What guests think

Across reviews, Ocean Park Inn stands out for spotless rooms, warm and attentive hosting by Dominick and family, and a walkable location near the beach and Asbury Park, with cozy common areas like porches and a kitchen enhancing stays.

Breakfast, often featuring frittatas and good coffee, receives frequent praise. Rooms are simple and on the smaller side, many with shared bathrooms; some note no TVs and occasional noise, while others found it very quiet. Parking is mostly on-street and can be tricky at busy times. Expect a clean, friendly, beach-town B&B with a relaxed vibe.

We had an amazing weekend at this Bed and Breakfast! It was the perfect getaway. My favorite part at this place was the free breakfast every morning. The 2nd floor has a beautiful balcony to eat on in the morning.

A traditional bed and breakfast quaint and cozy. We had a en-suite room, It would have been perfect with a TV in the room as we often watch in bed before sleeping, although you can sit in the common area on the large couch. We used the free beach chairs and towels to have a great day on the beach just yards away. And walked to the main part area of Ashbury Beach.

The nice thing about Ocean Park Inn is its proximity to the towns shops on Main Ave. as well as proximity to the modern parts of Asbury Park. It is 2 blocks to the beach and board walk; there are showers in the back of the house. We like to relax on the porches. The breakfast is simple and convenient. Coffee at 7:30am. (Breakfast starts 8:30) We toured the ‘Centennial House’ and the great ‘Auditorium’ which was especially interesting to my daughter who loves history.

A lovely little inn in the traditional style. Not fancy but well-maintained. Very close to the beach, so appreciated the beach towels and chairs available to use. Appreciated the ability to have access to a full kitchen.

I want to not say anything and keep this place to myself, but that would be an injustice to the owners. This is an amazing spot. The walk to the beach is only two blocks. The beaches are well kept and the boardwalk is an amazing attraction. The place is within walking distance to the best parts of Asbury Park. The room I got was a smaller one because I was traveling alone. I would suggest opting for a larger room with larger bed if you are traveling with family or significant other. If it's a large space and room amenities you want this isn't it. But you don't go to the Jersey shore to stay in your room. The room was cozy and a good place to crash every night. Complimentary beach chairs and towels were a big plus. The breakfast was a very nice touch and one of the reasons I chose this spot. I'll definitely be back.

The Ocean Park Inn was amazing for our one night in Asbury Park to see a show at the Stone Pony. It's within walking distance of Main Street with shopping and dining options, as well as within easy walking distance of the beach and the boardwalk. We stayed in a double twin room and felt that it was spacious, clean, and convenient. The shared bathrooms were not a cause for stress at all (there was both a full bath with a walk-in shower and powder room on our floor). Our mattresses were also super comfortable, and all of the guests were very respectful of quiet hours. We would definitely stay here again and hope to visit Asbury Park in the future very soon!

This is a lovely house, liked the frittata for breakfast and lots of great dining and ocean views a short walk away. Also great that there is the lounge on the third floor for guests. Our specific room had 2 small beds with bathrooms down the hall, we were pretty chilly the first night and then found blankets and think the heat was on so more comfortable the 2nd.

You can't beat the location! The Ocean Park Inn is located about 2 blocks from the beach and almost any other restaurant/bar/attraction you'd want to see is walkable. The general area is quiet and because everyone staying at the Inn needs to be 12 , it's a pleasantly quiet place inside as well. When not at the beach/boardwalk/town, we enjoyed reading on the porch and balcony. There are no TVs in the individual rooms which, for my partner and I, was a bonus. This is a great place to go if you want to unplug and relax and really, why else would you be vacationing in a little beach town?

No amenities other than good breakfast and coffee. Tiny room painted gray. No decor, no table, chairs, or end table. One small closet and one dresser. Uncomfortable mattress although owner provided a mattress topper on request. No decor in room. Like a dormitory. Common areas beautiful and lovely porch. 2 blocks from beach. Disappointed having stayed at other bed and breakfasts in Ocean Grove. Owner is pleasant.

Location is excellent and walkable which was really our goal for the night. It was a decent and clean room with an updated private bathroom, but the walls are paper thin, and you can hear everything and everyone, especially the people using the shared kitchen and bathroom right outside our room until the wee hours of the morning. Did not expect our "private" room to be so close in proximity to the shared rooms. Also should have read the details more closely, as there was no TV in our room. Breakfast was ok but not great.

I had a super seamless experience staying here one night during the off season.

Dominick was wonderful to communicate with. He was friendly and prompt in his responses. We had a charity bike ride the morning we checked out and he had breakfast options ready a bit earlier than usual so we could have something before we left. He also looked up our ride and was chatting about it with us…such a gracious way to connect with guests! The property and room were spotless. It was in a GREAT location…short walk to the beach, across the pedestrian bridge to Asbury Park, short walk to the main restaurant/shopping area in Ocean Grove. Can’t wait to return!

You truly feel like your joining their home for your stay, filled with pictures of their family at the beach and throughout the years . I can’t say a single bad thing about this place!
