The perfect gift for every occasion

  • The Williams Cottage Inn, located in beautiful Beach Haven, NJ. Luxury by the Sea. Open Year Round.
    Inspired by this room's ocean views, the Blue Room is a sea of blue and white, silver and crystal. Ocean blue walls with original white woodwork surround you in a king-sized bed draped in blue and white toile fabric while a crystal chandelier gleams overhead. Antique silvery mercury glass accents shine atop the original fireplace. Antique armchairs provide relaxation and soft daylight fills this beautiful space through the many toile-draped windows. The private bathroom is a land of luxury with its carrara marble floor, pressed tin ceiling, and original Victorian beadboard wainscoting. Blue and white toile surrounds you as you bathe in a clawfoot tub under a crystal chandelier. A separate double shower is clad in carrara marble and fitted with an abundance of shower jets.
    You're on top of the world in the Dome Room. The beautiful ocean view is made even more dramatic in this octagonal room where you can see all the way up into the domed ceiling! You'll have a perfect ocean view from the queen-sized brass bed. Golden throne chairs perch beside the expansive floor-to-ceiling windows under a dramatic antique chandelier and your surroundings are doubled in an Eastlake mirror. Soft sea glass and sand colors envelope your floating dream world. Victorian tradition is dramatically reinterpreted with the private bathroom's beadboard wainscoting, black and white marble floors and distinctive wallpaper. The champagne bubble 02 pedestal tub has its own ocean view and the marble double shower is fitted with multiple jets for your pleasure. An antique gold Federal mirror gleams above the black vanity.
    As welcoming and refreshing as a garden in springtime, this delightful room has French doors leading to a private porch. Soft colors, Floral wallpaper, botanical prints and delicate hand-painting on the queen sized bed abound in this flowering retreat. Even the rugs are softly patterned. Open the French doors, relax in comfortable cushioned wicker chairs and feel the ocean breezes blow away your cares in your own private Eden. The private bathroom continues the soft hues of the bedroom with an antique bronze and milk glass chandelier illuminating the pastel marble floors and shower.

    The private bathroom in the Asian Room is a zen world of wonder. Smooth pebble floors, bamboo walls, a steam shower and a Japanese soaking tub will seduce your senses.
    Enter The Williams Cottage Inn and you will be welcomed back to Beach Haven in the 1880's. The foyer retains the original wooden staircase and decorative terra cotta fireplace. Victorian hand-screened wallpapers wrap the octagonal space in a wealth of beautiful patterns lit by the warm glow of an alabaster chandelier. Oriental rugs and stained glass lead you to the reception desk where even the bell is authentic to the period. Amply cushioned window seats invite you to lean back, relax and stay awhile. For private parties, the original hardwood floors provide the perfect dance floor!
