Boutique Hotels are a new concept for the Jersey Shore, a place where B&B’s and casinos or more likely to be found.
Daddy O is a unique addition to the Jersey shore. Its vintage and retro seashore exterior is combined with a contemporary interior decor, reflecting the hotel’s elegant simplicity and warm hospitality.
Daddy O opened last August to praise from longtime Long Beach Island vacationers. The Daddy O was a worn-out 80-year-old hotel and restaurant when Marty Grims, a Philadelphia restaurateur who owns the Plantation on Long Beach Island, and four partners purchased it in 2005. “We bought the property for the value of the land,�? he said. “That was $4.5 million with the liquor license, and we spent another $5.5 million gutting and renovating it.�?

The hotel is half a block from the beach. The Daddy O restaurant serves lunch and dinner daily. In the summer, a shop sells wine, liquor and take-out food. There is a roof deck, and beach badges, towels and chairs are provided in season. Rooms are $115 to $375, including Continental breakfast in summer.
