Island Guest House Bed & Breakfast Inn, Beach Haven

It was our first Bed and breakfast, and we woulcn't have asked for anything more! Joanne and Mark were incredibly friendly and hospitable. The location was perfect. Walking distance from anything you could need on the island. The food and service were amazing, as well! Definately a place I recommend for anyone looking for a quiet weekend away, especially with a loved one!

Joanne and Mark cared for us with Kid's Gloves. Really enjoyed everything aspect of our stay.

The Island Guest House is located on a quite street but in walking distance stores and restaurants. Mark and Joanne were more then accommodating and very generous to offer our son a complimentary room when he came down for the day. The rooms were clean and very comfortable! The breakfasts are delicious and very filling. We had a great time and sorry it had to end!!

This Bed and Breakfast was perfect for our family reunion. Cozy quarters, great room service, delicious complementary breakfast, and wonderfully spacious patio for everyone to hang out. The service was outstanding - Joanne and Mark welcomed us with open arms to their establishment and really made us feel like family. This place is also only a few blocks from the beach - very convenient for small store shopping as well. I would definitely go back if I visited LBI again - two thumbs up!

Pleasant staff and owners that sincerely want you to be comfortable and pleased. The guest room and its bathroom were very clean as were the kitchen and common areas. The breakfasts are superb. The atmosphere inside and outside is lovely. My husband and I are well-pleased with Island Guest House and obviously other guests like it too. A number of the guests who were there during the time of our stay turned out to be repeat guests---regulars who appreciate this B & B as much as we now do.

When we pulled up, we said, "this does not look like the picture in the website". Joanne never introduced herself. Every day they have different help, I think the same person who cooks for you, cleans your room, it was awkward. The place and the rooms are dirty! They did not even clean our room one day when we were there, and then they argued with us about it! We paid a little over $200 and it was not worth it at all. We were even more frustrated when we visisted the Sea Shell Resort, a few blocks away, right on the water, and saw a room, much nicer and cleaner than our room, with a fridge and table and chairs too, for $125 a night! We can't understand all of the positive reviews online and wonder if they are legit. We went by these reviews and after staying here, it was such a mystery! We will not be going back.

This place is so welcoming and friendly you'll immediately feel at home. The rooms are clean, individual, charming and cozy, and the staff bend over backwards to make you feel well looked-after. A few minutes' walk away is the beach, which is gorgeous. The other direction is the town, with good eating and drinking (highly recommended: The Chicken or the Egg). I couldn't recommend this place highly enough.

The breakfasts here alone are worth the trip! AND there's delicious cake and home-brewed iced tea every afternoon--just one of the many small details that make The Island Guest House an absolute delight. Fantastic location, just a few short blocks from the beach and a great outside bar with live music. The beach is very clean and quiet--prime spot. Joanne and Mark's hospitality is unsurpassable, and they have selected people to work with who are equally as wonderful. Extremely clean room and house, comfortable temperature, delicious food, easy parking, fantastic company. There's really no other option if you're going to LBI!

With a wonderful location, clean, comfortable rooms and friendly and welcoming proprietors, the Island Guesthouse is a delightful oasis in a sea of nearby strip motels and chain accommodation. Mark and Joanne, along with their lovely daughter Victoria, balance working hard to meet individual guests' needs while respecting the privacy and personal space occasionally too cloying at other Bed and Breakfasts. Breakfast served at the Inn is outstanding, with Joanne carefully supervising preparation and service to insure standards equivalent to finer resorts. In short, the Island Guesthouse is a wonderful destination and sure to please even the most discerning visitor.

Mark and Joanne treat you like family and are very welcoming hosts. Breakfast was lovely and can be eaten inside or outside. The location is ideal for everything, I especially loved walking to Fantasy Island and to the shops nearby. I only saw a few of the rooms and although they are small, they are very clean and this place is reasonably priced. Our room had a semi-private bathroom which was large and always clean. Bed in our room was very comfy. Short walk to the beach and complimentary afternoon snacks ( iced tea and cake) were a welcome treat. This was our first time to LBI and I checked out a few other hotels/B&B's while I was there. Most were way over priced for what you got....Island Guest House is a casual island retreat in a great location, with gracious hosts, and most importantly I found it to be very clean.
