The property offers three expansive levels of fully furnished living spaces, each featuring a separate living/TV room for added convenience. Among the six bathrooms, four have been tastefully retiled in 2022/23.

Great getaway for a group retreat

Our research group has stayed multiple times at this property for our annual group retreat, and have had a great stay each time! Very clean, good location, and a kitchen with lots of pots and pans for cooking group meals. We will likely stay again in the future, and would recommend it to others.

Great Property for Family Vacation

Best Spacious Place in LBI!!!

Such a big house! And beautifully kept! We had 18 of us there for a Bachelorette weekend and everyone slept on a bed with room to spare. Would definitely recommend for big groups and will keep this place in mind for any other big group events I may be a part of in the future.

Family Extended Weekend

Large extended family in for a wedding at the Barnegat Lighthouse. House and property was great. Location to beach was one block. Host was accommodating, allowed us to arrive early and leave later. Although we did not use the grill, I'm not sure why there were no steak knives available in either kitchen, we could not find any. Also, it would have been nice to keep the doors or windows open this time of year to allow fresh air, but none had any screens. Not sure why that was either but not a deal breaker. Overall, enjoyed our stay!

Surf City Vacation

Well equipped house with several living areas which worked well for our whole family (ages 2 to 75). Great location on the Boulevard a block from the beach. Plenty of parking. A second kitchen, a hot tub, and backyard fire pit were well used and much appreciated.

Beachgiving

We celebrated an early Thanksgiving with our family this weekend, and this home was perfect for us! The upstairs kitchen table has two leaves and there are folding chairs in the downstairs closet. We had plenty of room to eat at one table (16 of us). The rooms were clean and spacious. An easy walk to the beach and lots of outdoor decks only made the stay better! Can't wait to return!

Late Summer Fun

The house easily accommodated 12-15 people. The setup is a bit unusual as the main kitchen is on the third floor. Once we established that, the whole gang could gather there. We went off-season and there were still shops and restaurants open most of the time. It’s only a block from the gorgeous beach. Overall, we had a very nice stay.

Great Stay!

My family and I were in town for a wedding and stayed at the house over Memorial Day weekend. The house was exactly as pictured/described in listing, and was more than big for us all to have plenty of space. Amazing location right on the main strip, and steps to many shops, restaurants, and the beach, we never needed our cars. The many decks and hot tub and roof deck were a great added bonus for us to relax. Jennifer was very attentive and answered any questions we may have had immediately. We would absolutely love to stay again, thank you!

October Large Gathering

We gathered (14) from multiple states across the country for a specific family purpose and relaxation. The house has multiple large levels, and thus, we never felt crowded or uncomfortable. This was the first time we all congregated at LBI in October. The weather changed from very warm to cool, and the house handled both settings very well. Again we were comfortable.
