We stayed at The Hideaway in LBI this October and absolutely loved it! The location was peaceful and quiet, and it made for such a nice off-season getaway. The rooms were spotless, comfortable, and beautifully designed with great attention to detail. The staff was welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed. Even with a nor’easter on the way, it was still such a relaxing, cozy stay. We definitely want to come back to explore more when the weather’s on our side!

I almost hate to review because I feel like this is the best kept secret on LBI, although I’m sure it’s not much of a secret anymore. The location was so perfect. very quiet and peaceful , The staff was so cheerful and helpful, the rooms were clean and fresh with comfy beds and hot modern showers, loved going up to the rooftop or just being able to walk out to the beach, absolutely perfect with zero complaints. Can’t wait to return here .!!!! Was just too short .

So pleased to discover this gem at the tip of Beach Haven. Friendly staff, well-kept, updated rooms/baths and although our room was small, we booked one with a deck which added comfortable seating. It was apparent much thought was given to providing comfort and amenities. We felt welcomed and look forward to a return visit.

Lovely boutique hotel at the southern most top of LBI. Located just steps from the beach and Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge. Beach-chic rooms with multiple decks with ocean views. Bike available, coffee cake and coffee in the lobby.

My husband and I had an amazing experience at this hotel. The staff was unbelievably accommodating. Brianna and Bianca went out of their way to make our stay one we will never forget. The room was spotless and the amenities were above and beyond. We received beach passes, bikes and beach chairs during our stay. We will absolutely be back again.

My husband and I stayed for a quick summer trip and plan on returning. The hotel is very clean, quiet, and accommodating. They offer complimentary bikes, beach chairs, and other beach accessories. They are located right across from the beach. Complimentary coffee and delicious crumb cake each morning. Staff was welcoming and helpful. Excellent place to stay!

We had a short stay of only 2 nights and honestly, this was one of our favorite places that we've stayed so far. Our room was stylish and above all immaculately clean. The staff were super friendly, polite and so accommodating. Five stars are not enough for hotel and, to boot, its directly across street from the beach. Highly recommend!

Great gateway spot and a true hideout! Loved the free coffee and crumble cake. Staff are super friendly and welcoming. There’s a nice patio to hang out, plus a common terrace and another patio facing the beach — perfect for relaxing with the view.
