About this property

Big Family Beach House with Beautiful Water Views Steps from the Ocean & the Bay

We fell in love with this house because we knew it was big enough for us to comfortably fit our whole family or groups of close friends to come join us at the shore to make some memories!

This large bay side house is 2 houses from ocean with lots of room to spread out. Take in the water views from the living room, bayside porch, rooftop deck and master bedroom in the family-friendly North Beach area. This reversed-living house was designed for multi-family dwelling with 2 FULL kitchens, 2 living room areas, 2 covered porches and 8 bedrooms. Just a 2 minute walk to private ocean access shared with our neighbors to a life-guarded beach. Watch the sunrise from the beach side deck; the sunset from the bay side deck. Or enjoy it all from the hot tub in the rooftop deck that features panoramic views.

The house sleeps 18 in beds. There are: 1 king bed; 6 queen beds; 2 bunk sets. 6 full bathrooms. The master has its own large sitting area and an en suite bathroom with a jacuzzi and walk-in shower. Enjoy the two outdoor showers when you come back from a great day at the beach. House also has 2 sets of washers and dryers. Relax in the Adirondack chairs on the side patio while grilling up dinner.

There are pocket doors that can be closed to separate the 2 sides of the house for privacy or to reduce noise from one side to the other. Although you have to enter the house through the same door, once inside, if you'd like to, you can live somewhat separately. Each side of the house has a full kitchen, washer/dryer, living room, covered porch, 4 bedrooms, and 3 full bathrooms.

There are lots of bikes, ride-on toys for toddlers, beach chairs, sand toys, 3 umbrellas, corn hole, and a bocce set. Renters are required to bring their own sheets and towels.

Perfect getaway
My extended family of 12 stayed at the house for one week this summer. The house is perfectly set up for a large group with two kitchens and two living areas, and in the evenings we would eat all together on the large deck overlooking the sunset. It is a very short walk to a lovely uncrowded beach, and the house is equipped with everything you need from beach gear to bicycles. Lastly, I want to say that communication with the owner was really great- she was so warm, helpful, and available. We look forward to staying here again!

Long weekend in LBI
We rented this house for our family to all be together for a last summer weekend. We had so much fun at the beach and with the karaoke machine there. I would highly recommend this house to families and friends who all want to stay together in the same house. There were enough bedrooms and baths for everyone.

Great for kids and adults
We stayed with 4 families (8 adults and 7 kids ranging from 1-7 yes old) and the house was perfect. The kids loved the amount of bikes and ride on toys. It’s not on a busy street so the kids were able to enjoy them without the parents worrying. The bayside deck was a favorite, with stunning sunsets. Great spot for large groups and families.

Great Family House
The house has everything an extended family needs for a great beach vacation. Lots of room to spread out or gather together. There is one bedroom on the living space floor that we gave to the grandparents so they had less stairs to climb. The owner was also extremely responsive to any questions we had.

Family Reunion Week
Our large family had an amazing week at Heather’s incredible house. Even during the rain we had tons of space, games, views & enjoyed being together. Sunshine brought walks the the bay and beach—all within a block. I’d give the house and interaction with the owner 10-stars if I could!

Perfect House in the Best Location!
We enjoyed every minute of our beach vacation! We could not rave more about our stay. The property is very well maintained and super clean! Our group was concerned about social distancing and being outside and this property was absolutely perfect for what we needed. Two of everything and a ton of space to be outside on the rooftop deck or balconies. As a property manager, Heather was so nice and really communicative. She answered any questions we had within minutes! The location is ideal, just a minute or two walk to the beach or a short bike ride to town. We would definitely recommend this property and will stay here again when we come back to LBI!

Perfect vacation for a large group
We decided to take a trip with 4 other families for a long weekend and stumbled upon the perfect house for a getaway with teenagers. We had our own space and they had their own space. It could not have been situated any better. I Heather was great. She answered all my questions before arriving and provided us with lots of info that made our weekend easy breezy. The house is a short walk to the beach and everything you need is right there. We had a great weekend and hope to be back again someday!

Exceptional experience beginning to end
First for anyone reading this, the design of this house is ideal for anyone looking to escape the confines of pandemic-quarantine and also be able to invite friends/family while still maintaining healthy physical distancing. The house is divided into two distinct sections, each with its own bedrooms, bathrooms, full kitchen, and deck-with-a-view. The only shared space is the roof deck, which is spacious enough to gather together and keep your distance at the same time. The hosts were spot-on in ensuring the house was squeaky-clean — everything from the rooms to the linens were fresh and welcoming. When we arrived, there was a lovely, thoughtful gift basket, complete with a binder of helpful information about all the best things to experience on LBI. Beach badges are included. It's the kind of personal touch that really communicated to us that the owner is more than just a renter — they're a true, gracious host. The property: The location is just perfect — all the best LBI spots just a short drive or walk or bide ride away, and yet it still feels distant enough from the world that you can retreat to your own daydreams without interruption. The spaciousness of the house is the perfect respite we all so desperately need right now. The deck on one side of the house has a view to the ocean, and the opposite deck has a view to the bay. The house is located within a 5-minute casual stroll to the ocean and a 2-minute casual stroll to the bay. There's no need to choose between sunrise and sunset — you get both, every day. Outdoor showers let you quickly change into your swimsuit and rinse off the sand when you return. They've also thoughtfully provided bicycles, which we loved, as LBI is the best place for a relaxing bike ride. There's also a fantastic hot tub on the roof, where you can bask in every horizon while you soak in privacy and quiet. There's a lovely fireplace where we roasted marshmallows for s'mores one evening. The kitchens are enormous and fully outfitted with everything you could need for some casual cooking, including a grill downstairs. The master bed and en suite bathroom are luxuriously spacious, with a jacuzzi tub and a huge shower with water pressure you dream of. Honestly, we can't say enough wonderful things about this property and its people. We're sure that later on, we're going to think of more praise we forgot to add. We love to give glowing reviews whenever an experience calls for it, and this one absolutely did.

Great family reunion
The 15 of us had a wonderful time in a lovely home, walking distance from the beach. Everyone had a comfortable room with good mattresses! The house was delightfully air conditioned for the heat wave we had during our week. The owner was available to answer all our questions and kept in touch. A small quibble: there wasn’t a big enough table inside to seat us all. The porch tables were fine but it was just too hot to have our meals out there! All-all a 5 star vacation for all of us.

Why they chose this property

Why We Fell in the with the House:
Windows, light and water views!!! There are water views from all the living areas. porches, roof deck and the master. Even if we are stuck inside on a laptop, we can take in the beautiful water views. We love being with family and friends in this house because we are able to accommodate everyone without feeling like we're on top of each other. There are plenty of places to gather together as well as steal away for quiets moments alone.

Why We Fell in Love This Area: North Beach has a tranquil atmosphere that is away from the island chaos and traffic yet a short drive from the island entry, shops, restaurants and entertainment. We also loved the larger lots. Most of all, we LOVE OUR BEACH. Walk over the beautiful dunes to big wide beaches that are never crowded and have a lifeguard. Our house is close enough for our kids (and us!) to bike for ice cream or to Sunset Park to play.
