We booked this last minute as a better option than our originally planned Sea.Hear.Now hotel in Wall Twp, so we could just park and walk. We arrived early enough on the day before that we were able to get parking in front and left the car for the weekend. Cathy and Nancy were there to greet us and give us all the info we needed. We were in Room 19 on the top floor. I was a little nervous about booking as it is an older building and I usually like to know I can get out easily - well, the door opens right to the door to the stairs that take you down the outside of the house. The entire place is clean and the breakfast and coffee are wonderful. Cathy did let us know that she will be leaving in a few weeks to move out of state but that she is leaving the b&b in capable hands! The room itself was very very small but since we didn't spend much time in it, it was fine for us. The third floor rooms do require lots of stair climbing, so be prepared for that if you book one. From the bed in Room 19, if you open your curtains you can see the waves on the beach. The bed was reasonably comfortable and the shower was great. My only wish would be for more shelving in the bathroom for toiletries -- we had to mostly leave them out in the room and bring them in as needed. The walk to Asbury Park is not short but it's pleasant and doable. Ubers are quick if you prefer to go that route. We walked everywhere. Would definitely recommend this B&B!

Love the church-camp feel, in particular around the Great Auditorium and the tabernacle and at the pavilion on the Boardwalk. The continuous Boardwalk from town to town is phenomenal! I've stayed at The Carriage House for many years and am happy that the new owners are maintaining its excellence. Breakfast was delicious and everyone was exceedingly friendly -- so homey! Very much appreciated the use of bikes, chairs, beach towels -- nice not to have to bring our own. Will definitely be back!

Kathy was absolutely delightful, making us feel so welcomed! It’s a great area to stay in, easy to walk to the shops/restaurants in Ocean Grove, the beach and a short walk to Asbury Park. It was raining so we couldn’t enjoy the beautiful courtyard area of the Inn. And we had to leave early for an event and didn’t get to enjoy breakfast. Wonderful place to stay and we look forward to going back!

It’s quiet, yet convenient to the beach, to downtown and to the auditorium and all of its activities. The manager Kathy was very welcoming and helpful. Her homemade breakfast fare was delicious. I hope to return to the Carriage hospitality and to my favorite quaint village, as soon as possible.

Very comfortable and awesome breakfast. The staff were very attentive to all our needs and Cathy greeted us upon arrival…I went for some rest and relaxation after my cancer journey and hearing this she upgraded us to a balcony room where I could sit outside and rest and listen to the ocean…Short distance is the beautiful Ocean Grove boardwalk and pier. Took a nice walk on the boardwalk into Asbury Park….short walk into town where there are shops and food. The bed and room were comfortable and decorated so warmly. Gina served an awesome home cooked breakfast! Must stay in this old Victorian town in this beautiful Victorian house.
