    Belmar Weekend Getaway

    September 16, 2012

    I wanted a weekend getaway before returning to work. I came across "A Dream By the Sea" from an internet search. The inn is lovely; and Michelle and Carmela are gracious hosts who are very attentive to their guests and makes everyone feel welcome. The rooms are beautiful and immaculate. The breakfast is delectable. The inn is close to the beach and several eateries. My only regret is that I couldn't stay longer, but will visit again. C. Snow, 2012

    OUTSTANDING

    August 07, 2012

    From the moment we walked up the front steps and was warmly greeted by Michelle and Carmella, we new we were a " Home away from Home". We stayed in the Sandman. The all cotton white bedding was the most comfortable bed I have ever been in. The plush white terry bath robes were so thick and soft you wanted to disaappear in them. And the creams and lotions were just another added special touch ! Breakfast was more than delicious. The table was filled with fresh fruit, yogurt, granola and wonderful breads. And of cousre there was egg casseroles and orgnaic bacon and sausages for those who wanted to endulge. ( we did ) and it was so worth it.! Michelle and Carmella went out of their way to be sure we were comfotable and had everything you needed. My hobbie is to look for sea glass. When I mentioned to Michelle I couldn't find any, she was gracious enough and gave me one ( a blue one ) from her collection. We left with hugs and fond memories. Thanks Again Michelle and Carmella

    and it is great for a family with children too!!

    August 01, 2012

    I took my daughter to the beach for her fifth birthday and our stay here was lovely. Carmella even went to the trouble to prepare macaroni and cheese for my daughter's birthday breakfast. The rooms are beautiful and comfortable and both the hostesses are very warm and welcoming. Thank you!

    Wonderful inn in Belmar

    July 22, 2012

    Lovely, spacious room renovated with sound-proof windows and central air conditioning. The inn, just off the main street, is a ten-minute walk or two-minute drive to a beautiful beach. Although the accommodations were very comfortable, it was Carmelas's and Michelle's hospitality that we appreciated most. The breakfast was a feast, delicious as it was plentiful. We stayed two nights and regretted not staying longer. Although this area is expensive, A Dream by the Sea is a very good value.

    Fantastic!

    July 06, 2012

    My boyfriend and I spent a night here in the Moonlight suite. It was amazing! The room was beautiful and the bed was very comfortable. The location of the inn was perfect for us as it is close to many restaurants. The breakfast was fantastic! Michelle and Carmella really make it a wonderful stay for their guests. We are both vegan eaters and they made sure to have plenty of breakfast options for us. We hope to try and come back before the summer ends!
