Absolutely gourmet. Surprised by a breakfast 'appetizer', which was just a teaser for what followed. Enjoyed a nice conversation with fellow travelers on the wrap-around porch. Borrowed a tandem bike. Host prepared us appropriately (his dry humor was a bonus) and we thoroughly enjoyed our ride to the beach, where we also checked out a restaurant and ultimately dined.

The common areas and the room were comfortable and clean. Every detail was covered. The breakfast was delicious and gourmet. The location is good and the environment was very quite and peaceful, ideal to rest.

The police of not cleaning up the room for security reasons was inconvenient for a 8 night’s stay. A bike rack would have been ideal for parking our bikes. Drawers and a closets were needed. We did not have room enough to leave our personal belongings and clothes.

Attentive owners, impeccable accommodations, outstanding breakfast

Nothing

Welcoming, comfortable, friendly, spacious, impeccably maintained and spotless. Wraparound porch with seating and the common area is very nice for just hanging out and reading. Ann and Mike are gracious hosts. Breakfast was very special and all homemade. Thank you Our room was a quiet retreat. And the area is close to restaurants and bars. Beach is a short 2 minute drive with plenty of parking available. We read previous reviews and saw very high reviews. We were lucky to get a reservation on our special weekend. Next time we will book early.

All positive things to report

Dedra was very helpful in giving me breakfast half an hour earlier than advertised. Very neat and tidy.

I'd like to have had clean towels every third day. I'd like to have been able to phone the owners directly instead of having to email Booking. com

Flying in to Newark, taking the train to Belmar, and then walking the quaint neighborhood to the Inn was easy. We're already missing our delicious breakfast, the fun bikes and inviting front porch-Cord & Dedra's creative hospitality kept us smiling throughout our stay. Free beach badges was a great bonus!!!

Can't think of a thing!!!!!

Our first stay was back in 2021 (see review "Wonderful getaway during COVID pandemic!!") and we enjoyed two other stays that year. It was so nice to spend another weekend at Mike and Anne Marie's place, especially after continuing to work from home the last couple of years. The breakfast that was served in the dining area was excellent, with "appetizers" of freshly baked scones or muffins, along with fresh fruit and/or yogurt and granola, followed by a hot main course that was a meal in itself!! We enjoyed walking it off by visiting some of the nearby shops along Main Street.

This place is extremely clean. The house is tastefully decorated the breakfast is very nice (I wanted the recipe for the baked French toast) and the hosts are very welcoming.

I can’t say I “didn’t like” anything. It would be nice if they had more snacks homemade items out beverages when guests arrive, that would be a nice touch. The cookie in the room was good though. Also it would be nice to offer 2 options for breakfast if someone wanted eggs or savory foods.

The best thing about staying at this location were the owners. They were very warm and accommodating, and the facility was spotless. The breakfast was very gourmet.

There was nothing we didn’t like about the property

We truly love being at the Tandem Bike inn. This is our third stay since May and we plan to visit Dedra and Cord again before for end of the year. We recommend the Tandem Bike inn to all of our friends and family.

Leaving!
