“This house was great!!! The beach was beautiful. We will always remember this vacation. Thank you !!!

“This was our 1st summer vacation in Bay Head. Previously we’ve stayed in Point Pleasant Beach on a populated street. It was an absolute dream to be in a quieter region. It provided the true rest that many of us deserved. Also, the variety of rooms of this grandiose home allowed for solitude or quieter time. The children had a fabulous time navigating the many halls and rooms. The extra space was a major plus. Then the fireworks display allowed us to view from the 2 different balconies facing Bridge Avenue without the trouble of stepping out. To summarize it best, we had a spectacular time as a family under one roof, your roof. Thanks so very much!

The Bay Head House recommends Dorcas' of Bay Head

An established Bay Head staple, Dorcas of Bay Head was founded in 1965 by Dorcas Cotsworth and made into the sidewalk/cafe restaurant that it continues to be today. From 1925 until 1965 it was a rooming house called The Clover Cottage. Since its inception, it has been considered a charming place to dine.

Great indoor and open air restaurant for breakfast and lunch and also don’t miss the ice cream parlor.  A Bay Head must! Check out Dorcas’ selection by clicking here.
