed and a... More

My boyfriend and I stayed at the Shawmont for 4 days. We had a room with a balcony facing the beach. The hotel itself is decorated perfectly for the beach. It is clean, bright, and uses a lot of whites/sand colors. Our room was clean and comfortable, though the floor was a bit slanted (I'll let it slide though:) We... More
