“Best B&B in Town”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 October 2011
2
people found this review helpful

The Northwood Inn is a magnificent B&B in Ocean City. It is absolutely beautiful from the outside - especially at night with the lights on. The rooms are wonderful and the roof top jacuzzi is a perfect way to end a day at the beach. John and Marj are both great cooks and the food is delicious. Harry, their little dog is adorable. Both are wonderful hosts. Marj is a great photographer and John has fascinating stories to share from his adventuresome life. And they offer some great amenities like free beach passes and bikes. They are close enough to the beach to be convenient but far enough away from the crowds. I would highly recommend this B&B - it will enhance your stay and experience in Ocean City.

Room Tip: They don't actually have a swimming pool but they do have a great Jaccuzzi.

This was a wonderful experience. The hosts were terrific. The room was beautifu (we stayed in the Magnolia Room). The free bikes were old but servicable. The location was fine.

“Hospitality at its finest with every attention to detail”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 July 2011

person found this review helpful

John and Marj were amazing hosts and went out of their way to make our first visit to Ocean City a truly memorable and welcoming one! The house is an amazing building itself with so much character and the room was beautiful! Breakfasts were delicious and just the right amount during a heat wave! Their poodle, Harry, was adorable too!

We will be back!

“The Perfect Weekend Getaway”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 June 2011
2
people found this review helpful

We were looking for the perfect weekend getaway from NYC and the Northwood Inn delivered on all fronts. The inn was easy to get to and wonderfully quaint, Marj and John were tremendously gracious, and the food was delicious. We particularly loved the opportunity to use the free bikes to ride around on the Boardwalk in the mornings and through the historic downtown strip in the afternoons. The free beach tags made accessing the beach a breeze, and the free beach chairs made it very relaxing. Coming home to the jacuzzi on the roof at night (where you can watch the sun set or the ferris wheel lit up at night) was very memorable, and though we had the smallest room, it was still the perfect size. In all, there is nothing more I could have asked for from the Northwood Inn, nothing I would change, and every reason for us to recommend it to friends and family, alike.

“Summer camp for adults”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 June 2011

What more could you want: bikes, beach tags, towels, and chairs, fresh baked goods and lots of choices for breakfast, warm hospitality by Marj and John, friendly support from their terrific assistants and a deli right down the street on the way to the beach! The inn itself is a great home, the rooms well-appointed, and in an unbeatable location. We will be back!
