My friend and I stayed there over the 4th of July weekend. We found it to have nice style and decor. It was a pretty clean place. One of my few problems was that the continental breakfast sucked. All it had were supermarket mini pastries, coffee, and juice. Our only other problem was that during our stay, The owners family... More

We had a very nice basement apartment room with refrigerator, microwave.and a separate entrance. The hotel is oceanfront and although we could not see the ocean from our room, it was terrific being able to come and go privately and the room was comfortable and large, although, you can hear nightly coming and goings above your head, so this is...

Ocean Grove NJ has many hotels and many of them are heavy on Victoriana period decoration. The Ocean Vista is not one of them. The hotel is simple, uncluttered, and comfortable. The staff and owners are friendly and down-to-earth, including their dog, Roscoe. The hotel faces the beach, and what morning views you get from the porches! The coffee is... More

We have been coming to the Ocean Vista ever since their second summer of operation, and even if we only manage one weekend, we can't imagine a summer without a stay there. Warm, welcoming, and friendly, the Vista owners and staff are just the greatest. Pete and Diane have put so much love and care into this hotel. But the... More

My family goes to Ocean Grove every year. For the past six years we have stayed at the Ocean Vista. The owners are very nice. Roscoe is fun to have around. I have three kids who can get loud or crazy. Never once have we ever felt we didn't belong there. The kids can grab a little breakfast before heading... More

First, the pluses: ocean front location, clean, comfortable bed, friendly staff, good coffee, AC. Minuses: double-bed room barely large enough for one person to walk around the bed. The smallest hotel bathroom sink I have ever seen. NO amenities: Dial soap, no tissues, no hospitality touches. Continental b'fast consisted of supermarket products. The excellent local bakery saved us! We expected... More

My parents live in Ocean Grove so I've been going there for several decades. This summer my parents are having major work done on the house so I decided to try out a B&B. Our room had two rooms -- one with a Queen and one with two doubles. It was perfect as I was traveling with two friends. There... More

We (Linda, Brian, Morgan, Little John, Anais and John) loved the Vista more than any other place we have ever stayed in Ocean Grove. I have been visiting Ocean Grove for more than 20 years with my children and now with my grandchildren. The Vista owners and their family members including the dog are just wonderful!. It is everything you... More

The Ocean Vista Hotel is a very nice place to stay. It is a family run hotel filled with friendly people, guests and staff alike. It is right on the beach and near Main Ave where all the nice shops and restaurants are located. If you are looking for a quiet get away I don't think this is the place... More
