4/10 Fair

Unclean bathroom

Room was fine but bathroom was literally a renovated closet. Very small. Sink was in the room. Shower was old, rust on floor molding and just not clean. Hair in drain, walls had soap slime. I complained the next morning and the person on duty told me it was a new housekeeper. They didn’t offer me a discount at all. Also I paid for an ocean view which was one small window looking out to the side. A porch runs along the front of the house and if someone sits out there (and someone did) they were right outside my room and could see in. So I had to keep shades closed. They charge you a partial fee for beach passes instead of offering them for free. Mediocre breakfast.

Can’t Wait to Visit Again!

The hosts were very polite and welcoming. The room was cozy and the breakfast area was very quaint. My friend and I had the room with a private bathroom. The bathroom was not attached but there were keys for us to use. Breakfast was lovely! Will definitely return!

All the things that matter...The Lilligaard has.

There are a few things I look for while at a shore-town B&B, and I found each of them at The Lillagaard: friendly, helpful staff; a good bed; close to the beach; a hearty breakfast, and a welcoming, comfortable covered porch with the breeze wafting by. I rocked and sipped tea out on the porch, watching the people passing by when I got back from the beautiful beach. Heavenly.

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.
Christine, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I found that the Lillagaard B&B had everything I was looking for and more. The public areas, including living room, dining room and large porches, were beautiful and very well kept. The breakfast was delicious. Our room was very sunny and appealing. The neighborhood was lovely. The owners made every effort to accommodate guests, including providing beach chairs, beach towels and umbrellas; having coffee and tea available all day and night; providing a refrigerator for guests to store food and a microwave for them to heat food, as well as a wine cooler; and providing a welcoming, friendly atmosphere.

This was such a lovely place to stay!! The property is less than a block from the beach, with views from the balcony and beach chairs and towels available to borrow to take to the beach. The breakfast was delicious and freshly made. The vibes were impeccable. I would stay here again and again.

Warmly welcomed. Very close to ocean waves! Cozily decorated. Towels for beach. Lovely garden. Plenty of breakfast set out. No complaints whatsoever.
Cindy, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Nice B&B, 3 min walk to beach. Room was clean. Not a fancy B&B, just a room in an old charming home. Breakfast was ok. Again, not a fancy B&B. The host was so sweet and welcoming. Ocean Grove is a nice quiet town.
Amelia, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great breakfast with lots of choices with a few changes every day. Lots of beach towels and access to discount beach passes. Nice, comfortable living room with huge tv, friendly owner and guests. Room was a bit small.
