Seascape Manor Bed & Breakfast

You guys are nuts who rate this a 1 star! We have stayed at this B&B for I believe 7 straight summers and about to book our 8th stay. Nothing is always perfect anywhere in this world including at this B&B but it's pretty darn close! We would never consider staying anywhere else in the area and neither would so many others like us who return every year.

October 2010 Totally NOT qualified to be a bed & breakfast!! They should close the doors to the public for renovations, maintenance and taking out the excess junk. It is very difficult to find the place - the easement to the property is through the high school parking lot. If you want to go stay at Granny's in a guest room it's okey. The place lacks taste in decor, smells of dogs, dusty and cramped with no staff/workers in sight. Just one sweet woman there having to carry the whole burden. The website is very deceptive and I highly resented having to pay for false advertising of the place. This BnB is 20 years behind in upkeep. How did you ever get listed?

My husband and I attempted to stay at this B&B for our 5th wedding anniversary. We were excited because this is one of the few B&Bs in New Jersey that allows dogs. We were running about 30 minutes late and called ahead to advise the innkeeper, but there was no answer. When we arrived (after driving literally through a school parking lot) there was no one there. We rang the bell, called several times, walked around the property and no one would let us in. We peeked into the office which opened into the kitchen and I became concerrned. The office was a wreck and the kitchen was a disaster. There were cats walking on the counter and I am not certain if it had been cleaned. I decided not to worry and make the best of it. We have 3 cats and a dog and I understand that some times with animals you just have to let things go. After about 45 minutes of sitting in our car and periodically ringing the front door bell a woman appeared. This woman was missing some teeth and her remaining teeth were grey. She graciously showed us around the house. Our room was the Amish room. The bathroom for this room which we were told was an adjoining bathroom is not actually adjoining. A half wall was built in the hallway to link the bathroom with the bedroom. It is not private and very awkward. When we got into the room there was no air conditioner on and I told my husband that since it was humid we should turn it on. I looked inside the air conditioner (it was a window unit) and I saw black mold. I told my husband that I did not think we should turn it on. My husband said it would be fine. I turned it on and within 10 minutes my husband began wheezing, his face turned red, and he said he was very tired. We decided to leave to get some fresh air. After approximately one hour we returned. Within 5 minutes my husband couldn't breath. I did not want to spend our anniversary night in the hospital so we packed up and left. Not only did we never see the inn keeper, but we were then charged for our stay ($229) and we were there a total of possibly 2 hours (almost 1 hour in the car waiting for someone to let us in). We aren't picky people and we stay at B&Bs and hotels and have never had an experience like this. This is not an exaggeration. We don't stay at 5 star hotels, we have traveled in Mexico, Dominican Republic, Costa Rica, Belize, Cypress, France, England, Ireland, Italy, Germany, Kenya, and Tanzania and have had better experiences sleeping in a tent. I would not ever recommend this B&B to anyone.
