Stay Thoughtfully.Return Naturally.

A New Chapter In Ocean Grove

This is more than a place to stay. It’s a place to return to.

Born from a passion for thoughtful hospitality and shaped by years of welcoming returning guests at The Inn at Ocean Grove, The Marilyn Inn is the next chapter in our journey.

Just across the street at 26 Webb Avenue, this property—once the Cordova Inn—has been completely reimagined over 27 months of meticulous renovation. Every detail has been intentionally designed to create a space that feels both elevated and deeply personal.

Inspired by the continued trust of our guests, and guided by our dedicated team, including Liz and Ashley, The Marilyn Inn reflects our belief that a stay by the shore should be as beautiful as it is memorable.
