Relaxing Retreat Center in NJ
We are proud to offer many great amenities to all of the guests who stay with us. Each room is complete with a private bath, a TV with cable, a DVD player, and a refrigerator. And if the weather is nice, you can take advantage of some complementary beach passes!
Minerva's has a lobby area that has a full-size fridge for you to pick and choose some goodies and snacks. With this fridge, you can also chill that bottle of wine you're planning to take with you to supper or down to the beach. Our lobby area also has comfy seating, a perennial jigsaw puzzle, chess, and myriad flyers and announcements of things to do in the community.
And what better way to relax in New Jersey than in a library! Our library, which is on the second floor, offers up something for everyone! Games, children's toys, and all the books you can imagine! Okay, maybe you can imagine a lot, but we assure you there is a book for you!
Our Promise
We offer a variety of healthy food options that can be catered to respond to your dietary needs (gluten-free, vegan, dairy free, etc.). So you can enjoy the meal you want without worrying about any restrictions.
After you eat, you can choose from a number of fun and relaxing activities. From a walk to the beach, to reading on the deck. Relax on your own terms! And from time to time, we offer affordable "theme" weekends for yoga enthusiasts, writers, nature-lovers, food-lovers, or other "special" interests.
