Browns Nostalgia

We always have a wonderful time at Brown's B&B. A wonderful family atmosphere with wonderful rooms and great food. The Brown family goes out of their way to make sure you have a pleasant stay.

Our room was quaint and very comfortable. Unfortunately, Mrs. Brown has health issues and was having an emergency at the time of our visit. So we were not able to experience the food, and had to go to their restaurant way down the other end of the boardwalk. The food there was fine and the donuts were awesome! Also, due to the emergency, no one really explained too much about anything so we were kind of left alone to figure everything out. But our room was clean and the location is great.

Place was lovely. Daily breakfasts were superb. Our hosts were very welcoming and helpful. What a great vacation! Thank you.

Always enjoy my stay at Browns. The food is excellent, they make you feel at home. Everything that you need is right there. Thanks again for an enjoyable couple of days!

Have been coming to Brown's for the past 4 years. Was so looking forward to a long weekend but it was interrupted by hurricane Irene last week. Everything about this B&B is great. The rooms are always clean and the food is plentiful and delicious. Close to the beach and boardwalk. Couldn't be better. Will be back again next year.

We enjoyed the calm, relaxing environment that Brown's Nostalgia provides. The warmth and comfort is exceptional! The breakfast also delicious and we thoroughly enjoyed it!

The Innkeepers are very nice people who are trying their best but are very elderly. Rooms were clean. Parking was a big problem and very limited. On several occasions we had no where to park and had to spend lots of valuable extra time finding a place to park. The breakfast served was above average and tasty.

My husband and I stayed here for 4 days and 3 nights. The location is excellent, Mr. and Mrs. Brown are wonderful hosts, and the breakfasts were delicious!! Our room was very clean and cozy. We will be back!!

This is my 10th straight year that I have been a "guest" (actually feel more like a family member!) at Browns Nostalgia and am already looking forward to #11. Warm hospitality, great food, close to the beach and boardwalk....what could be better!? Thank you Harmon & Marj for another wonderful stay in my beloved Ocean City. ....Karen from California

I enjoyed my two day stay at Brown's tremendously. The room was delightful -- I could see the amusement park lit up at night from my window. The breakfasts were fabulous. Everyone was helpful and friendly. I would definiitely go back.

Old fashioned and quaint Bed and Breakfast. It's just two blocks from the beach. We had a very enjoyable stay and certainly would return for another one.

We just hd a lovely 3-night vaca at the Brown's.The staff was very helpful & informative. We definately would go back again!!

This was my second visit to Brown's Nostalgia. It is only about two blocks from the beach and boardwalk, and is a destination in itself. The family who owns the house is very friendly and makes the best breakfasts from scratch every day. The fact that they have beach passes and bikes is very convenient. I will be back next time!

We were blessed with a 3-course breakfast each morning, the best breakfast. The owners also treated us like royalty. They own a restaurant/donut shop on the beach. The atmosphere is truly relaxing.

Very beautiful Inn. Owners lovely people. Short walk to the boardwalk and beach!

We stayed at Brown's Nostalgia B & B this past weekend. Harmon and Marjorie could not have been any more welcoming! The guests are welcome to use all parts of the house and they even have bicycles for the guests. The breakfast was phenomenal and they even came a picked us up at the OC Municipal Airport!

Every area met or exceeded my expectations and when I opened my bedroom door in the morning after a very comfortable night's sleep, the delightful smell of breakfast made me feel like I was at home...safe and happy.

Cozy, comfortable, clean. This Victorian B&B home sits 2 blocks from the beach in a neighborhood of other lovely Victorian houses. Off a wrap-around porch a beautiful living room, fireplace with wood sculpture sets the mood. The elderly B&B hosts are fun, truly inspiring & accommodating. They are the icing on the cake.

The innkeepers were very gracious and hospitable, and excellent cooks. Banana pancakes with ground macademia nuts were delicious. Very relaxing stay here.

We rented the apartment below for the Labor Day weekend. We were happy to have found a B&B that could accommodate our family with 2 babies and were looking forward to our stay. In the morning my brother and his family went upstairs for breakfast. Rather than receiving a warm welcome, Mr. Browns told them that breakfast was not included as “the apartment was self sufficient with a kitchen”. My brother told him he would pay for breakfast. Mr. Browns replied that he was not sure if there was enough breakfast. Except for their webpage on BedandBreakfast.com, neither the Browns Nostalgia website nor their brochure mentioned that breakfast was not included with the rental of the apartment. We did not make the reservation with BedandBreakfast.com. I suggest that the Browns be consistent with their advertising. The bath towels were old and had a strong smell, like they were not well dried. I brought it up to the Browns attention and ask for clean towels. Were present Mr.and Mrs. Browns, their son and a couple who may be friends of the Browns family, who said that “they were wondering why the new and clean towels were piled up in the lower level” and added that we were using the old towels. The Browns’ son asked his father to go and get us new and fresh towels. Mr. Browns said that we should have opened the service door from our unit and we would have seen the pile of clean towels. Mrs. Browns was quite nasty. While I spoke to Mr. Browns I could hear her said “they should leave and that they should be charged for occupancy tax for using the linen”, as if the apartment was a condo unit in a separate dwelling! It seems like the guests who booked the upstairs rooms receive the right treatment and are warmly welcomed and served. While we did not experience what a bed and breakfast welcome should be.

