Guest Reviews

Our Jersey Shore bed and breakfast has gotten some rave revues from our guests enjoying their
Jersey Shore vacations. But don’t take my word for it; just read on...

"Soft patterned light filters through the lace curtains of the ‘White Lilac' bedroom of the White Lilac Inn in Spring Lake, where proposals have been made, marriages consummated and revived, and anniversaries celebrated free from the distraction of kids.

It's a place adults come to be together. Alone.

Journals are placed in each room and guests are invited to write down their thoughts, creating a record, penned in a variety of scripts and languages…"

"Thank you for the most peaceful, wonderful and beautiful getaway weekend Kathy and I have experienced. Our room was perfect, as last year, and you and your staff made this weekend hard to top. Each time we come here we have a new experience. It's like another honeymoon. Carriage ride, walk through town, shopping, and of course, the House Tour. The White Lilac Inn will always be W.L.I.I."

"We will cherish in our memories many of the nuances provided by the White Lilac. It topped the list. The relaxing background music in the parlor, the wind blowing through the lacy curtains as we lay before the fireplace. We could go on and on, but we will close with a sincere thank you for a wonderful stay."

"I realize what the magic is on a summer day…iced tea, lemonade, cookies, the hydrangeas blooming and even the room reminds me of my childhood home. This house is so much like a home away from home, especially having tea in a china cup!"

"The White Lilac is everything that we could hope for in a bed and breakfast…quaint, romantic, serene. The highlight of the stay was coming home from a wonderful dinner to a room full of champagne, flowers, chocolates and diamonds. This is the place where my love and I got engaged. This evening could not be more perfect. I am looking forward to coming back year after year to relive the experience (diamonds are optional!)"

"How soft is the gentle nature we feel in your home. Such comfort and peace that moves through our hearts and minds. We gather tranquil sentiment and solace from the spirit that ebbs and flows within your walls. Ah, to be a part of this wonderful ‘Karma'…Jessica's room has allowed us to escape and the sea and ocean sounds here take us far away…even for a few minutes. We thank you, Mari, for your kindness, courtesy and hospitality always."
