This is the perfect place to be in Ocean Grove. The location is superb for walks on the boardwalk/beach, to the Main Ave for shopping, to the Auditorium for shows and the quaint tent city. The staff could not have been nicer or more helpful. Ideas were suggested for things to do, reservations made for places to eat, and arrangements... More

Seven of us retired teachers just came back from a mid-week reunion at Ocean Plaza. This was a return trip, following rave reviews from our group in 2010. We couldn't have been happier. Vicki and the rest of the staff bent over backwards to make us feel at home. A highlight was the catered dinner in the dining room/porch overlooking... More

The location of this B & B was convenient to the Great Auditorium where the choir festival was being held--just a short walk. We had a room on the second floor where the breakfast area was located. So, we had a nice view of the ocean. The room was clean but not with many amenities. An upgrade to the building... More

Bed and Breakfast = Zero Stars Victorian Inn = Four Stars The Good: Fantastic location exactly one block from the beach. Also walkable to town and all that Ocean Grove has to offer. We received a nice off-season rate for our Easter weekend stay. Clean and comfortable room with double beds and a private bath with shower on the second... More

Always wanted to check out Ocean Grove after a brief stroll through a few years back. Ocean Plaza rated #2 inn at this beach. My boyfriend booked over the phone and was told the rooms here were bigger than it's sister inn, Ocean View, which was my original choice. The inn has real victorian charm from the outside, but inside... More

Thank you for your feedback. Every bed and breakfast is different. We are a Victorian style bed and breakfast and while our furniture may look “old” to you, it is actually characteristic of that era. If we “updated” everything our rooms would no longer have a Victorian feel. If you prefer more contemporary, than I would suggest our other B&B,... More

Lovely restorded grand Victorian a scant block from the beach and very close to the big old beautiful auditorium. You can sit on the porch catch a breeze pour some wine (they have fridges for the guests if the room does not have one) and enjoy the view of the ocean. I have stayed in a regular queen room as...

We stayed here for 2 nights in November. The location was ideal and the rooms very clean and fairly modern. What was truly amazing was the view of the Atlantic from the patios and the breakfast area. It is half a block to the beach and a few blocks from the main street so a very terrific location. The breakfast... More

First of all, I'm NOT a big Bed & Breakfast fan. Most are old, small and lacking the standard comforts on expects from a modern hotel (air conditioning, on-site parking, etc.). That being said, The Ocean Plaza was a wonderful experience! Ocean Grove has no hotels, only Bed & Breakfasts. We were looking for a few days near the beach,... More
