Ocean County’s best-known bed-and-breakfast is a weathered-shingle house on busy Route 35. Beverly and Carl Conover bought it in 1970 and began their B&B, inadvertently becoming lead-ers in the movement.
Though built as a summer cottage in 1905, the building was redesigned as an inn in 1912. A tidy parlor with a white cut-stone fireplace introduces guests to the small hotel’s professional grace. Beverly likes to change some of the downstairs decor with the season, and furniture coverings might be plain or plaid or flowered chintz.
