The Northwood Inn, a Queen Anne style Victorian built in 1894, was magnificently restored in 1990. The main floor of the inn includes a billiard room with a regulation size pool table, a fully stocked library and a dining room with cafe tables. There are seven distinctively decorated guestrooms, all with private baths and two with a Jacuzzi for two. The rooftop whirlpool spa is a great spot to watch the sunset and toast in the sun, sea, and stars all year long. The Northwood Inn is centrally air-conditioned, and rates include a hearty full breakfast on weekends or "Continental Plus" on weekdays, morning newspapers, beach tags and bicycles. Walk to the beach, boardwalk, shops and restaurants. The Inn is conveniently located 30 miles north of Cape May and 8 miles south of Atlantic City. Availability Online at inn web site. Personalized Gift Certificates are always available.

Great place, very clean, wonderful owners and staff. Convenient walk to Beach and shops, or use bikes offered for free by the owners. This home was totally gutted before all new renovations were done. It is pristenely maintained and just a pleasant environment to be in.

My friend and I stayed at Northwood on two occassions. The first time, John phoned in reservations for us at the Inlet and we got superior service in addition to a great breakfast and wonderful hospitality. On our second visit, Marge was our hostess. Marge was great...providing a super breakfast and a selection of DVDs to choose from for our evening entertainment.

We had a very enjoyable and relaxing stay. Marj and John were very accommodating. The food was excellent and the fruits were farm fresh. We will be back for another weekend getaway.

September 27, 2008
This was a satisfactory first experience staying at a B&B. I wanted to stay somewhere more cozy than a hotel. The room & private bath was very clean. I rated the room at 'met expectations' because it was just as the pictures showed..a little bigger would had been better for me. Good decorating taste. The rooftop hot tub is perfect for stargazing after a long day. I consider it a more modern B&B. You won't find any stuffy, overlaced rooms w/horrible wallpaper here! We actually did not take advantage of the breakfast. We preferred to sleep in & our privacy was respected.

If you are looking for a wonderful B&B in Ocean City, look no further. The Northwood Inn is a lovely refinished old Victorian home that is cozy and comfortable. Marg and John are wonderful owners and they take such great care of their guests. They have bikes you can take out for a ride, beach chairs for your use, a roof top whirlpool spa and a pool table, just to name a few things. The breakfasts are always the best and so delicious. We look forward to our yearly visit and always have the best time.
5 out of 5Best B&B in OC
August 24, 2008
I've been coming to Ocean City since childhood with my family and this was my first stay at a B&B. My husband and I loved everything about the Northwood Inn--wonderful hosts, Marj and John, a fabulous location (never used our car once), rooftop hot tub, massages on site, and much more. John even recommended a place to get a haircut that turned out great! We'll definitely stay there again if we don't rent a house next summer.
5 out of 5Relaxed elegance, genuine friendliness
May 17, 2008
My wife Marie and I first visited The Northwood ten years ago and have spent many enjoyable summer weeks/brief getaways there since. Before our first visit, we toured several of the nicer B&Bs in O.C. What we noticed then, and what we've appreciated ever since, is the uncommon combination of class/style and a completely relaxed atmosphere. John/Marj are the best possible hosts---extremely friendly and accommodating, engaging conversationalists, and very laid back. If invited, John will share his rich knowledge of OC history---he's a born storyteller---and Marj's breakfast creations are unique and delicious; both are delightful people. One of the small details I particularly love about the Northwood is the breakfast arrangement---a bright, cozy area where pleasant chat always abounds, but without a strictly regulated seating time or required communal dining. There are individual tables, but they're in close enough proximity to allow the opportunity to meet new people---and the Northwood has a knack for attracting an interesting and down to earth collection of guests---total absence of the stuffiness you sometimes find elsewhere. We immediately felt at home here and nothing has changed. Great people, great place to kick back and get refreshed.

Simply stated its just a beautiful home. The Loepers are just wonderful people. My impression is that this is a passion for them, not just a business. The breakfast was out of this world! The location is close to the beach. Attention to detail is what impressed me most. I am not a natural small talker, but I felt right at home - not a usually for me.
