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.

Not so cute stat
Cute b and b Victorian style. Beach close by. Parking a nightmare but it’s the Shore in summer. I knew I had a twin bed but had forgotten how small they were. That would’ve been fine but you could feel the springs through the mattress and the bed had a bit of a tilt. Window covers were roll up plastic blinds that didn’t roll right. I tried to use the AC but it was right beside the bed and I couldn’t manage the noise. Ceiling fan and a sea breeze worked. The closet was in the bathroom. And after a shower the bathroom was full of mist. I had to crouch down to get under the shower head. I was only here one night but was told there would be snacks and tea making ability in the basement area. But when I returned at 10.30pm that area was in total darkness. Maybe put something in the lobby area so guests have better access? I had to leave before breakfast at 8am. But wasn’t offered a snack to take with me. No fridge. It appeared none of the rooms did so you had to mark your items and put them in a fridge in the lobby. The bedside lamp was so dim I couldn’t see. Thankfully the fan light was bright enough to read by. As a result, I headed off to my volunteer work with little sleep, a very sore back and hungry

The Lillagarrd B&B gets 2 stars from me. I would not recommend staying here. The host was unfriendly and would not upgrade my room even though I was of course going to pay for the upgrade - no matter what the cost. I was told they could not do it because I booked thru Expedia. The lodging was old and unkept. The bathroom had no sink to wash your hands. The shower had black mildew. It was terrible. Our room, unknown to us, was on the 4th floor - 4 flights of steps - no elevator. This should be told to prospective guests before booking. The "amenities" were items that I would never use - i.e. not even from the dollar store - less than that. We had a shared bathroom and was to be with one other room sharing - but any guest could (and did) use it. NO RECOMMENDATION FOR THIS B & B - I would not list this.
