  New Jersey is in the northeastern United States and was originally settled by the Dutch as part of the New Netherlands colony that also included much of present-day New York. Many parts of New Jersey--such as Beach Haven, Stockton and Stanhop--are home to 19th- and 20th-century Victorian and Gothic-style homes, many of which were restored and turned into romantic lodges, well-suited for Valentine's Day getaways.
  
  

Amber Street Inn

• Amber Street Inn provides a romantic getaway for couples that may want to try something less traditional than a basic hotel. The Inn was built in 1885 as a Victorian-style seashore retreat and now features six uniquely styled guest rooms equipped with private baths, as well as a front porch complete with rocking chairs. The innkeepers serve a full breakfast each morning. Amber Street is half a mile from Long Beach, and innkeepers will provide couples with their own beach chairs, beach passes and bicycles, compliments of the inn.
