    very nice

    September 17, 2012

    Had a lovely stay at the Island Guest House for my sister's wedding. Our room was clean and comfortable. The food was excellent (they were very kind to take care of my vegetarian needs). The location is perfect. About a block and a half to the beach or shopping and dining. We felt right at home with the hosts and their friendly staff. Great first time on LBI and when we come back, we know where we'll stay!

    We had an excellent stay

    August 13, 2012

    We were a little hesitant because of some bad reviews posted earlier, but they were totally unfounded. We can't say enough good things about this place. The owners made us feel very much at home. The location is excellent. The room was well kept and comfortable. It was a lot of fun taking the tandem bike out and riding around the island. We would definitely come back

    Nice Place, Great Location

    August 12, 2011

    Stayed here for annual girls weekend. We enjoyed our private entrance and small patio area best of all. The entire B & B was very nice, public areas were easy to access and pleasant, and owners were very welcoming and helpful. Our room was a bit small for three but the location was great - very close to everything but also quiet and removed a bit from the hustle bustle.. Breakfast was tasty but servings were a bit small. We enjoyed the food very much however. Overall a good experience and I imagine it is a great value in the off season.

    Great B&B!

    August 08, 2011

    We had a great time at the Island Guest House. The rooms are very clean and the bathrooms are updated. Mark and Joanne were very accommodating, and the breakfasts were great! The location is w/in walking distance to the beach, restaurants, and all attractions in Beach Haven. It is a relaxed atmosphere and we definitely felt like we were at home. We met some great people while we were there. It was definitely a great value for the area. We highly recommend staying there!
