View from roofdeck

A summer morning brings a hot breakfast on the roof deck, with a crisp view of the Ol' Barney.

Tranquil
ambiance . . .

Verbena, one of Minerva's relaxing rooms.

This family was celebrating their first vacation with their new baby.

Minerva's Bed and Breakfast is:

...at the northern tip of Long Beach Island, an 18-mile-long barrier island off the coast of New Jersey and part of the Jersey Shore.

...a two-block walk from the clean, expansive Barnegat Light beaches.

...two minutes from Barnegat Bay, the perfect place to launch your boat or just watch the sunset.

Minerva's Bed and Breakfast in Barnegat Light

...named for a woman who vacationed in Barnegat Light for more than twenty years, and for her great-granddaughter, who is just discovering the island.

...owned and operated by retired-college-professor Emma Lapsansky and her family, who have lived in many places around the world, and have had more than a decade of experience in the B & B business.

...a converted office building built in 2003 and magically transformed to a Bed & Breakfast in 2007.

...nestled away on a quiet residential block in the tranquil ambiance of the traditional fishing village of Barnegat Light.

...wheelchair accessible.

...a member of the Southern Ocean County Chamber of Commerce, the Professional Association of Innkeepers International, Preferred Inns of New Jersey, the LBI Business Alliance, New Jersey Convention and Visitors' Bureau and the NJ Better Business Bureau.

...a two hour drive from New York City and Philadelphia; forty-five minutes from Atlantic City.

...a four-hour drive from Washington, DC, central Pennsylvania, and Connecticut.

...near to shopping and several excellent restaurants.

...the perfect setting for your family reunion, office retreat, or restful vacation.
