Hello Glenn, Morgan and I had a wonderful time this weekend, and The Bentley Inn was all we had hoped for, and more. It felt like home, and you were the perfect Inn Keeper. Thank you for such a welcoming atmosphere, and attention to all details. We look forward to visiting again soon. Ann Szymaniak

I got married in Mantoloking NJ and stayed at the Bentley Inn the night before the wedding and the night of my wedding. The Inn is beautiful. Spacious balcony, quaint rooms with a lot of charm. I had wedding pcitures on the grounds and inside and they are really beautiful! The owner Glenn is a wonderful, friendly man and was so accommodating to me and my family on this very special occasion! It was a wonderful location for our photos and our wedding accommodation. We were so pleased!

I always look forward to my stay at the Bentley Inn. Innkeepers Glenn Kithcart and his wife Janet have a treasure here, and you will discover it, too, when your stay becomes the perfect balance between peaceful privacy in a lovely setting a block away from the beach, and exceptionally friendly and attentive hospitality by the management. --Lee Daniels

This was our first time at a bed and breakfast and it was such a pleasant experience! It was so nice and homey compared to yr typical motel room. We are planning to come back again and my husband cannot wait for the delicious carmelized frenchtoast!!! I and T

Interesting, relaxing, great hosts, close to the beach, charming nooks for reading and gabbing, easy access to tea, coffee, and snacks throughout the day, comfy beds, and a wonderful porch - who could ask for anything more. The Bentley Inn is my kind of place.

My husband had the pleasure of staying at the Bentley for a few days in September and had a wonderful stay. We loved the location, walking distance to the beach and close to restaurants and shops. One of my favorite things was the great porch outside the room. We will definitely be back!

As a frequent business traveler with scores of hotel loyalty points, I was somewhat reluctant to stay at a B&B for the first time. Finding the Bentley Inn however was a delightful surprise, and our long holiday weekend was one of the most relaxing ever. The Inn is spotless, and Glenn and his charming staff are wonderful hosts. The room was comfortable, and we looked forward to breakfast each morning and to the baked good 'du jour'. The location near the beach is perfect, and the use of the Inn's bike collection allowed for many pleasant rides throughout Beautiful Bay Head. If you're looking for room service, flat screen TV's and other amenities associated with the Hyatt Regency, this place is not for you, but for a relaxing, charming, comfortable and clean visit by-the-sea, I would highly recommend the Bentley Inn, and will definitely return again myself.

A few nights at the Inn were enough to gain me as a patron for years to come! From the moment we arrived to the time we departed the stay was more resort-like than at a B & B. While we had a sceptical eye about the shared bathrooms, it was no problem at all, they were always clean and almost always available. The Outside porch was a treat due to being a smoker in a "smokel-free" environment. Just sitting there at sunset was a nice retreat. Breakfast was fine (the hours are a tad narrow) and the coffee was outstanding throughout the day. If you are looking for nightlife in the area I suggest other venues, but if you want a relaxing, hassle-free and comfortable time away from it all, I truly recommend the Bentley Inn. I never write reviews but felt compelled to do so! Charlie Scamporino

Very clean, loved the outdoor showers and proximity to beach. Great breakfast. Balcony room was great, despite the traffic noise (hard to avoid on main road; subsided at night). Lots of trees made it pleasant and we ate a takeout dinner there at night, watching fireflies.

We had a wonderful weekend stay at the Bentley Inn in beautiful Bay Head, NJ. We were unexpectedly upgraded (for free) to a room with a private bathroom - the room was even better than expected. Everything was very clean and very comfortable. The rooms are small but everything you need is there, who spends time at the room anyway! The breakfast was very very good. Luckily our room was toward the back of the inn because the street the inn is on is very busy and noisy. We were able to open our windows and enjoy the breeze and sleep so much better than with the roaring airconditioner. The porch area is not very pleasant due to smokers and the traffic noise but that was not a problem for us at all, there is just too much to do in Bay Head to waste time sitting on a porch! A great experience! Thanks Glenn and Janet.

