The Lillagaard was delightful, overall. I enjoyed seeing the ocean from a corner room. The innkeeper and all other staff were professional, respectful, kind, and approachable. My room was charming, although small. I'd expected a table or desk, which it didn't have, nor could it fit one. The bed was very high up, which was fun, and slept magically. I never had a problem with wifi or noise. My room was adjacent to an upper level shared porch; if the weather had not been rainy, noise would have been an issue; they should alert people booking that room. Breakfast was a tasty mix of consistent standards with an occasional extra surprise (plantains, once). They could stand to vary the meat proteins, tho, i.e. turkey and/or chicken sausage alongside the pork and ham. I greatly appreciated the coffee/tea station and ample fridge, stocked with multiple types of creamers, w/plenty of room for takeout and drinks. The property was clean and well-kept for a building of its age (a little over 150 y/o). I own a very old house, so I am sympathetic to what maintenance involves, especially so near the ocean. That said, the wallpaper and woodwork in my room needed some attention in spots. Water rushing thru the bathroom pipes from the floor above rattled me for a day, but I adjusted. Not a problem; old houses are a big part of Ocean Grove's charm.

Family weekend Ocean Grove Beach

Wonderful B&B with cozy atmosphere. Hosts super helpful and friendly. Breakfast ample. Loved that Theresia tea and coffee available to make any time. Fridge shared for guests to keep their food. Wine fridge. The hosts provide beach towels, beach chairs, sunbrellas. You can get beach passes at lower cost than on-line. Three porches. Literally steps from beach and easy walk to Main Street. If your room is available, you can extend your stay to the late afternoon and have another full beach day. Parking on street was not an issue.
