Review of the Week: The Tower Cottage in Point Pleasant Beach, NJ

April 8, 2011 12:43 by Emily

If you're looking for a romantic luxury inn in Point Pleasant Beach, New Jersey, you've found your spot. The Tower Cottage is a thoroughly restored Queen Anne Victorian inn located in a quiet area just two blocks from the beach. Guest rooms are decorated with an elegant European flair, but they also feature modern amenities such as iPod docking stations and flat-screen TVs.

The following review was left for a stay October 2010.

"Truly unbelievable. Everything was top notch!"
My wife and I stayed here for our wedding weekend. Have you seen their reviews and 5-star Google rating? There is always one person that MUST say something bad about even the greatest places. NOT HERE. The Tower Cottage is what the entire Jersey Shore should be: beautiful, luxurious, accommodating, and traditional. This bed & breakfast is absolutely stunning. From the baseboards to crown moulding, from floor to wall to ceiling, from the bed linens to the bathrooms, from the delicious breakfast to Tony and Maureen's smile. See the history of the Tower Cottage in their remodeling photo album. You'll spend an hour looking and three hours talking about it! This is the epitome of a bed & breakfast and we would recommend it to anyone!
