Property's Favorite Review
We were in LBI for a family wedding. Our stay at The Sand Castle B & B was fabulous. The staff goes above and beyond to make you feel welcome. We requested Gluten Friendly breakfast and they were so accommodating. The Gluten Free cookies on arrival were such a wonderful surprise. Everything was neat and clean. Can’t wait for an opportunity to return again.

Stayed here 3 nights in July and we are still missing those fabulous breakfasts! What a luxury to have a delicious breakfast delivered to your room, at the time of your choice, every morning. Best Eggs Benedict thanks to Nancy's homemade hollandaise! And all the baked treats were really delicious. They were also available in the afternoon and evening with coffee and tea in the beautiful upstairs area. Honestly, the breakfast is so generous, we sometimes finished it for lunch. We appreciated the water cooler just outside our room for refilling our water bottles!
Nancy and her staff really left no stone unturned in making sure that everything was top notch. The room was immaculate and very comfortable; excellent shower; A/C was great. The pool area was beautiful. So nice to have Kubel's right next door for take-out or dining outside (scallops were the best!). The rooftop deck provides great views of the bay, day and night.
This was our first time traveling since the pandemic struck and I have to say that we felt completely safe and at ease with all the precautions that were taken. The other guests and staff were respectful and always wearing a mask in the common indoor areas.
We did drive to the beach a little farther away for easier parking although you could walk to the closer one if you didn't mind a little bit of a hike.
Thank you Nancy, Joe and staff for a wonderful, relaxing trip!!! Hope to return sometime soon!

Beautiful B&B in a great location. My husband and I enjoyed a relaxing weekend during the craziness of the COVID world we are living in. Nancy and her staff went to great lengths making sure everything was cleaned and sanitized. All precautions were taken during these trying times. Breakfast was delicious and the homemade cakes and breads were an added bonus. We will definitely stay there again in the future.

Our Covid protocols were developed after weeks of research prior to opening the end of May 2020. We had training sessions with our staff and have spared no expense to purchase equipment and supplies to keep our property disinfected and sanitized throughout the Covid crisis. Thank you for noticing our efforts and sharing this with the public. And we definitely hope for your return in the future!

Our three night stay at the Sandcastle was above and beyond a usual hotel stay. Our delicious breakfasts were delivered to our deck outside our room each morning per request. The sheets and pillows were so much better than any regular inn or hotel, and quality beach towels were there for our use each day. Bathrobes were provided, which was nice to lounge in after a day at the beach. The rooms and the inn were impeccably cleaned and there are no complaints from our stay. We will stay there next year again. I didn’t have the opportunity to borrow bikes, but beach passes were provided.
Audrey and her husband Brian care deeply that their guests are satisfied and it shows. A huge shout out to them and their staff for the fabulous visit.

My husband and I just spent our anniversary weekend at the Sand Castle. This was our second stay at the B&B and this trip was as great as the last.
The Sand Castle is in Barnegat Light, which is a quieter, more low-key area compared to some other parts of LBI. The inn is within easy walking distance to the beach, restaurants, bars and shops, and is just across the street from the bay. Our porch had a nice view of the boats and was clean and comfortable.
When we weren't at the beach, we lounged in the pool area. It's very relaxing and subdued. Unfortunately, the outdoor hot tub was closed due to COVID, but we hope to enjoy it the next time we visit. The breakfasts are tasty and yummy mid-afternoon treats are offered. My only complaint is that the mattress was uncomfortable - one side was lower than the other. We told Nancy and she said she would look into it.
If you're looking for a romantic getaway, the Sand Castle is a great option. We'll definitely be back.

All I can say is thank you so much for your kind review and for letting me know about the mattress, which was due to the box spring on one side accidentally laid in place upside down after a deep cleaning! If you hadn't told me, I would have had no idea there was an issue. At any rate, it was easily resolved and otherwise, it seems you enjoyed your stay. Our hot tub will reopen next season, as soon as social distancing is no longer a concern. We hope you will continue to enjoy anniversaries at the Sand Castle!

The sandcastle inn is a lovely setting during any time, but it was the perfect retreat during COVID. Beach getting too crowded? Just hang out at the gorgeous pool. Don’t feel comfortable going to restaurants? Take out on the roof deck is all you need. (Especially since Kubels is right next door with seafood, steaks and burgers.) We stayed in the Sunset Suite and it was gorgeous and comfortable. Breakfast was delicious, and I loved the (individually wrapped) tea treats every afternoon. That chocolate cherry cake was delicious! We hope to come back!

Chocolate cherry cake is just one of our special recipes we like to please guests with. Thank you for your thoughts regarding a perfect pandemic retreat! We are hoping that you will return next year......and hoping the pandemic is behind us by then. Then maybe we can be just a "perfect retreat"! Thank you so much!

My husband and I had a delightful time at the Sand Castle B&B. We stayed in the Bay Breeze room on the second floor. It was quiet and beautifully appointed with a comfortable King size bed, plenty of storage, a mini-fridge and microwave, a ceiling fan in addition to the A/C, and a bright, modern bathroom with a large shower and high quality linens. We elected to have the daily towel exchange and the process worked perfectly.
The entire facility was updated and immaculate. The pool was heated and the area had plenty of lounge chairs, a shower and changing room. Every room came with its own pair of beach chairs and umbrella, and we also took advantage of their bicycles. Their roof deck was another pleasant surprise. In the evenings we joined other guests to watch the stunning sunsets over the bay.
The best part of our experience had to be their breakfasts which were huge and satisfying. We started with a choice of juice, a plate of fresh fruit, a baked good (muffins, scones and an extraordinary crumb cake), and a main entrée (blueberry pancakes and sausage, quiche with greens, breakfast quesadillas, bagel caprese), and an extensive coffee and tea bar which was also open throughout the day. We enjoyed making our cappuccino every morning and chatting with Audrey (the Innkeeper) and Stacy. In the afternoon they also had yummy treats available (brownies, cookies, etc.).
We had a wonderful time at the Sand Castle B&B and would highly recommend it to anyone coming to LBI.

Fantastic location! Spectacular gem + wonderful innkeepers!
Every detail has been considered and the thoughtfulness of the innkeepers, Audrey + Brian, are bar none.
Delicious homemade breakfast by a truly-gifted chef, wonderful afternoon pastries- and lovely dining room.
Whether you want to escape to your lovingly-curated room to relax, to the rooftop to oversee the beautiful views, or swim in the cleanest and most divine pool, everything delights! We even took a beautiful bike ride around High Bar Harbor after breakfast.
They think of everything which makes for such a memorable experience!

This was the first time my wife and I stayed at The Sand Castle Bed and Breakfast, and it exceeded our expectations. Our room was immaculate, the delicious breakfast is served in a glass enclosed dining room with views of the bay, and there is a large heated pool surrounded by lounges, chairs, and umbrellas. Audrey (the owner), and her staff were all lovely and accommodating in every way possible. If you’re looking for a place in Barnegat Light, you will not be disappointed with The Sand Castle

Just experienced a wonderful stay at the Sand Castle B&B on LBI. The new inn keepers Audrey and Brian were engaging, accommodating and personally insured their guests needs were met. The Inn's team was also very pleasant, approachable and helpful. The accommodations were excellent and we looked forward to the amazing breakfasts each morning. The ocean beach was welcoming and nearby. When not at the beach we enjoyed using the Inn's bikes to explore the area and relaxed at the heated pool which was always well maintained and inviting. We highly recommend the Inn for some quality R&R. Lisa and Scott
