The James Bradley

My now-husband and I, and our families, stayed at The James Bradley Hotel for our wedding weekend. I can't say enough positive things about how GORGEOUS and well-manicured the property is. We rented out the bungalow at the back of the property and took our family and first look photos in the back courtyard (my photographer was VERY happy :) ). The bungalow itself was very spacious and our hair /makeup artists were amazed at how much natural light there was inside! The beds were also very comfortable to sleep in, and the air conditioning was FANTASTIC (I like it cold🥶❄️). The breakfast included was clearly made with care and so fresh- I had one of the best breakfast sandwiches I've ever had here! Our guests stated that the rooms in the main hotel were very comfortable and cozy. Now, I want to write a review specifically for Emily, the General Manager. She is a true professional- from day 1, she was warm and an absolute delight to work with. She answered all of my millions of questions throughout the planning process and just made me feel at ease. Emily was by far the easiest of our vendors to work with. Everything was perfect and she got every small detail right. Our guests who stayed at the hotel had nothing but amazing things to say about her and the hotel itself. THANK YOU and we will absolutely be back for our anniversary:)

My husband and I had such a lovely stay at The James Bradley. The hotel was clean, comfortable and cozy. Ayawanna was so lovely and accommodating. The breakfast was delicious. The room was nicely designed, bed was comfortable and the bathroom was really nice. The porch was nice to sit and enjoy the breeze. It was in a beautiful residential neighborhood a block over from the beach and a 10min walk to Main Street for shopping, dining, and spas. Parking was right in the front of the hotel and not once did we need to drive to enjoy ourselves during our stay. We will return next time we need a play to stay in Bradley Beach.

Wonderful bed and breakfast with a modern, stylish aesthetic. The rooms are beautifully designed—clean lines, comfortable furnishings, and thoughtful touches that make the space feel both cozy and contemporary.||Breakfast was fresh and delicious, with enough variety to please everyone. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I would highly recommend this B&B to anyone looking for a relaxing, modern place to stay.

Lovely place w lovely people. Super accomodating, friendly and remembered us for our last stay. As before everything was spotlessly clean. It was just a very warm, relaxing stay in a beautiful setting. Already booked our next visit.

Emily made our stay quite memorable!!|Every detail was a 5 star experience!|We came down from the Hudson valley to attend our granddaughter’s wedding. We decided to make a weekend trip out of this.|Interior design in the rooms are elegant!|Rooms are super clean!! ||Breakfast in the morning by Emily was such a delight!||We are definitely coming back!!

As much as we enjoyed the quiet, cozy ambience and understated décor, the walls were very thin. I could hear people upstairs using the bathroom and others walking and talking in the hallway at 2am. The staff was very friendly and accommodating.

Super lovely place to stay. A block from the beach. Had a wonderfully simple bfast that was delicious with homemade granola. The room was amazing and location was perfect.|Everything was super clean and tidy and the staff was extremely friendly and accommodating. Couldn’t recommend this place more.|Close to great spots in Asbury Park for dinner.

Old school hotel with a contemporary chic interior. Loved the jazz playing on the front porch and nice, comfortable exterior spaces. Excellent service and a delicious breakfast. Highly recommend.

Absolutely perfect from check in to check out. Hotel is conveniently located near the beach, but also near the main street and public transit. The hotel is beautiful and it felt like every single piece of furniture and decorations were chosen intentionally. Perhaps the best part of our stay was the phenomenal, friendly and attentive service from manager Emily. Truly a gem of a person, and made sure everything we needed was available. Would also like to highlight that Emily reached out even before our stay begun to ask if we needed anything upon arrival or had any questions. All requests were met and Emily was prompt to answer all questions. I would highly recommend The James Bradley to anyone thinking of visiting. If you're looking for a quick vacation out of this city, this is the place, so easy to get to, the town has wonderful restaurants/bars and the beach was beautiful (even if it was too cold to hang out). Can't wait to find a reason to return.

The lobby and dining area, porch and sitting areas are beautiful. Our room was also quite lovely but could've used some more amenities like perhaps a place to sit and eat as we ordered food, utensils (we ended up getting some from the front desk) and a trash can? I'm all for minimalism but there needs to be functionality behind it. As for breakfast; more gluten free options please! And the soft boiled eggs we chose were either cooked too hard or way undercooked. The yogurt and fruit was delicious! Our server was great.

The James Bradley would get a 10 star rating if there were one. Without knowing, they upgraded me and I was in awe with the hospitality they gave. It's Absolutely an amazing and beautiful place to stay especially so close to the beach. Breakfast was great, fast and delicious. Also their massage packages were so convenient my wife enjoyed her appointment she'd say 10/10 on the massage and her masseuse took her time and really helped relax everything. I'd recommend The James Bradley to anyone and everyone who's going to Bradley Beach or near by.