Our website clearly states no children under eight and no breakfast included with an apartment rental. We are disturbed that our guests were not p[leased. We waived a weekly rental to accommodate them for two nights in the apartment, not realizing there were two couples and two cbhildren who were coming and assuming they were entitled to an overbooking plus breakfast. We do wish people would read the restrictions and not assume they would receive additional services by comlaining after the fact. It appears that lines of communication were comprimised.

The Browns are the main reason I continue to go back to their bed and breakfast again and again. They are the most wonderfully warm people that I feel more like a visit to close family or dear friends.

My daughter and I have stayed there the last 3 years. We recently stayed 4 nights in August, 2010. We look forward to going back every year. Marj's breakfasts are amazing! I loved her ricotta pancakes! Their b/b is quiet, clean and affordable. You will not be dissapointed. Marj and Harmon are wonderful hosts!

Stayed for our 20th anniversary. Lovely home and charming hosts. We felt "at home" here and will definately be back soon! Marjorie and Harmon (the innkeepers/owners) are great hosts and fun to talk to. The room was very nice and all is clean. Close walk to the beach. Breakfast was AWESOME and the coffee is some of the best I have had in Ocean City.

If you are looking for the best breakfast, comfortable beds, best hospitality from Mr. and Mrs. Brown, you couldn't ask for anything more! Outstanding!

What a delightful stay we had. Our room was very comfortable and Marj and Harmon could not have been more welcoming.

I can't say enough about our stay at Brown's Nostalgia. Harmon and Margie had such interesting stories to tell and they are such kind and sweet people - the food they prepared was out of this world. We'll definitely stay again. In fact, we'll be back Oct. 8-10th.

We really enjoyed our stay at Brown's Nostalgia. Harm and Marg were excellent hosts and the breakfasts were HUGE! We would definitely stay again.

Wonderful innkeepers! Fabulous hospitality. Delicious breakfast and exceptionally clean rooms!

We stayed at Browns Nostalgia in August 2008 for 3 nights. We had a two bedroom suite, and in our party we had 4 adults (parents and grandparents) and 3 kids (ages 10, 3, and 1.5 yrs). The accomations were clean and comfortable.

Great hosts, great breakfasts and clean comfortable room. Would definitely stay there again. Harmon has a great sense of humor.

Wonderfully maintained period home you really feel that you are a house guest, and a good friend. Breakfast was incredible...and plentiful!

We had a wonderful time at Brown's, the room was cozy and you can't find warmer or more gracious innkeepers! Feels like you're staying at your grandma and grandpa's place. Plus the breakfast was amazing every morning hand made by Marg.

The Brown's make you part of a family experience. Really get to know you and you want to go back every year!

Harmon & Marge provided a warm and respectful vacation stay with delicious breakfasts and kind words, and, of course, interesting stories! A lovely Victorian home adorned with family photos and a loving touch!

Our stay was made most comfortable by Harmon and his wife. The room we stayed in was very nice. Breakfast was superb!

Brown's Nostalgia B&B Inn is my personal oasis. Each year at tax time I treat myself to an overnight stay. It has become a home away from home as all aspects of my visit are comforting, soothing, and enjoyable. The rooms are impeccable, the innkeepers, Marge and Harmon Brown are personable and attentive and the food is great!

Excellent place to enjoy a Quiet and Relaxing time.

nice stay

The inn was an absolutely wonderful place to spend a quiet night! Our morning was spent enjoying conversation and a hearty breakfast. I would recommend this place to anyone!

If ever you want to find some 'alone' time, this is it! Friendly, courteous, helpful are the owners! But not intrusive! I give it a '10'!

We stayed for two nights over New Year's Eve. We were very happy with our choice of B&B. Our room was exceptionally clean, the innkeepers were friendly and the whole atmosphere was homey. We loved it!

Couldn't ask for better place, more amenities, or nicer innkeepers!!!

comfortable setting with beautiful antique surroundings. The Browns friendly atmosphere made our stay a delight. The breakfast was a delicious, gourmet meal that rated 4 stars!

A clean and wonderful B&B. We stayed in both an economy room and a nicer one, and both were superb. Food is excellent!

A very typical, old fashion seashore home. Very quaint and clean. The Browns were very personable. I love the family portrait int he sitting room. The family picture was taken at the shore/beach; what a lovely touch!

Our stay was extremely enjoyable and comfortable .

once again, an excellent stay. the rooms, ambiance, and breakfast are always exceptional. A 2-thumbs up!

Room was great and very clean. Breakfast was wonderful. Innkeepers are very friendly and are very welcoming to everyone!

Great B&B Fabulous breakfasts!! The Brown's were the funnest and greatest hosts!

Very nice, friendly couple own this B&B. Charming, clean, unbelievable breakfast! We had a wonderful time and would recommend to anyone.

Mr & Mrs Brown and their daughter made us feel quite at home. Their hospitality made us feel pampered. We enjoyed our stay at this lovely place.

Delicious breakfast and amazing views!
