Great stay with my sister and daughter. We had two rooms in the annex. Well run b&b with attentive staff, great location, spotlessly clean, lush beach towels and bikes to use. One block from the beach and a short walk or bike ride to the shopping street. A wonderful place to stay in beautiful Spring Lake!

My wife and I stayed at Ocean House for our anniversary weekend, and loved everything about it. The rooms were great, the inn is fantastic, and the breakfast was delicious. The highlight for us was the hospitality from the staff, especially Jared, who makes you feel at home. This is the perfect place for a relaxing getaway on the Jersey shore. We can’t wait to come back!

My daughter planned a wonderful reunion for myself and her brother who would soon be off to college, at this gorgeous and dreamy inn. It was a glorious four days of wonderful breakfasts, lingering, laughing and reading on the porch and just a block from the beach for our beach fun. Back home in Nashville now, and those days feel like a dream. Thank you for the care and kindness!

Jared and the team at Ocean House are wonderful. We stayed two weeks ago and loved it so much we came back again. The room was great and the amenities (the delicious breakfast(s), complimentary bikes, and beach towels, etc) made our stay perfect. Can’t say enough good things about the Ocean House - Highly recommend!!

We are "regulars" now at The Ocean House and dearly appreciate everything about the accommodations, the service, the friendly staff, and the innkeepers. The porch is grand, peaceful, and comfy. Breakfasts are exceptionally good: homemade, varied, and delicious. Nothing beats the location with views of the ocean and a block to the lake. A five minute walk lands you in the heart of downtown. Charming!
