About this place The Ocean View Inn

The Ocean View Inn is a bed and breakfast at 22 Ocean Pathway in Ocean Grove, the Victorian seaside town immediately south of Asbury Park on the Jersey Shore. It is mainstream and gay-friendly, not a gay inn, and reviews are good (4.6 on Google from about 90 ratings). Ocean Pathway runs from the Great Auditorium straight down to the boardwalk and beach. Ocean Grove is quiet and historically dry, so for drinks and nightlife, including Asbury Park's gay bars, walk or drive a few minutes north across Wesley Lake. Summer weekends book out early. Contact the inn on (732) 774-6552.

The Ocean View Inn was great! Ocean Grove location is perfect for visiting Asbury Park! The building is quaint, clean and historic. Staff is friendly and reliable. The breakfast was delicious! We will be staying here every time we visit Asbury!

This was an absolute great place to stay for us! My boyfriend booked this place for us for our weekend trip in Asbury Park. The staff is so welcoming, friendly, and accommodating to all of our needs. Our room was nice and clean, and there is a beautiful breakfast buffet provided in the morning and all amenities were accessible to us which made everything VERY convenient! Also very close to the beach and boardwalk as well :)

This visit was truly special. The Ocean View Inn was charming and convenient, with the entire staff very accommodating and welcoming. I’m already planning to returning during the summer. My room was small, but lovely, comfortable, and spotless. I especially appreciated the nice bathroom with all the amenities I needed. I was so happy to find chocolates in the lobby with fresh flowers on the table. The best part was the amazing, abundant breakfast and the sweet, generous server. Hot, cold, sweets, savory—everything you could want to start your day. It would be perfect for families, singles, couples, or anyone looking for a wonderful experience. Locations could not be better. I highly recommend it!

We only stayed for a night, but it was a good night! Danielle checked us in, she was very friendly and gave us a great dinner recommendation. And Abbie cooked breakfast; she provided excellent conversation and made excellent food, and she was very thorough in ensuring we had a full and bountiful buffet!

Enjoyed our stay, place is beautifully done. Room was nice and clean, we had everything we needed. Delicious breakfast served next door on the porch with great ocean view.

Great little B&B (really, pair of B&B's across street from each other). Breakfast was excellent each morning. I hope to return.
