Tandem Bike Inn

Our first stay was back in 2021 (see review "Wonderful getaway during COVID pandemic!!") and we enjoyed two other stays that year. It was so nice to spend another weekend at Mike and Anne Marie's place, especially after continuing to work from home the last couple of years. The breakfast that was served in the dining area was excellent, with "appetizers" of freshly baked scones or muffins, along with fresh fruit and/or yogurt and granola, followed by a hot main course that was a meal in itself!! We enjoyed walking it off by visiting some of the nearby shops along Main Street.

This place is extremely clean. The house is tastefully decorated the breakfast is very nice (I wanted the recipe for the baked French toast) and the hosts are very welcoming.

I can’t say I “didn’t like” anything. It would be nice if they had more snacks homemade items out beverages when guests arrive, that would be a nice touch. The cookie in the room was good though. Also it would be nice to offer 2 options for breakfast if someone wanted eggs or savory foods.

I wouldn’t stay anywhere else in Belmar. The Inn is beautiful and clean and the bed is very comfortable. The whole vibe is homey and relaxed, which creates a friendly rapport between guests. The owners are passionate about good hospitality. They provide access to the beach, bikes, chairs, everything to make your stay a good one. And the cooking? Absolutely delish. The blueberry pancakes were chock full of fresh blueberries. There are so many extra touches here that define why staying at an inn, particularly this inn, far surpasses any hotel and sets this style of hospitality apart from any other.

Mike and Anne are superb hosts. We were warmly greeted at the door and given a very spacious room with the amenities we requested. The breakfast was above and beyond and the jacuzzi and warm fireplace made our stay during an unusual Jersey Shore snowstorm extremely comfortable and cozy. Not only were they able to accommodate us an extra day, Mike and Anne went beyond to ensure we had everything we needed upon arrival. The B&B was extremely clean and organized and felt like home and family during our entire weekend stay. Thank you so much for making my wife's birthday memorable with the beautiful red roses and champagne/chocolates! We are excited and look forward to our next bike getaway this summer on the Shore!

we loved everything.

Breakfast was excellent: great food enjoyed on the porch. We found especially charming the owners’ grandkids who helped out in serving. We also loved the use of bikes, which were included in the stay. We did not take advantage of other included features, such as beach tags, towels, etc. The owners were friendly and helpful.

Nothing! There were no negatives.

The accommodations were excellent; However, even better were the people who own and care for the place. They were kind and went out of their way to make us feel at home and add the extra special kindness to us during our stay.

The steps were tough for my wife. We were on the third floor, but that is the nature of the building since it is three floors. We fully expected that, given the nature of the building. That was a minor problem having nothing to do with the staff or the establishment.

Mike and Ann Marie were such gracious hosts. They went above and beyond to make our stay pleasurable and fun. Breakfast was absolutely delish. We enjoyed very much our ride on a tandem bike. Mike even gave us directions on how to avoid a lot of traffic. Also the room was clean and tidy with everything we could possibly need. The bed was very comfortable too. We would highly recommend this bed and breakfast for any couple looking to get away!!

Nothing.

Firstly the Inn is a beautiful building, situated a 10 minute walk from the beach and closer to many amazing restaurants. Mike and Anne Marie were incredibly welcoming and helpful as when we got there Mike showed us everything we would need to know about our stay. From a crash course on how to use the front door and jacuzzi to letting us borrow beach tags, chairs, and everything else we could need for a beach day he took care of us in a quick and concise manner. The room was absolutely beautiful and the bed was beyond comfortable, I wish we could have stayed all summer! In the morning they delivered to our door incredible homemade apple scones with fresh fruit and water (just one breakfast option) and were so nice and caring as we left. We are looking forward to staying at the Tandem Bike Inn again!

Honestly nothing

Everything was very nice and clean. Breakfast was delicious. Ann Marie and Mike are very friendly and do all they can to make your stay unforgettable. My room had a jacuzzi, which I loved. They have bikes and on-site as well as street parking. Restaurants very close by. Will be back!!!!!!

Beautiful and immaculate inn that feels like home in a fantastic location. Very friendly and helpful hosts with excellent breakfasts. I highly recommend this inn and will return. You can walk to the beach as well as walk to all the great restaurants in Belmar!
