Just returned from another amazing long weekend at the Williams Cottage Inn. As always the Inn keepers Betty and Merle were fantastic and welcoming. Location is perfect just steps away from the beach. They literally have everything you need from chairs, towels and even bicycles!! Will be back next year for sure!

I loved my stay at Williams Cottage Inn. From the moment I stepped into the authentic Victorian foyer, I knew I had found something special. Merle and Bette, the managers, made me feel right at home. The rooms are clean, comfortable, well equipped, and authentically Victorian. The porch is wrap around, shaded, and complete with plenty of comfy chairs for sitting, reading, or watching the world go by. You can walk to the beach and restaurants, shops. And breakfast? OMG. Absolutely delicious! I will be back!

The Williams Cottage Inn is an absolute gem!! Bette and Merle run the Inn, and they do everything right, including amazing breakfasts made from scratch. We have stayed in many places in Beach Haven, and this is hands-down the best. Everyone we met at the Inn were returning guests, and now we know why. Thank you Bette and Merle, we will be coming back for sure!

A getaway with my older daughters turned into a perfect trip thanks to Williams Cottage Inn. The Inn is absolutely beautiful old charm, immaculately kept, pleasant staff and Merle and Bette were the perfect Innkeepers! The location is to me the best on LBI and the beach is across the street to a private community. The convenience of the Inn’s amenities was an ease to our trip planning, beach badges, towels, chairs, umbrellas and an outside shower. Plenty of bikes, we took many rides around the Island during our stay. Everything was top quality and in great condition. The rooms are decorated beautifully, warm and inviting, and very clean with luxury linens. The breakfast was delicious, gourmet and plenty of it. We have found our new place to stay at our favorite beach and can’t wait to go back!

We stayed for two nights and enjoyed Bette and Merle's amazing home. They deserve a 5-star review! Their casual hospitality did convince us that their home was also our home for two days. We had booked two rooms, including the dome room, which from the outside looks like a Victorian tower or turret. Rooms were very comfortable and nicely appointed in period style. We were well fed from cookies in the lobby at 3 pm, to a sit-down breakfast extravaganza that featured Merle's famous Hot Mango Chutney. The beach is right across the street and everything we needed such as beach towels, chairs, and umbrellas was provided. When we got back, we took advantage of the outdoor shower. Thank you, Bette and Merle, we will be back!

What a great place! We've been to the Williams Cottage Inn a few times before and continue to return. The building is beautiful inside (and out) and the staff is wonderful. All your beach needs are covered and included (tags, chairs, bag, towels, umbrella, ice) and it's a short walk to the beach. They also have bikes you can use. Each morning you get some good eats to start the day. Really, a legit breakfast! The WCI is a relaxing stay on LBI.

My husband and I found this inn on a whim looking for a last minute weekend getaway. Apparently I did something right because I cannot rave enough about our stay! Merle and Bette are incredible hosts and aside from the accommodations being beautiful and immaculate, the amenities truly make it an incredible value on the island. Beach towels, chairs, bicycles and an amazing served breakfast are all included in your stay, as well as Merle getting you coveted dinner reservations! We cannot wait to return and feel lucky to have found this gem! ❤️

The Williams Cottage Inn is a charming, immaculate, and comfortable B&B. The managers Merle and Bette are dedicated to ensuring that you have everything you need during your stay. It is located a block from the beach and walking distance from wonderful places to eat.

We had a wonderful weekend stay at the Williams Cottage Inn! Everything about our stay was top notch, and we felt like we were staying with family rather than a cold hotel. Merle and Bette were amazing hosts! Merle even ran out immediately to buy several Tommy Bahama umbrellas for us when we told him they were all being used. Service that is over and above! And the breakfasts….. OMG. We didn’t eat again until late in the day. They have every amenity for a perfect beach weekend. All in all, we can’t wait to go back and are sad we had to come home!
