The restaurant downstairs was next level--seriously some of the best food I've had in a long time. The room was spotless, comfortable, and really well done. But the real star was the view--an unreal water view that made the whole stay feel like something special. I'd come back here in a heartbeat.

This is a great hotel with excellent staff and the North Suite was a highlight despite some quirks…read more We stayed at The Oyster Point Hotel over Christmas while visiting family and had a very positive overall experience, even with a few hiccups along the way. The front desk staff was professional and courteous. One young man was clearly in training, and the young woman guiding him was extremely knowledgeable and polite which to me was a great example of mentorship done right. Unfortunately, our original room had a heater that was rattling loudly and had pooled water on top of it, which I recorded and showed to the front desk. To their credit, maintenance responded quickly, and the technician was friendly, professional, and even helped move my luggage. He brought us keys to a new room, and the front desk upgraded us to the North Suite, which was an incredibly thoughtful gesture. The North Suite was fantastic with a large space with a massive balcony and beautiful views, along with a comfortable seating area outside. Sadly, due to the season, it was too cold to enjoy the balcony, but we appreciated the feature. That said, the suite wasn't perfect: The shower area was oddly dark, with little lighting. There was no air vent in the bathroom, which seemed unusual. The sink was smaller than the one in the standard suite. Neither of the two TVs worked, though I didn't want to complain during the stay and just mentioned it at checkout. The bathroom door didn't latch, which was a minor but noticeable issue. The smoke detector is missing from the ceiling, which gave me pause. Despite those flaws, the service and staff stood out. I witnessed two bar employees being rudely berated by guests over late food (which obviously wasn't their fault), and they handled the situation with professionalism and calm. I was so impressed by their professionalism under pressure (and so thoroughly disgusted by that table of senior citizens who should know better than to act that way) that I tipped each of them $50 each on top of our drink tab to make up for how poorly they were treated. Speaking of which, the bar area is a wonderful little spot, with friendly staff and the occasional live music, making it a fun place to unwind without leaving the hotel. The cocktails are excellent as well. This hotel has long been our go-to when in town, and while there were a few issues this time, the staff's attentiveness and care truly made the experience special. We're already looking forward to our return in 2026. TIP: Be mindful of where you park! The handicap parking is limited, and one of the spaces is under a tree that's heavily populated with birds. Our car was completely covered in bird droppings. I mean absolutely covered. Avoid that spot if you can.

UPDATE! We Loved our stay at the SummerHouse Highlands. This is our 2nd time here at the…read moreSummerHouse and it was just as good as the last. What sold us both times is primarily the location, It is located 3 blocks from the bayshore, (Miller Street Beach) 1 block to the Ice Cream Parlor, 2 Blocks to the Harmin Gas Station/ Convience store (Formally Cumberland Farms) and 2 blocks to the Bay liquor store. It is also really close to Veterans Park as well. They recently updated all cottages, installing roofs over all front porches, new courtyard seating, fire pit and Fountain! We stayed in cottage G this time instead of J because cottages I, G and H feature an extra twin daybed which was nice. If in the highlands nj or Monmouth county area and want a cool cottage like experience with a quint feel and with a good location than I HIGHLY recommend The SummerHouse!

I'd give this hotel a 2.5. Blue Bay Inn was a beautiful hotel with clean rooms and located in a…read morenice part of town within walking distance of the water. We stayed in the king suite which was decently spacious. The hotel overall was cute but I wouldn't say it was as antique as it advertised. Having said all that we were disappointed with the price which was $200+ per night for a cool weekend in early October (i.e. not the busy summer season). The tv in the room was finicky and was pretty old. The available tv channels were so-so. There wasn't any breakfast served in the morning unless you wanted to pay at the restaurant down stairs. The wifi was impressively slow. The bathroom looked like every other hotel bathroom I've ever seen. Their phones were down the entire weekend so we had to walk downstairs if we needed to talk to somebody. They did serve coffee in the morning but it was the basic Keurig coffee. Again we liked the hotel, but after some discussion we thought 100-150 per night would have been more reasonable.

The room was very clean, had a very comfortable bed, and the staff was extremely helpful and friendly. The room had a very clean bathroom, supplied with shampoo, conditioner, soap and all the towels you need. My room included a desk, tv in the armoise with three large drawers for clothes. In the closet, there was an extra blanket, iron and iron table and suitcase holder. I enjoyed the free water, apples, tea and coffee in the lobby. Room service was terrific and the lobby manager called me once because I set a do-not-disturb and asked if I still wanted room service. The staff throughout the entire week greeted me and were very friendly. I am looking forward to visiting Atlantic Highlands, NJ again and to stay here.

Everything is made for each guest perfectly ( the rooms, breakfasts, beach passes, etc). Most people there have been going for years because it's so nice. I do have to say though that if you are allergic to cats you may need to consider another place. Pets are allowed there and they have a lot of cats. There are 4 beautiful rooms with 3 of them having excellent views and 2 with balconies and 1 with a little porch. Sunrises are Amazing too.

As someone that has stayed here since my wedding night, with many times there after, I can safely…read moresay that this establishment has gone from a five star bed and breakfast to one that is coasting by. With our last stay (my weekend birthday gift to my husband) started out with seeing water stains above the staircase and the ever present smell of cat urine which apparently came from the many (eight we were told) cats that roam around. The room was very comfortable and romantic as always but chilly as the doors leading out to the balcony are old and in need of updating with newer weatherproof ones. The toilet dripping constantly was annoying but nothing to complain about but the breakfast area was cold and crammed with the door being left open so that the cats could come and go and stepping in their poop on the floor wasn't the start of how breakfast that was always our shining start of the day should be. All in all, much has decreased with the Seascape much to our regret.

So walking in you are met with Victorian style decor that is stunning in its own right. The owner met us at the door , giving us a run down of the amenities and the local sights and food. Breakfast was included and they don't hold back , we had eggs on a cloud the first morning which is an interesting play on eggs Benedict. We went to our room and saw a similar style the bathroom was huge , staying on there with the Victorian beach home theme. Tips: 1. I wouldn't recommend coming with children 2. This place is made for R+R it's calming and refreshing not really a party central. 3. Tons to do in the area read up before going or you will feel overwhelmed! She gives you a guide when you walk in but , the town is catered to going out so you have tons to choose from. 4. Extra pillows are in the closet. 5. You are super close to the beach! Pack a bathing suit if the weather calls for it.
