“Perfect!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 August 2011

We just came back from here. We wanted some place to spend a few days that was clean, quiet and near things and this was perfect.

Great location--walking distance to the beach (take the tram if you have little children or a lot of stuff), the lighthouse, restaurants, shops. The room was spotless and a good size, the owners were very friendly and helpful and it's so quiet. Never heard anything from the people on either side even though one of them had little children, and it's very reasonably priced, considering we went at peak time.

We'd never been to Long Beach Island before; we loved it and this hotel was one of the reasons why--we will certainly be back!

“We loved it! So great”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 July 2011

Stayed here for 5 days with my boyfriend and brother. Rooms were nice and very clean. We were so close to the beach, but the hike from the road to the ocean was a long one. They offer shuttles every 30 minutes (which we did not know). Always had a parking spot. The only downside was that we were so far away from everything on the other end of the island, we were always driving! But the hotel itself was great.

“Exactly What We Wanted”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 June 2011

The North Shore Inn is reasonably priced, clean and located just a block from the beach. Our room was clean (yes, we checked the matresses and they looked beautiful) and comfortable for our family of four. Our room had two queen-sized beds and we slept like babies after days of playing on the beach and biking LBI. We got an efficiency room and the little fridge and stove enabled us to spend less time in restaurants and more time playing.

The folks at the desk were friendly and helpful and accommodating. They provided us with beach passes and they have two outdoor showers in the back of the hotel so you can keep your room sand-free. There's a bike rental place across the street and a small grocery about four blocks away. There's also free Wifi. We all loved staying here and we will be back.

Room Tip: For only $10 more, we got an efficiency.

“Clean rooms, reasonable rates, warm & friendly atmosphere in a great location!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 August 2010

I've been staying at the North Shore Inn for the past decade and have never had anything less than a wonderful vacation. The rooms are kept very nicely, the owners and staff are accommodating, friendly and professional. Their location is one of the bet kept secrets on Long Beach Island ! I can say with certainty I have never seen a roach there! If you found your experience was less that Borebrush from San Diego, Calif then perhaps you were a bit loopy yourself and don't know where you actually stayed?!

“Nice, low-key place to stay”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 August 2010

We enjoyed our stay at the North Shore Inn. It is definitely nothing fancy, but the room was clean and pleasant, well-maintained by the cleaning staff, and the owners were very friendly and helpful. I was alarmed to read the very negative review below but can assure people there were no roaches at this hotel - it is clean and well looked-after. We had a kitchenette in the room which was helpful for quick snacks, and plenty of great breakfast places nearby. Next time, I might choose a place to stay which has more pleasant outdoor space, but I didn't see many places like this in the area. It is relatively bare-bones, but again, a nice place to stay if you are going to be spending most of your time at the beautiful beaches nearby or eating out at the many restaurants around. I did find the beds to be too hard, however, which many people don't mind but this did not agree with my back very well.
