Carisbrooke Inn Bed & Breakfast

Updated rooms, helpful staff, generous meals at the cafe. Beach chairs & towels. Walk a few steps to beautiful boardwalk, bike rental, restaurants, library, pickleball, playground, Wawa. Ventnor is perfect. Happiness for our family ages 6 - 75 from Maryland and California. Thank you John & Agnes, we cannot wait to return soon.

This is a great bed and breakfast for a quiet couples getaway. We stayed during the slow season and we had the place to ourselves. The service was excellent and the breakfast was amazing! Also the ice cream 😋 The hosts were very attentive to our needs.

Staying at Carisbrook Inn was a last minute decision. It's now on our list of places we'd like to come back to for a longer visit. We stayed on the ground floor in a room with a king bed, antique furniture and access to it's own deck. The bed/pillows were very comfortable. The inn provided beach chairs, beach towels and you can check out beach badges. Access to the beach was one block down the street. The breakfast is a little different from other places we've stayed. You go down the street to a local cafe and order from a set menu. There were a large range of choices and the food was delicious. My favorite part may have been that you also get a small ice cream from the same cafe in the afternoon. I do think that if you have mobility issues this would be a challenging place to stay. The parking is about a block away, the breakfast is half a block away and there are stairs into the building.

My partner and I stayed 3 nights in Room 3 (first floor, queen bed, private bathroom) and it was exactly what we hoped for. We're always looking for nice LGBTQ+ friendly travel options and this was one of the ones we read about. The bed was so comfortable, the room was actually larger than I expected for a B&B, the wifi strong, the A/C strong, the location perfect, the parking spot appreciated. Restaurants, shops, and beach access are right there and walkable. We loved the included breakfast at North Beach Cafe, and the convenience of beach chairs the inn provides. You can also get beach permits at the cafe ($25 per person) and get a refund when you return them. The self checkin and checkout was also really convenient. There are homemade cookies in the living room that I had to drag my partner away from one night. The room was also (surprisingly) quiet - we didn't hear anyone else on property (hopefully we weren't the loud ones!). There are a few things that could have made the trip even better for us: the shower pressure was so strong, it was actually painful (it feels weird complaining about strong shower pressure, when I know it's better than no shower pressure); the freebies in the welcome letter - beach towels, water bottles - were always depleted (we got 1 beach towel and 2 bottles of water over the 3 nights we were there because the inventory was empty); the afternoon wine and refreshment hour a lot of people mention in the reviews doesn't appear to be a thing anymore - we would have loved that! Overall, we had a really great time, would stay again, and would highly recommend!

The room was small, but clean. And, great amenities: a wonderful breakfast at the North Beach Cafe, ice cream treat in the afternoon, bottled water, a half block from the beach, and beach chairs. People working there are very nice. I definitely recommend it!!

Beautiful Ventnor Boardwalk. Lovely at dawn, lovely each evening of the year. Miles and miles of sparkling clean beach, beautiful homes, beautiful quiet shore community. Excellent staff at Carisbrooke.
