Great hosts. great house. Will come again.

I’ve been going to the north end of LBI for vacation for 45+ years and have stayed ocean-side and bay-side of the blvd. This location was the best for a boater- far enough into the lagoon system to get away from the hassles of the in-out tide current and strong winds of the main channel waterfront, floating dock to tie up to (not to worry about the tide). The house is a renovated vintage late 1950s early 1960s house. The upstairs master is large with a small bath. The three downstairs bedrooms are very small, locked closets, no dressers. The only place to put belongings is on the floor (and not much room). Consider the three downstairs bedrooms simply a place to sleep. The neighbors on both sides are very nice-neighborly. Some of the more important features are very good- good electronics, wifi, tv, excellent grill, etc. The bottom line is if you are going on a family vacation, not for a wild party place, and especially if you are a boater, this is a good choice.

Our family really enjoyed our stay. Would definitely consider renting again in the future. Beautiful views of the bay from the back yard.

Positives: Great location, Really enjoyed having access to the Lagoon in the backyard, plenty of room for a family of 5. Negatives: 1) Pillows were the only bedding items supplied with the house and they were quite dirty and stained. Glad we brought our own just in case. 2) The house was not clean upon arrival. There was dust, sand and fingerprints on the doors and windows. 3) Furniture items were damaged/dirty - kitchen chairs were ripped, a living room chair was extremely soiled, a ceiling fan in the "twin bed" bedroom was missing a blade or two and the light fixture in the same room did not always work. 4) I emailed the owner upon arrival and mentioned the items noted above and received a reply of "thanks for letting me know" 5) Garage was left unlocked and is used to store many floating devices, boats etc. that can be used in the lagoon. We used one of the blow-up boats/raft found in the garage and the owner called us the next day to say that a neighbor had informed him that we had used the boat and left it in the water overnight (tied to the dock of course). The owner went on to say that we were not to use any of the items in the garage. Note: there was no mention in the welcome letter or rental agreement stating we were not to use any items in the garage. 6) In our welcome letter it stated that items such as laundry and dish detergent would be supplied in the house at the beginning of the season, however there was no guarantee supplies would be available throughout the season. Well, there was not a drop of wash detergent left by the time we rented in the beginning of August. I guess you need to be sure and rent in the beginning of the season or you will be "out of luck" and have to purchase some of your own supplies. Again, the location of this house was great, the house was spacious but next year, I will rent elsewhere.