Hi Glenn, We wanted to write to let you know we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Your Inn is very well maintained and very comfortable. Your breakfast was also absolutely delicious. We had a great time walking the beach treasure hunting with the metal detectors and the recommendation you gave us for dinner was perfect! Thank you again for all your hospitality and it was a pleasure meeting Rose as well! Best Wishes, Rob and Stacy Hansen

I'm in the hospitality business and never get a weekend evening off followed by the next day off...until last weekend! Determined to do something special with my husband, I called the Bently Inn and spoke with the Innkeeper Glen, who was extremly accomidating. The B&B was "very clean", has wonderful wrap around porches and is very close to the beach. In the morning, while sipping hot tea & sitting out on the screened-in porch, we choose our breakfast from a small menu which was served to us by his friendly staff. We would highly recommend visiting the Bentley Inn. For guests, they truly make you feel as though you are "visiting the relatives with the beach house". We are already looking forward to our next time!!!

This was our first time staying at The Bentley Inn. The room was very charming, clean and comfortable. The innkeeper and staff are all so accomodating. We rode the bikes and relaxed on the beach for hours. Friends joined us for drinks on the wrap around porch. No need to drive, everything is in walking distance...great restaurant right down the block. Wonderful weekend in a special place. We will absolutely return!!

My husband and I have been to The Bentley Inn numerous times and each visit has been wonderful. We just returned from a one night stay, but after sitting on the beautiful beach, riding bikes through lovely Bay Head, relaxing with a cup of tea on the great porch, getting a restful night's sleep in our newly redecorated guestroom and enjoying a delicious breakfast, we feel like we've been away much longer. Glenn is the perfect host.... always going the extra mile for his guests. We have stayed at The Bentley Inn in all four seasons and already look forward to our next visit!!

This is a chance to stay in an upscale area of the Jersey shore that has only two B&Bs - because Bayhead will not allow anymore to open. The house is steps from the beach, and very pleasant inside and out. Friendly service, basic but very nice accommodations - we really enjoyed it!

We absolutely enjoyed our weekend at the Bentley Inn, and found the staff very helpful and accomodating. The only thing my friends felt was that people who need a more quiet room should ask for one, as our rooms were over a busy street. With the air-conditioner on, I didn't notice it, but when it wasn't on...we had a wonderful time!

Dear Glenn and Janet, SPECTACULAR in EVERY WAY was our stay at The Bentley Inn!!! This was our second summer vacation at The Bentley Inn. We choose The Bentley mainly because of the royal treatment we were given by Glenn and Janet and their staff! The patience and genuine caring attitude of Glenn, Janet and the entire staff is above and beyond any we have ever met in any of our travels. I have just ordered a gift certificate for my son and his wife's 1st anniversary for a stay at The Bentley...need I say more!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! Have a great season! Greatfully, Maureen & Tom

Dear Glenn Our first experience with a B&B was one that we will always look back on with fond memories. You and your staff provided such a warm and friendly atmosphere making us feel so at home. Your breakfast menu is so inviting not to mention delicious as well. Thank you so much for allowing us to use your outdoor showers, beach chairs and also provide us with a parking space our last day after we checked out. We would highly recommend your B&B to our friends and family. We were sorry we didn't get to meet Janet this time around but are hoping to meet her next time. Rosie stole my heart and I was sorry that I didn't say good-bye to her. We are looking forward to coming again very soon!

Staying at the Bentley is a wonderful experience...from the friendly owners and staff to the delicious breakfasts. Location so close to the beach is very convenient and the use of chairs, towels and even bikes means you can pack light!! We have stayed here several times and have never been disappointed. You will love the Bentley Inn in Bay Head as much as we do. I almost forgot... the covered porch on the second floor is heaven with a cup of tea, a good book and a delightful breeze!!

