For our family gathering the Bellevue Stratford Inn more than filled the bill -- owner Gus was warm and friendly, the rooms had all we needed and were cheerful, comfortable and clean. We gathered on the porches for snacks and shared dinners, enjoyed ocean views over our continental breakfasts, and the beach was only 1/2 block away. The town is... More

My boyfriend and I stayed at the Bellevue Stratford in July and thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Coming from NYC, Ocean Grove is a lovely seaside town to visit, and the Bellevue Stratford is a peaceful and charming place to stay. You can't beat the location...just a few steps from the beach! The Inn was very clean and the staff very... More

My husband and I were looking for a last-minute room for a Saturday night on the shore in July, and the owner was nice enough to let us stay for only one night. The location of this inn is excellent, right near the beach and charming restaurants of Ocean Grove, and a close walk to the hipper Asbury Park boardwalk.... More

We arrived, as Florida travelers, in Ocean Grove on Friday and stayed one night in the Main Street B&B. We did not have any reservation but Gus the Innkeeper gave us a good rate, as he only had two rooms left. We were on the third floor in a clean quaint room with it's own private room. The old inn...

My wife and I, due to her schedule, weren't able to take a full honeymoon right after our wedding in late August, so we opted to do a few nights. We discovered Ocean Grove and found availability at very short notice at the Bellevue Stratford Inn. I saw a few reviewers raise their hackles about Barbara, the innkeeper, but our... More

I planned a last minute overnight stay in Ocean Grove and inquired about a night at the Bellevue Stratford. I spoke several times with Barbara on the phone throughout the week prior to my coming to the Jersey Shore. She was trying to arrange a room at her place but when I arrived the last room was taken! She was... More

The rooms were nice. Our private bath was pretty large. The housekeepers seemed to know exactly when we left and we always came back to a made bed and fresh clean towels. Everything was absolutely spotless and neat. I've read the other reviews about Barbara and the "rules." I believe she has calmed down some since then. We did get... More

We stayed at the Bellevue Stratford with our 4 year old and 6 year old and had a fantastic time. Barbara paid special attention to the kids and the services were above and beyond what you would expect from a B&B. Not only were snacks and drinks available via an honesty box but also freshly laundered beach towels, beach toys,... More
