May 1, 2026 we went to see a concert at the Boardwalk. Traffic was horrible. SO... I wrote to let the Inn know we would check in after the concert. They were most accommodating. The cookies were a wonderful touch, and the house was very comfortable. I did lose my Apple Watch somewhere during the stay. Perhaps someone found it? [email protected]

The location is great as its beach block, but we were there in April, so very cold. The Inn was old with a kind of cozy vibe. We didn't see anyone from the staff. In fact we left the key, when we left, with corner bakery. That is where breakfast is served. The bed was a huge disappointment! King bed with awful small pillows ( fit for a twin) terrible sheets and chinsy blanket. There are no thermostats in rooms so you need to go to hallway to regulate.

I had a above expectations stay here. I have stayed at a few spots around Ventor, and this one stands out above the rest. When they say \"breakfast included\", it's usually a cereal bar or something. Not here! A huge cooked to order omelet, generous side of fruit salad, toast, potatoes, made fresh, fast and delivered with a smile no less! The staff was so nice and accommodating, you just don't get personalized service like this much anymore. The room itself, despite appearing a little dated in the pictures, is far more charming in person. The bed was comfortable, the room was clean and set to the perfect temperature. The location is great, just steps from the beach, Wawa's, fine dining and they also have parking, a true rarity. Check in was easy, and if all that isn't enough, they also had cookies every night. Im a sucker for cookies, but great service deserves recognition and that's why I posted this review.

I like that it came with free parking and breakfast at the close-by cafe. I didn't, though, see beach towels that were supposed to be provided. I never saw any staff. Everything was done by text. We got there and the door was locked with nobody manning the registration. The \"code\" to get into the building was upstairs in our room. It would have been nice to have the access code on the paperwork we were sent so we didn't have to wait for a guest to come to the door and say, \"I'm not sure I'm supposed to let you in.\"

Had a great time at this Ventnor B&B.

This is a charming and lovely B&B in an older but updated building in Ventnor, NJ less than 1 block from the boardwalk. The people who run the place are friendly and accomodating and the breakfast was quite good. A few words of caution: there are stairs to get in and to climb to higher floors. The bathrooms have been updated but are small and my room was not large but others are larger. On the plus side, there are several good places to eat and a Wawa, all within 2 blocks. Finally, the parking lot is a block away.

I have been coming to this bed-and-breakfast for 20 years now and I can’t say enough good things about it.
The location is amazing. Everything is right around the corner. Lots of restaurants, drug stores, food stores, etc..
The beach and boardwalk are right there as soon as you walk out the front door, for a nice morning walk and a day at the beach. 😊
The place is always clean.
The staff always makes us feel like we are in our own homes, always meeting all our needs.
The little cafe for a free breakfast has incredible food, and a lunch and dinner if you want something close.
I can’t say enough good things about John, who always gets back to me as soon as possible with any needs that we have. I would highly recommend this place to anyone!

The locks were too old that we had to spend two minutes struggling to open it every time. The elevators weren’t present and the parking was far away.

It was ok. Pretty weird when I got there the morning of my check in the door was locked so I called John the owner and asked where I can get a beach badge and he told me check in isn’t until 330 and they won’t check for badges on the beach. Im not sure why he couldn’t explain to me where i could pick one up. Instead, I got to the beach and was immediately approached about needing a badge. The room I had for $250 a night was smaller than my closet. Parking was not easy. The beach was nice. I’d look somewhere else for the amount of money this place is.

This is my third time staying at the Inn, and the first time at the main property vs being across the street.
The room itself was great and I really enjoyed the small balcony attached.
My only criticism was that they used to serve a sit down breakfast in the inn. Now that they have a cafe, and with Covid, you need to pick up food to-go. I hope they go back to serving food in the inn after the pandemic.
Also, the pillows in the room really needed replacement.

A Resonably Priced Inn, In Season

The staff was great. The location is exceptional. Just steps fro mthe boardwalk and beach. Included breakfast at the cafe on the corner was a treat.
The rooms are well appointed with the exception of the carpets which are in need of replacement. Comfy cherry four poster bed. New bathroon with nice tile and stone. Hallways are a bit dingy and run down.
All in all if the carpet was in better condition, this would get an exceptional rating from us.

Downside: We were placed in a room in The Cottage. Found the room to be unchanged since the 70’s. Kitchen had rusty dirty appliances ( stove) cracked counter top, dirty finger marks all over all the doors. The futon was so old you sunk into the couch and had trouble sitting up. I thought I was in a camp bunk, but paid over 200 a night for the room. The owner didn’t leave us toilet paper. We were given two towels, no wash cloths. Basically the room was a disappointment . Perhaps if you took a room in the main house across the street the rooms were nicer. This room was just ridiculous to be charged for.
Upside: the place is 1/2 block from a beautiful beach and boardwalk. Cafe served a good breakfast in a socially distanced take away box. Free ice cream in the afternoon. Owner was pleasant and tried to be helpful.

This was a complete disappointment based on what the place looked like on line. The room was nothing like what was shown on line and we were actually in a separate building called the \"Bunk\" house. It was like a house that was cut up as a bordering room..

I talked with the owner and said that is the way the rooms are..

Great Little Hideaway in Ventnor

We love the feeling you get in an old B & B - like you're staying with an old friend, with charm and character surrounding you. In the best B & Bs, you feel like you're at home while you're really in a luxurious home, and we had a treat staying for a night at the Carisbrooke. We weren't able to be here long, but it was a quiet, charming, cozy respite in off-season Ventnor. We were minutes from AC and the major routes. The attention to detail and exquisite breakfast is one to remember. The Carisbrooke was a good value and we will stay again when we are in town.

Tranquility

I booked last minute (1pm) of the day of our arrival. I needed a late check in with a romantic package for my anniversary. I had never stayed at a B & B so I was unsure of what to expect. The Inn Keeper/owner John was very patient as I discussed the options with my coworkers around me browsing through pictures and side conversations along the way. We arrived at 12:30am. All of the check in instructions were provided with no problems including parking information. We opened the door to find soft lights, soft music, rose petals on the bed with champagne, cheese and fruit plater just as planned. The next day breakfast reservations were on time as promised and you can see the ocean from the front room. The house was clean, bathroom was immaculate, and the B & B was pleasantly quiet. We would definitely stay here again and look forward to going back. THANK YOU SO MUCH JOHN!! It was a pure pleasure!