We'd heard Bayhead was a nice area and we wanted to check it out in the offseason. The Bentley Inn is a beautiful building. We stayed in the Rand Alan room which was a nice quaint comfortable room. I believe all rooms have access to the huge porch. We took advantage of the bikes they Inn offers. Breakfast was fantastic, in particular the caramelized french toast. Glenn the Inn Keeper was a nice amiable person too. Highly recommended. We're interested to see the place during high season too.

Stayed Labor Day weekend 2007, relaxing area, no crowds in Bay Head. Bentley Inn is only 1 mile from the NJ Transit (walkable!) and only 1 1/2 short blocks to the beach. Use of bikes, chairs, towels were great and made it very easy. The breakfast choices were great!

This is a great spot Down the Shore with everything you need for the beach which is far less crowded than other parts of the Shore. The breakfasts are sublime and the rooms very clean, comfortable and well-appointed. Gleen and the staff are the perfect hosts.

We spent a weekend in early August at The Bentley Inn. It was my mother, wife and I staying at the Inn. We were impressed with Glenn, his housekeeping staff, and breakfast staff. They were all so friendly, efficient, and took their jobs seriously. The amount of extras that Glenn and The Bentley offer are endless, from beach chairs and bikes, to wine buckets and cork screws to shampoo, conditioner and body wash in the outdoor shower. The breakfasts were delicious, and there were plenty of options. If I had to think of a negative, it would be that the rooms could use a slight "facelift" - paint, new linens, etc. Although, none of these things is that important when you are at the beach. We had a wonderful weekend. We will be back. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

This is a great place to stay with a great inn-keeper (Glenn) and wonderful staff. We were there on a rainy day, but still had loads of fun!! The breakfast was delicious. I highly suggest this place for a quick get-away, especaially if you live within an hour's drive - its rustic, quiet and not far from home. Real nice place. What else can one say??

I was a bit skeptic about staying at a B&B rather than a hotel/motel, having two young sons. But - they loved it, as did I. A homey environment, great food, and the best help from all staff in regard to assisting in directions and help for food, fishing, and the like. Everyone was quite nice. It was like having relatives there to help us. Without your help, we probably would have either lost or passed on the many opportunities we followed up on. Your location was perfect - a quiet, clean beach so close to the "action". As to concerns or comments, I believe you've covered everything in regard to a family stay - movies, great food, bikes, books, wind-swept porches, beach chairs, metal-finders, all included. I know not of any motel offering the same. So, I would say, I saved about $100/daily over a motel. No comparison!

There was absolutely nothing to complain about at our recent stay at this Inn - it was immaculately clean, the service from the moment you walk in was wonderful, it is literally a block from the pristine, almost empty beach in a beautiful neighborhood, and the breakfast was terrific. If there is a negative point at all, it was the fact that many rooms didn't have a private bathroom, but even this didn't become a problem in any way. Bay Head itself is not too exciting, but Point Pleasant and the boardwalk are very close by. I would go back in an instant.

We loved our stay. They seem to have thought of everything at this relaxed, cozy Inn. The beach was a block away. It was great to have free beach chairs and towels and an outdoor shower upon our return. We also really loved having free use of their bikes and locks to take a nice 10 minute ride into Point Pleasant for dinner. Then a fun selection of free videos to watch in our room that evening. The breakfast that was included the next morning was also great. Much more than a standard continental. And Glenn was really generous about a late check-out. We will definitely go back!!

The innkeepers were very friendly and inviting. Great location only a block to the beach. The free breakfast was delicious -- belgian waffles, omelettes, and carmelized french toast, mmm! Old house with thin walls, though; if it's busy you won't sleep in since you'll hear other guests moving about.

This is an awesome B&B. The owners are great, friendly and easy to work with. The rooms are clean and beautifully decorated as is the rest of the Inn. We had a wedding with aproximately 40-50 people. Everyone loved it! We all felt very comfortable, it was like home away from home, only better! Bayhead is lovely, and the Inn is right in the center..close to the beaches and stores. If you are looking for a great place to vacation or have a small private wedding...this is the place to go!
