The Carriage House is a wonderful B&B with a great location only a few blocks from the beach. The breakfast was wonderful and they have beach supplies and bikes you can use during your stay. I would gladly come back anytime!

The room is absolutely beautiful and clean. The breakfast was so delicious and the inn keeper who also cooks the breakfast made us a breakfast fit for a King and Queen (we were the only 2 at breakfast). Very kind person. This is our 2nd time staying here and we will be back when needed. Thank you!!!

Overall a lovely stay at this property. Rooms on cosy/ small side but fine for couple of nights and it was just me. Rooms warm and everything worked. I was on ground floor along from breakfast room which meant it sometimes got quite noisy with other guests coming in and out. There was in issue with door lock when I arrived but this was fixed very quickly, which I appreciated. Breakfast was good although I would suggest perhaps leaving some things for guests to combine to their tastes. On 2 mornings the fruit had yogurts pre poured over which meant I couldn't eat them, perhaps just leave the components for guests to choose how to serve. Tea and coffee available all day which was great and no issues parking outside property (although I was there in low season). Used the free bikes one day, nice to have, but would suggest they might need a little maintenance on the breaks! All in all a lovely stay and would have no hesitation in staying again.

Anniversary getaway.

The staff was superb and responsive to all requests. Breakfast was tasty with the selection of fruit, yogurt, granola, various types of bread, turnovers and multiple different egg dishes. Coffee and tea were available 24 hours a day. The room was a third floor walk up, which could be a problem for some, but was not for me. The building was close to the beach and the downtown area.

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!
