This house is an LBI original and landmark built by my family over 90 years ago and occupied for over 70 years by the original owners; a Naval captain and his artist wife. It has not been refinished, has limited air conditioning & offers the charm & experience of a traditional beach house. My family has enjoyed our beach house for many years and we are confident you will too. Linens and towels are available but we expect them to be left laundered & folded. There is a nearby laundromat, however we suggest bringing your own to avoid the hassle. No Pets & No Smoking Minimum age to rent is 25 years old. No prom parties!

We thoroughly enjoyed this little throwback home nestled in a quiet street with easy beach access and easy walking access to town activities. We would definitely stay again! It might be helpful to others to know the shower is quiet small. We aren’t big people so that didn’t bother us but might be a tight squeeze for some larger-bodied individuals! Thank you for a lovely home away from home!

This historic home is located very close to the beach. There was only air conditioning in 3 bedrooms. There were only fans in the livingroom, diningroom and kitchen (which reached highs of 90 degrees, not with the stove on). I had to do a deep clean upon my arrival. There was mold on the back of the bathroom door, thick dust on the window fan in the kitchen and on all of the a/c units. I scrubbed the dirty handrail that went to the 2nd floor, the top of the refrigerator and the paper towel holder. The toilet seat was loose, and the pillows were really stained. In the first floor bedroom, the 2 dressers were full and since there's no closet, my husband and I kept our clothes in our luggage. The 2 recycling cans and the garbage can were filled outside upon our arrival. The written directions for the house were from 2016. They should be updated yearly.

Charm abounds in this historic beach cottage! Step back into another era and experience the history of this home. Walking distance to the bakery, candy store, mini golf, ice cream, surf shop, arcade, the gorgeous sunset; its location is ideal! Perfect for quick on and off the beach with kids and perfect for scooters and bikes on this quiet beach street. The main living areas get very hot but ac units in 3/4 bedrooms make sleeping comfortable. Lots of beds is a plus and rinsing off in outdoor hose/shower head space is convenient after a day on the beach!

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this rustic beach house. It had great vibes and was super close to the beautiful beach. It was a very quiet, quaint street with lovely older neighbors (no noisy parties/renters). We walked to the amazing bakery every day, shopping, dinner and a fantastic toy store. If you are looking for new and shiny, this vacation rental is not for you. Thank you for making your house available for rent!

Our group had a fantastic stay at this home! The location could not be better, you are practically on the beach, just steps from the front door. The beach itself is fairly quiet and private we had plenty of space. The house is walking distance from a few food spots and a quick drive to many restaurants and the grocery store. The house is a classic beach house which is perfect for a big group or families: lots of beds, nothing too fancy, and a small backyard space. The only tough part was having one small shower but we made it work with 7 people. Neighborhood is quiet and friendly plus plenty of parking. We're hoping to go back next year!

We stayed here for our annual end of summer week. It was actually 9 nights, and the owner was very accommodating for that special request, and responded quickly to any inquiry. We have stayed at different houses over the years, and this will be a favorite. It is old-fashioned, so if you require a lot of modern amenities, this might not be for you. It doesn't have central air or a washer/dryer. But there were window units and plenty of fans, and a laundromat right around the corner. We all loved the history of the place and the homey feel. And it was nice and big! No one felt on top of one another. It also had ample parking and was nice and close to the beach. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a true, classic beach house!

We had such a great time at this beach house. It is a few houses from the beach and in one of the best places on LBI. The beach is super wide with life guards close by. The house had great space and you definitely don't feel like you're on top of one another because of how spacious it is. The owners are very nice and extremely accommodating.
