We stayed here for a family wedding. Matt and Joanne and the ladies of the Island Guest House were wonderful hosts and made us feel right at home. The room we were in was clean and comfortable, as were all the public areas. We truly felt like we were staying in a friend's house! They were happy to take care... More

Stayed here for a family wedding. The owners and their staff were very friendly and catered to any request (within reason) made of them. Food was excellent. The place was clean and comfortable. Would stay here again if we should ever come back to Beach Haven.

Most amazing experience!! I was their for my moms wedding and from the InnKeepers to the staff everything was top notch!! I hope to make a trip back soon!! I truly enjoyed the feel of a B&B compared to a hotel where you don't get the same feeling. Here you felt like you were spending the weekend with a family!!

My Wife and I made last minute reservations for Labor day weekends t the Island Guest House Bed and Breakfast Inn. We were attending a baby shower, but decided to spend the weekend and enjoy the last weekend of the summer, down the Jersey shore. Surprise, Surprise!!

This B & B turned out to be a big disappointment, especially at $340 per night! The place is a bit run-down and not well kept. The walls are paper thin. I heard the guy in the next room snoring all night. The next morning, I could her everything they were saying...clearly. No privacy at all. Breakfast was a disappointment... More

To respond to this review, I first want to talk about breakfast. We run a large Inn, and even though a B&B breakfast is generally designed around one main entree per day, we strive to accommodate various appetites. That morning we had some younger people who discussed with us their preferences for a simple breakfast for their group. So in... More

and hope to for many, many more. Mark, Joanne and their entire family make us feel right at home in their totally unpretentious home. There's nothing to do but unpack and relax. If you need something, there is always someone around happy to help out, but most of the time you'll feel like you've got the whole place to yourself.... More

After 35 years apart, we found each other again and want to make our wedding day the most memorable ever. We had almost given up all hopes of a "beach" wedding on LBI until "Google" took us to The Island Guest House! We called, Joanne and Mark invited us to be their guests to come and see what they could... More

I usually only offer advice for positive trips, but this was so bad I had to share. We stayed here during the summer and were very uncomfortable from the moment we arrived. The room was not level (the floor actually sloped) and was very noisey and dirty. I found a sock under the bed....ugh! The innkeepers were not very friendly... More

This was a great place to stay in Beach Haven. We were a group of five at the last minute and we were able to fit an extra person in the cottage. It worked out perfectly because of the outdoor shower - I didn't shower inside once! It was awesome! The included breakfasts were terrific and so were the afternoon... More

The Island Guest House in Beach Haven was a major disappointment. The initial outrage occurred at check-in. We had booked a two night stay in a particular room on-line, choosing the room carefully to celebrate our wedding anniversary. When we checked in we were shown to a different room – not at all like the one we had booked. We... More

We were very sorry about this review, as we try to go above and beyond to right any mistakes. A conflict occurred between our on line and written reservations, causing the original room to be unavailable. We offered an upgrade to king, as well as of course not holding the guest to their reservation. They had chosen a room from... More

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
The Island Guest House has been Voted the Best Bed & Breakfast on Long Beach Island. It is a turn-of-the-century historic Inn, located oceanside in the heart of Beach Haven, New Jersey. You can walk to everything. The owners, Mark and Joanne, work hard to make you comfortable, and provide the lovely setting, ambience, and character that a 100 year old plus Inn affords, updated with modern amenities like WIFI, flat screen TV, A/C, etc. Some rooms have private decks, his/hers double size shower. Our bicycle-for-two is fun and lightweight beach chairs, boogie boards and outside enclosed shower to rinse off are convenient. Taste homemade breakfast and afternoon refreshments like cakes and cookies from family recipies, and iced tea or lemonade to quench your thirst after the beach. Enjoy coffee 24 hours, and chat with the Innkeepers about things to do in the area. Come and experience the restfulness of our Bed and Breakfast Inn! Couples can get away, and there is an area for well behaved children. We also have a cottage with gas fireplace and bathtub with jacuzzi jets that sleeps 4, and accepts dogs of a not-too-large, well behaved nature. Families and friends can find accommodations for up to 10 in their party. Our Sea Glass room is new, holds 36, and has a large flat screen TV for movie night or a special game or event. Our garden has 10 umbrella tables and over 300 blooms, has a lighted patio and candles in the evening. With lights shinging through the many stained glass windows in the Inn, it is a perfect place to gather and chat, or be secluded together any time. Our cafe kitchen with its large island is a favorite place for guests to feel welcome to come and perch and chat with the Innkeeper over a cup of coffee or treat, or watch us prepare goodies. You can even get a recipe or help! We try to provide assistance without hovering, being sensitive to your needs to relax, and get information when you need it by always being available. We carry our phone with us always even at night when we retire. Throughout our stay, we only ask that if you have any questions or needs, to let us know, because we cannot help you if you wait untill checkout. ... more   less
