This is such cute property and our room had a wonderful view of the marina. Ms. Patty is so sweet. She made us feel comfortable and welcome. She also made a lovely breakfast which we ate while watching the hummingbirds at the feeder. Relaxing and quiet.

A Great Getaway.

We had a great stay at the Inn at Rivers Edge Marina. The rooms were comfortable, clean, and well-maintained. The service was excellent. Breakfast was excellent. The views were beautiful. The location was perfect for day trips to local beaches. A restaurant was within walking distance.

My husband and I enjoyed a relaxing weekend here. We enjoyed sitting on the balcony watching the boats go by. The bedroom and bathroom were cozy and immaculate. The breakfast was delicious. We enjoyed the live entertainment from the restaurants close by. Very peaceful atmosphere and great romantic getaway.

The property was exactly as described. The owners have a marina as well as the B&B and you're staying right on the waterfront. Food was culinary treat and location was central to all I needed to do in the area. Patti was fun and helpful and I felt right at home while visiting my son, daughter-in-law, and grandson in NJ. Jane and Ellie made the stay fun - (the dogs).

Patty makes the best breakfast anyone could ask for and she is so pleasant. The captain’s room was very nice and very clean .The deck outside however needs some repairs. The whole house needs some TLC. Otherwise very pleasant stay!

Quaint, romantic B&B

First off, the host was great. Patty was always available, friendly, and created wonderful breakfasts. The Inn is very clean and comfortable, with firm but top-notch beds. The decor is aging a bit, but that's part of the charm. If you have a choice, pick the Captain's Suite or River View Room... they have views over the river, and are a bit bigger than the Lacey Room on the front of the house. While well kept, the outside of the house could use some paint; especially the back deck.
