Plus another entrance to a common balcony w a view of the ocean head on. The kindest family run business! Angie, Lala, Chris, Grandpa were all very kind & went out of there way to make your time there special. They always had candy in a bowl when we'd arrive back "home" in the evening. We had 2 refrigerators, 2 sinks & a most comfortable 4 poster stunning bed. Lots of towels to use. And they offered beach passes at a great disct vs paying on the beach. You can't use a scooter in Ocean Grove but you can in Asbury Park. Tho everyone rides bikes in O.G. If u want to RENT a bike, go to the Hardware Store on Main St, right off Atlantic Ave. It's a fabulous way to ride thru all the little towns. Also, the walk to the water wasn't that far from the Hotel. Which by the way has tremendous history as does so many of the towns & buildings. We stopped at Miss Elli for the most fabulous jewelry & hats & all things fabulous! The Balingdon B&B was astounding dinghy! They overnited our charger! I hurt my ankle & they went above & beyond!

It has a nice front porch, a backyard that looks over a pond, and is situated close to the beach (Union Ave beach entrance). The exchange students who maintain this property are nice lads, and do a fine job making breakfast every day. My only criticism is that this place could really use a facelift - could be amazing with some more modern furniture, and without carpets in the guest rooms.

Celtie loved life and brought so much to our lives. We needed to smell that ocean air, feel that warm ocean breeze across our faces... and reflect on our life together with Celtie... those 'special memories' of Celtie with us ~ at the seashore! Staying at the Shawmont Hotel, with that beautiful view of the ocean, was so peaceful. Joanna, the manager, efficiently had everything in place for us and her staff are wonderful people. Susan, who is such a beautiful person. Lisa, who has such compassion for people who have experienced a great loss with a loving pet, offered us a site to go on to for healing: Rainbow Bridge. It is a beautiful site and is indeed helping us. Katherine, Eileen, the night manager, and anyone who sits at that front desk is a joy to speak with. We also would like to commend their helpful and extremely friendly housekeeping staff. We'll be returning in August and look forward to another pleasant vacation. The Shawmont Hotel is not only a beautiful setting with an ocean view... it's filled with wonderful people who care about your stay. Marianne and William Bird (Celtie's mom and dad) Nutley, NJ

Stairs should be banned by OSHA - Extremely steep and unsafe with strange or non-existant handrails. TV at 90 degree angle to bed - no way to watch while you are in bed.

Not to mention the special band-aids when he got cut... and 100 other kid friendly moments. The four stories of this beautiful old mansion look right over the ocean. As in, you can throw a ball into the ocean from your room. Pluses - tons of little amenities. Plenty of towels, basket downstairs of shampoo/towels for post-beach shower even after check out, small library , fun and funky art on walls, laid-back and young, fun staff; dog Roscoe who hangs out, 100 nooks and crannies, both indoors and out, to hang out. Yogurts, various pastries and coffee/juice included. Towels for beach and big quilts if you want them. Just a great wraparound service place at the beach. The air conditioner is ice cold for those who need it, and they have a cool system where you put a little cap into the vent and you can block the air as well. Easy! Cons- The bed was not awful, but one of the less comfortable beds I've slept on in a lodging I've paid for. Also, no bathtubs. But I didn't ask. Oh, and if you go on Sunday, be aware that in this believin' town, the beaches are closed til post-worship 12:30 pm. Next time, I'd book earlier, skip the ocean view, and get the room with shared bath- that would be a real steal at the Ocean Vista! Will be back...

In my experience, the room was not safe due to this issue. We did not feel comfortable staying overnight and left early as a result.

Stay here at your own risk.
