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.

Our room with a view was the perfect place to stay when you are on the Jersey shore.

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.

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.

This is an old-fashioned inn with all the qualities that people have always loved in the best inns: very kind friendly people who run the Inn, wonderful places to relax both outside (a large porch and two other sizable balconies) and inside (lovely common rooms with books and games and a piano and flat screen TV and a beautiful diningroom with coffee and tea available day and night). The breakfast was great, the amenities incredible and rooms comfortable and clean. This Inn is a perfect example of what attention to detail, in terms of comfort, aesthetics, design and civility, can achieve.

Charming B&B with an old English feel. 2 minutes walk to ocean, 10 minutes walk to Main Street restaurants, 20 minutes walk on boardwalk to Asbury Park restaurants. No need for a car. The hotel is old with creaky stairs and classic furniture but everything works, friendly staff, and an on-site ice cream store.

Wonderful getaway. Wish we could have stayed longer :-)

Our stay was okay, except for the multiple fights of steep stairs. The building is a a nicely restored antique with no attention to the needs of folks with mobility issues. The are facilities on 4 different floors. When told about or mobility issues there was no offer made to change our room. The view of the ocean was outstanding. The food was adequate, but not to the scale of a B & B. The room was clean and the bed was cast iron.

The property hosts Kevin and Suzanne were wonderful and were as responsive to us as the Four Season's Hotel staff when things went wrong. They were personable and accommodating and kind.
The B&B was built in 1871 and, despite updates, had the charm and limitations of an old building. It was steps from the beach and a couple of short blocks from Main Street, so very convenient.

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!

My husband and I are both in our 60’s and they gave us a room on the 4th floor There isn’t an elevator so we had to walk up 4flights with our luggage The last flight was very narrow and steep Much to our surprise they told us that we had to share the toilet and shower with another family and that was 1 floor down The pictures of the rooms were nothing like the actual room we didn’t even stay the night We found another place to stay (luckily) so we went to get our luggage and left When we left no one was at the desk or in the vicinity so that we could discuss our issues, so we placed the keys at the desk and left We haven’t received a call or any kind of communication from the owners I don’t know if we can recoup some of our money (since we had to pay to stay elsewear) but the Inn is very deceiving in the photos and we were very disappointed !!!!

Room was smallish but owners utilized space well. Don't drop the soap in the shower. Very interesting place with a rich history brought out by the owners. Front porches (3 levels) were a delight to sit on with a nice breeze and view of the ocean. Definitely would stay there again.

Mom and I had a nice stay at the Lillagaard. Fantastic proximity to the beach. Staff was ultra accommodating. Perfect place to call “home” for a day.

Very enjoyable night getaway solo! I had a small room with a comfortable twin. Private bath. View from top porch is delightful, love the eclectic Victorian style decor, breakfast and good coffee in the morning made the stay feel extra cozy! Walking distance to good restaurants and ice cream shops. I’ll definitely go back.

The owners, Suzanne and Kevin were wonderful. From check in to check out, they explained the property, breakfast, towels, chairs and umbrellas for the beach, everything for a wonderful stay at the beach. The staff were all friendly and helpful. Breakfast was delicious, filling and different items each morning. I will return, made great memories, thank you!

We enjoyed our two night stay. The location was great, the porches are very inviting, and the whole B&B has lots of charm.. The full breakfast was good. Our room was very small, but we managed. On the whole, Ocean Grove was a charming surprise We would be happy to visit again.and would happily stay at The Lillagaard.

Extremely close to the beach. Many stairs, so not for the faint of heart. Beautiful victorian decorated Inn. Staff were very accommodating and helpful. Breakfast included several hot items and a wonderful fruit salad. Complementary beach chairs and umbrellas available. We had a wonderful stay.

Overpriced. Hotel had charm but wasn't in line with the hefty midweek price. Decor very tired and on the cheap side (our room). Nice balcony though and i appreciated the overall quiet of the place. Happy with the breakfast.

if you want a space next to the beach, this can not be beat. the rooms were small and quaint which I really liked compared to flashy places without much character. The owners and staff were also incredibly helpful and friendly.
