The Carriage House B&B

We loved the breakfasts -- Kathi & Phil made us feel very welcome -- the rooms were tastefully furnished -- the location was perfect for our needs. Thank you.

We went to Ocean Grove to celebrate our anniversary on the spare of the moment and were delighted with finding room at the Carriage House. The owners were on sight, very welcoming. The breakfast spread was beautifully laid out with china and tableclothes which made us feel we as guests were appreciated. Would go back for a longer stay.

Kathi & Phil's Carriage House B & B in Ocean Grove, NJ was the perfect place for rest and relaxation from our extremely busy and tiring schedules. The house is exquisitely decorated and so warm and inviting. Phil upgraded us to a larger room...just because it was available....and at no extra charge. Our room was quaint and the ocean breezes lovely. The best part, however is the breakfast buffet, a delicious mix of sweet and savory choices that leave you completely satisfied. The fridge and freezer are stocked with goodies for late night snacks too. Carriage House is located conveniently close to the beach, (badges available at a great discount) main street, (with it's quaint shops and restaurants) and the wonderful auditorium (with all it's summer opportunities for spiritual renewal). We stayed for three days, two nights, and came away so refreshed and relaxed that we made reservations for the end of the summer too.

Stayed in room 7 - it's a perfect size for one person. The entire place was beautifully decorated and spotless. Only recommendation would be for the room to have a full length mirror. Breakfast was outstanding and the Innkeepers were both very nice. Plan to go back again. Wonderful location for a solo trip - very peaceful and relaxing.

We spent the 2nd week of our honeymoon in Ocean Grove at the Carriage House and it was nothing but perfect! Kathi and Phil are so lovely and we felt welcome and relaxed. Our room was really nice and the breakfast was outstanding. We already planing the next trip to the Jersey Shore and we want to stay at the Carriage House again.

Phil and Kathi are very gracious innkeepers. Our room was comfortable and we had a lovely stay. Note that the mattresses, while quite new and of good quality, are quite firm. We asked if when we come back, we could bring our own bed-topper because we like a softer bed. Phil said no problem, and he would even give us an extra sheet so we wouldn't have to undo the bedding. Also, be sure to get down to breakfast early if you are a coffee drinker. Kathi makes WONDERFUL breakfasts, but after that first pot runs out, it can be a wait for more, and you know how we coffee hounds are!

We had a wonderful time! Innkeepers were lovely and friendly. Kathy is a terrific cook and the breakfasts were truly gourmet. Rooms were sufficient and bathrooms fine. Air conditioning left a bit to be desired. Inn is clean and well kept. Especially appreciated discount beach passes and chair/umbrella availability. Thank you!!

Wonderful location - one block to beach. Friendly hosts - great breakfast - very clean.

Our first stay at Ocean Grove was a very enjoyable experience and The Carriage House B&B was a perfect place to stay. Our delicious breakfasts were an outstanding way to start the day. Relaxing on the porch lounge furniture on a 95 degree afternoon was a terrific way to spend time after a long beach walk. The Carriage House has a beautiful location - a block from the beach/boardwalk and a block from the "downtown" with shops and many restaurants with outdoor seating. Our convivial hosts, Kathi and Phil, make running a B&B appear effortless!

The innkeepers Kathi and Phil were so accomodating, friendly and helpful! The interior of the inn is beautifully decorated and meticously clean! The room we stayed in was also very inviting and comfortable. The bathroom was very clean and spacious. What is most noteworthy is the work that Kathi puts into her hot gourmet breakfast. The dining area is beautiful with lovely china plates and gold silverware. Each morning we looked forward to our breakfast. Kathi would tell us about each dish that she prepared fresh that morning! She saw to our every need and that of each guest. Phil was also very accomodating telling us about the history of the town and places of interest and restaurants to eat at that we found out were very good choices. All in all an excellent place to stay and so close to the beach!!

From the moment you step into this lovely Victorian Inn, you know you're staying somewhere special. The folks who own this B&B, Kathi and Phil, are the nicest people you'll ever meet. This was our first time here, but it won't be our last.

Hosts were very kind and gracious. Home is very peaceful and beautiful. An overall wonderful place!

The Carriage House is a lovely restored boarding house located one block from an exquisite beach. The ambiance of this precious gem, coupled with personable and ever attendant owners made our weekend getaway very enjoyable and most relaxing. Once we parked the car in front of the Inn, we never got into it again...the beach was viewable from the front porch and charming shops and restaurants were around the corner. To add to the experience, Kathi offered a fabulous breakfast which included quiche, stuffed french toast (the best!) and a delicious egg souffle. I would highly recommend your visiting the Carriage House. Tip: Our room had a lovely view; however, if you have a problem with stairs, I would recommend you choose one on the second floor.

Room was beautiful and breakfast and host outstanding. The host made us feel comfortable and home. Host was well informed and helpful.

We spent our wedding anniversary at this place and it was our first experience at a B&B and it exceeded our expectations. The owners are really great and the breakfast was really good. We were given a room with a view of the ocean just because the room was empty. We would definitely recommend this B&B to everyone. Mr & Mrs Nair

The proprietors, Phil & Kathi, were attentive and accommodating. Location is very good. B&B is clean, quiet & nicely decorated. We enjoyed Ocean Grove and Asbury Park.

This is a great place to stay for a weekend get away at the beach. It was close to the beach, clean and the owners were very very friendly. Highly recommend!

We had a wonderful experience for our first time at a B&B. Owners were very friendly and helpful. They made you feel like you were at home.

Accommodations were wonderful, and the owners went out of their way to make us fell at home. I will definitely stay again!

Lovely rooms, great location, delicious and healthy breakfasts. Kathi and Phil are gracious hosts.

This was my first stay at a B&B and it was a very pleasant experience. The place was so tastefully decorated and clean, and the owners were charming. We will definitely visit again!!

I was impressed by the hospitality and kindness of the owners. Their breakfasts are healthy, delicious and elegantly served. The rooms are perfectly clean. The location is perfect. I enjoyed every minute of my vacation at this beautiful place. Lena

We were down the Shore for an event, and we admittedly didn't spend much time at the Carriage House or in Ocean Grove (a delightful town teeming with beautifully restored Victorians). However, the inn and the Francos still made quite an impression on us - we've been enthusiastically recommending this place to our families and friends. Our room (No. 6) was tiny but cozy - it suited our needs for a place to spend the night. Breakfast was absolutely delectable. We definitely enjoyed our stay, however brief!

My wife and I were looking for a nice, quiet weekend getaway to celebrate our anniversary and we couldn't have picked a better place. The inn, the food, and the owners were all perfect. We'd recommend it to anyone!

We will surely come back!

The Carriage House was the perfect weekend getaway. It was romantic and relaxing. Like a honeymoon, just 10 years later!

very charming and inviting inn with very personable hosts. very nice rooms and excellent breakfast. we will return.

WE WOULD RECOMMEND THE CARRIAGE HOUSE TO ANYBODY WHO WANTS EXCELLENT FOOD, GREAT ROOMS AND OUTSTANDING SERVICE. WE PLAN ON VISITING AT LEAST ONCE A YEAR.

Kathi and Phil are gracious hosts in a lovely surrounding. They pay attention to detail and attention to the needs of their guests. Looking forward to returning.

We couldn't believe our luck when we found an opening at the Carriage House last minute for Memorial Day weekend. Kathi and Phil were amazing, the whole stay exceeded our expectations.
