      I only spent one night at the Carriage House, but I wish I had had more time to spend there. The host and hostess were very welcoming and pleasant. The breakfast was gourmet delicious, and I enjoyed the quaint, old-world atmosphere of the place. One block from the shore, and a short distance to stores and restaurants. I would definitely recommend it.

      Phil and Kathy are fine hosts and made us feel welcome in our all-too-brief return to our former Ocean Grove neighborhood. The room was comfortable. It was arguably a bit small but I imagine that's typical for B&Bs at the shore.

      Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Apr 9, 2008

      We loved our stay at the Carriage House. The Inn is beautifully restored with modern touches like the bathroom fixtures but still all keeping with a charming victorian decor. A few tiny cut corners that I think they should fix: toiletries in the bathroom. there was only soap and there was no shampoo or hairdryer. Perhaps real flowers rather than fake in the dining area and also more attention from the staff at breakfast. It was kind of 'get it from the fridge yourself'-style for condiments and milk, etc, though breakfast was delicious and the innkeepers were welcoming and friendly. Highly recommend.
