The Windward made our tern daughter and her 4 friends Memorial Day weekend spectacular. We were steps from the beach and less than half mile from all the action - shopping, food and fun. Our room was exactly like the photos - everyone had space to sleep, we had a fully stocked kitchen and the outdoor space we could access before and after our stay allowed us to pack in two days worth of fun with a one night reservation. I highly recommend if you are looking for a great beach stay.

I got lucky and booked a small studio, last minute for Labor Day weekend. If you're looking for a true beach experience give them a try. My room was clean, cozy & quiet. Staff was super friendly and attentive. Location is perfect...just a block from the beach and walkable to tons of restaurants, bars & shopping.

We stayed in July for three nights and had a great trip! We were able to use the beach chairs they provided as well as the outdoor showers which made life a lot easier! Quiet and clean room to the side of the building, excellent location (super close to the beach, restaurants and shopping.) Some reviews mentioned the beds weren't the most comfortable, but for three nights it was fine. Will definitely stay again in the future; the owners were very friendly and helpful as well!

There is something special about Windward! First of all, the owners are lovely people and David and his team work extra hard to ensure a memorable experience! The feel of the place is just a good old fashioned beach boarding house with all the modern amenities you'd expect. Also included in our stay were beach tags and chairs! And coffee available at all times...certainly enjoyed my morning cup sitting at the outdoor tables and watching the world go by. Awesome! Secondly, the house itself is just adorable...we smiled the minute we walked in. Great decor and the enclosed porch is such a bonus with games and books for all ages. Last but not least, the location cannot be beat....literally steps from the beach! That itself was worth the price of admission however throw in the amazing owners and staff and the sheer cuteness of Windward and it was a win win all around!! Walkable to EVERYTHING yet out of the nearby fray of Fantasy Island and Bay Village. We left Windward relaxed and happy. What more can you ask for?! We will be back for sure - I can't imagine staying anyplace else now!!…

Windward at the Beach is a wonderful place where you can immediately feel like you're on vacation mode. As soon as you walk in, you are greeting by the wonderful hosts who takes pride in their business. Rooms are clean, common areas are maintained very well, they have beautiful sheets and well appointed decorations. We even had dinner with friends outdoor in their new outdoor seating! You can feel that the owners are doing their best to make sure every guest are happy with their services. They have renovated the place while keeping the quaint feel of this historical gem! Highly recommended!

Around the corner from the beach, the Windward sits in the best location, in Beach Haven. The owner, his family and staff take much pride in making sure the guests are happy and comfortable and they keep the Windward meticulously clean. They are very kind and whenever you see the owner, he has a pleasant greeting and asks if you need anything. If vacationing with young children, there is a lovely lobby with books and toys. There are also enough beach chairs to accomodate all guests and beach passes. The Keurig, with a large variety of coffee pods is available all day, which was great! Kudos to David and his staff!

The people running the hotel are friendly and helpful. It is an old style early 20th century house containing an inn/hotel with ten rooms, a surrounding porch and inner rooms for guests as well as the basics, but most especially a quiet place to enjoy. Crossing the street you will find yourself heading either to the beach, a park, or any of the other places to experience. This is a great location to be in Beach Haven, LBI, so when you get here relax.

I was pleasantly surprised when we first entered Windward hotel. It was very clean, cozy and cute. Perfect location - not even a block from the beach. Complimentary chairs and toys for the kids were very convenient(saved us some space in the car.) We stayed in Rm 2, where 6 people can sleep comfortably. Even though, our room had a very small bathroom with a tiny shower, we showered outside most of the time anyways(2outside showers.)We loved unlimited complimentary coffee and tea. There was always someone around to assist us with whatever we needed. Owners and their employees are very friendly and helpful. Thank you David and his crew for our memorable stay. Looking forward to seeing you soon. Irina

I can’t say enough wonderful things about the Windward! The family and staff who own and operate the hotel are incredible! We came as two couples and stayed in rooms 4 & 5 - these beautifully renovated rooms provided everything that we needed (and more), and we had a shared porch and patio with a grill! Don’t hesitate to book - this is truly the best place in town! Can’t hardly wait to come back.
