We knew we were in a welcoming environment as soon as we were greeted by Bette upon arrival, who was in the kitchen baking cookies. She and Merle exude their Midwestern friendliness and hospitality that we only experience when visiting family and friends in Iowa. (They are from South Dakota). We almost forgot we were still in New Jersey. Everyone... More

Bette and Merle are so generous and truly make you feel at home in their remarkable house. We stayed in the Asian room and absolutely loved the steam bath and the asian tub. The... More

My boyfriend and I recently stayed at the Williams Cottage Inn and couldn't have been happier with our stay. The restored Victorian home was absolutely stunning and beautifully kept! Bette and Mearle, the inn keepers were amazing, as they made our stay very pleasurable. More

This was our first time staying in a B&B, and it was fabulous!! We stayed in the Dome room, which was gorgeous. Merle and Bette are wonderful, and went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. They have every amenity you can think of, so their guests can relax and enjoy. The house is beautiful and meticulously kept. The... More

What a lovely short stay! We lucked out an found a freak vacancy on the 4th of July at Williams Cottage. In just one night we fell in love with the place. Bette and Merle couldn't have done a better job of showing us around the inn, making sure our dietetic needs were met, chatting when we wanting to, leaving... More

Inn Keepers Bette & Merle could write the book on B&B perfection, from the moment you step on to the century old porch & bite into a home made cookie you know it's going to be AMAZING... every detail has been thought of; beach chairs, towels, umbrellas, bicycles... can go on & on... LBI is wonderful & The Williams Cottage... More

This has been our third trip to Williams Cottage Inn over the last year or so. My wife and I went there to celebrate our wedding anniversary. The minute we walked in the front door we felt right at home and totally relaxed. The Innkeepers, Bette & Merle, welcomed us with fresh baked cookies and tea and coffee. Bette and... More

Though we arrived at night, we were greeted like good friends and shown around. The room had a beautiful view of the ocean 50 yards away! Breakfast was unbelievable and personally served. Vegan choices were easily incorporated into our meal. Bette & Merle were wonderful hosts. The weekend was relaxing and indulgent. I would recommend William Cottage Inn to anyone.... More
