The Jersey Shore Best of IgoUgo

Overview

Quote:
We have been traveling with 10 or more of our friends to the Jersey Shore for the past 4 years to watch the annual AVP Beach Volleyball tournament. You won’t find any big hotels in the towns along the shore but dozens of Bed & Breakfasts. Our very first visit we stayed in Belmar which is next to Avon-by-the-Sea. Belmar is a beautiful town but geared toward the college crowd. There are only a few really nice Bed & Breakfasts. Unfortunately I learned this the hard way.

Heaven is the only way to describe this B&B.

The Inn Keeper was pleasant (it is under new ownership since we went). Very nice rooms, clean and well decorated. We went in June and they didn''t have the air conditioners in the windows and we needed it. Perfect place to stay except they have minumum night stays in the summer.