THE most stylish and relaxing beach hotel you can dream up on the Jersey Shore. I stayed here on a recommendation of a friend and was delighted that I booked it. I felt recharged after my mini-cation at The James Bradley. I stayed in the James Master Suite and have to say I was impressed - from the tasteful decor to the linens, it was a real getaway. The room came fully stocked with yummy à-la-cart goodies. The staff was really nice and accommodating. They suggested great spots in town to eat. Don't miss the breakfast buffet - the granola was top tier. Best of all, the beach was a 2 minute walk!

We had a nice enough stay but there were some things that were just a bit awkward that could be easily fixed to make a stay better. Starting with the entrance to the rear building - walking through gravel while towing bags and such isn't ideal. Why not place paving stones? Then in the bathroom - no place to put anything. We occupied two bedrooms with one bath between. So four of us shared the one bath but there's not enough towel racks to hang 4 towels, or shelf space for much more than 4 toothbrushes. It wasn't terrible, just awkward. And finally, no "do not disturb" signs to hang on the door. So housekeeping managed to wake up our sleeping teen twice. And housekeeping is a funny word for it because they took all the washcloths without leaving dry ones, but left the dirty dishes from the welcome cookies. No big deal but just a little awkward. One last issue - we couldn't figure out how to turn off the TV so we had to unplug it to go to sleep. On the plus side, the baked goods offered at the morning breakfast were all delicious!

This was a great place to stay. It was clean recently renovated, comfortable & modern. The breakfast offered was made fresh in their kitchen each day and was delicious. Just 1 block to the beach. Be sure to book your reservations early! We will be back!

The James in Bradley Beach is a Fantastic Place to Stay at the Jersey Shore The newly refurbished "The James" is a lovely Bed and Breakfast, just one block from the ocean in beautiful Bradley Beach. Named for one of the town's founders, James Bradley, it began as a large Victorian mansion. Now The James is an intimate sanctuary, comprised of 17 guestrooms, suites, and a bungalow spread across three historic buildings. The rooms have fascinating designs by Sebastian Zuchowicki, one of the top American interior designers. Based in New York City, he is renowned as a "visual storyteller who transcends space through the use of fine art, objects, and timeless interiors." The James boasts unique contemporary designs with classical and coastal elements that highlight the simple beauty of the Jersey Shore. Distinctive decorative finishes by Lucas Willing Studios transform spaces into special sanctuaries. Delicious breakfasts are included in your stay, and an outstanding internet connection is available for those who must stay connected to the outside world. This area of the Jersey Shore provides mile after mile of beautiful, pristine ocean views. Consider staying at The James and enjoy a wonderful opportunity to relax and refresh. As a former NJ Assistant Commissioner of Health and former President of the NJ Public Health Association, I give The James my highest rating. The James is located at 204 3rd Avenue in Bradley Beach, NJ 07720 and the website is https://www.thejamesbradleybeach.com/

Exceptional! Totally zen, modern with a warm and welcoming vibe. I loved my stay here. They decor is simple and beautiful, the staff was accommodating and kind, and the food was incredible. A block or so from the beach with street parking. My room was very comfortable and relaxing and I loved the warm homemade cookies on my dresser when I checked in. Such a nice touch. The back yard fire pits were unexpected and fun. I'd love to rent all 10 rooms for a girls weekend. I just loved it here!

Such a unique hotel in a quiet New Jersey beach town . Beautifully decorated and immaculate inside and outdoors. The hotel staff, Brandon, Keith and Tatiana, are always ready to assist you on whatever you need. Breakfast is served daily, continental style weekdays and full breakfast on weekends.

Nice Bed and Breakfast just a block from the beach. Recently renovated, inside and out. Enjoy homemade muffins thier pleasant friendly staff, deliteful experience on the Jersey shore!

# 1 BEST BOUTIQUE HOTEL IN NEW JERSEY We hosted our company holiday dinner party here Dec. 2022. Private chef's food and service was incredible. Common areas and rooms of this boutique hotel are gorgeous. Freshly baked cookies on arrival and nightly turndown service. The morning breakfast was delicious. The hotel staff were beyond helpful with every detail. There is NO other hotel in New Jersey like this.

This place is a hidden gem at the Jersey shore. We herd about this place being remodeled over the winter so we couldn't wait to give it try. When you arrive from the outside you can tell this place is special but when you open the door to this wonderful boutique inn you can tell the owner payed attention to every detail in this place from the scents you smell through the grounds to the art work on the walls and the lighting throughout there is nothing like this at the Jersey shore. The bedroom was much bigger than I expected and all rooms have there own private bathroom all remodeled throughout this entire place. All this one block from the beach this year I was lucky to get a room when people start to hear about it like I did and find out how wonderful and clean it is you won't be able to get in .

Beyond chic! My boyfriend and I wanted to get out of Manhattan for a last minute trip to the beach but did not want to drive to Montauk. We found The James in Bradley Beach and it was perfect! It is only an hour from Soho. The outdoor garden was magical and the room was amazing. We booked another stay there for July before we checked out.
