This house was a wonderful place to have a family reunion. The kitchen has professional grade appliances and the table sat our whole family. We used all 8 bedrooms and it worked out great. The hot tub on the roof was a big hit during the evenings. We also enjoyed the seating in the back yard. It was a great place to play giant jenga! It was ideal to be so close to the beach because we could go for morning and evening walks along the beach and even head back for lunch regularly.

Five family went for our yearly meet out. Very close to Beach, just a min walk. House was kept very clean and themed with small toys. Enough parking. Very close to shops. We loved the stay. Pets policies are Ok, but we didn't prefer due to high cost. That aside, the owner was very helpful and friendly. The roof top HotTub and the view from there to Beach was amazing!!. We will surely visit after few years.

Had my 60th Birthday party with 20 of my closest friends, it rained the day of the party but the house was so large it accommodated everyone for an indoor party. We were all very comfortable and the 6 bedrooms slept all of us. The house is located just a few yards from the beach which was great, no long walk from the bay to the ocean like we usually do. Also don't be alarmed by the owners living a section of the house. Mary Ann & Tom was none intrusive but were available if needed. Lovely people also. If your looking for a nice house thats close to the beach and all the fine restaurants that LBI has to offer this is the house to rent. We also took our two dachshunds with us and they loved it as well. Oh, how could I forget the rooftop hot tub with the beautiful views of LBI. We hope to be able to visit again sometime.

We had a fantastic week at the house in August. Hot tub and porch on the roof were great - especially at sunset! Location to the beach (5 minute walk) was so convenient. Really appreciated that lots of beach chairs and a few umbrellas were available at the house for our use. Lots of stores and restaurants easily accessible. House was laid out nicely for a big group. Owners were very nice and extremely helpful with lots of information about the area.

I've attended 3 different gatherings at the Beach House Retreat and it is the PERFECT place! If you are planning an office meeting or girls Weekend or business seminar, family reunion, birthday party.....any time you need a large but intimate space you must consider coming here! Let your ideas flow.........with a home setting opposed to a hotel where there really aren't meeting rooms on LBI. There is a large table to congregate with a sitting area. There is also the outdoor space. Plenty of sleeping too if you are staying overnight or the weekend. Steps to the beach is an added bonus. And Mary Ann and Tom will help you plan from start to finish if needed!! I just can't say enough, check it out for yourself.

The huge dining table is a great place to gather and share ideas. The house has indoor and outdoor places to gather and/or spread out in groups to deliberate ideas. The house is perfect for day meeting, networking or a project working weekend. Great location that I have had meetings at both in and out of season with the owners!

The house for the weekend was amazing! Its proximity to the beach makes it the ideal place to stay in LBI. Nine of us stayed in the house for a bachelorette weekend (all with a bed) and could not have asked for more. The rooftop deck is a great spot to entertain and the downstairs kitchen fit us all comfortably. Mary Ann and Tom were so willing to help and are just the kindest hosts we could imagine. I would definitely recommend staying here - we are trying to come back here next year ourselves!

When I first came through door I felt like I was home. Wonderful beach theme setting unlike most rental properties. Great place for multi-family vacationing. A very short walk to an immaculate beach and the fantastic ocean. I would highly recommend this property and plan on returning year after year. LBI is a quiet, family oriented vacation spot that has it all.

Wonderful property! Lots of space for large families with all the amenities. Easy access to the beach.Mary Ann and Tom ensured that all our requests were met! Thanks so much!

Very accommodating for large group... plenty of room and just a small walk to the beach.rooftop deck with a excellent view after a day on the beach! Owners easy and pleasant to work with

Weather was crappy, but the house was perfect for our large family; especially the second floor TV lounge; kids had a great time. The hot tub was a hit with everyone. Loved the huge first floor dining table; again, with a large group this was perfect.

House was well stocked and had plenty of space. Ideal location on a quiet street and right by the beach. Hosts were accommodating and willing to help out. Great experience overall.

Perfect place for a big family or beach crew. House is very accommodating and beach is literally 50 steps. They have everything you need - great grill, all the fun beach toys, chairs, etc. Just a seamless and awesome experience on LBI. The owners are so nice and accommodating.

The house is a great place for large family gatherings or groups. There are many bedrooms and bathrooms. They make great use of the space. The giant table in kitchen was used for large family games and meals. Loved my stay.

This house has everything you need for a family get together down the shore. It is steps from the beach and can fit the whole family. Beautiful top deck with hot tub. It offers great views of the island and the beach. The whole family had a great time during our stay. We very much recommend this house to anyone wanting to stay at LBI.

This is the perfect beach house for someone with a larger group of people looking to stay in the Beach Haven/Long Beach Island area, you are literally less than 100 feet from being on the beach so you can pick your spot on the beach, walk back to the house for lunch, a snack or whatever you want and be back on the beach in less than 5 mins. We had up to 16 people staying at the house, ranging in age from 2 years old to (well lets just say that they qualified for the senior citizens discounts) and the house was plenty large enough and so well equipped that we all had a great time there. The large open kitchen with the large pub style kitchen table was able to sit the entire family all at one sitting and made for a great area to play board games. the upstairs and downstairs living/TV rooms allowed the kids to have a completely separate place to watch TV while the adults enjoyed something a little more quiet. BTW, the house is stocked with everything you could possibly ever imagine wanting at the beach (100's of DVD's, books, magazines, local tourist brochures, restaurant menu's, maps, coupons, anything you could ever need in the kitchen, beach chairs, boogie boards, children's toys, board games, etc.). One of the features we all loved besides how close to the beach we were was the sun deck and hot tub on the roof of the third floor. You've got a terrific view of the ocean as well as the surrounding area. This made for a perfect place to relax after dinner. The other great thing we liked that you might not get from the listing is that there is an ACME grocery store about 6 blocks (walking distance) from the house. When you have a large group of people and you need to grab something from the store, it isn't a hassle at all when you're that close. You really need to check this place out and talk with the owners (Mary Ann & Tom) and they will do everything possible to make sure you have a great vacation there!

A couple of my friends and I visited for Memorial Day Weekend this past year. While the accommodations were nice (right on the beach, rooftop with hot tub, a plethora of rooms, etc.), a two things were major negatives: -The family was staying in the house the entire weekend, and didn't let us know (they DEFINITELY should say that upfront, regardless of how large your party is and how long you're staying). They had children and, while my crew isn't the rowdiest, we still felt awkward playing music into late hours of the night. It's just not comfortable. -They didn't provide a lot of things - we had to provide our own linens (which, while I understand the thought behind, still costs a lot of money... not everyone has king sheets, so then someone must go out and buy them. It's quite an ordeal). They were also low on toilet paper and seemingly didn't provide any extra (none in the bathroom, etc. - we looked around), or hand towels in the bathroom, stuff like that.'

I rented this house to use for a retreat for high school seniors from my church's youth group before they graduated and went off to college. We were welcomed by the owners with open arms and had the best weekend! The house is big enough to easily sleep 15-20 people and the rooftop completed with a hot tub and couches was the perfect hangout during the afternoon and evening. The views were amazing, and the house is right next to the beach. The owners were so accommodating and friendly! I would definitely recommend this home to rent if you are looking for a spacious and fun place to relax with the family or friends:)

Best beach house ever. We went for a bachelorette weekend, and had the most wonderful time. The house was large and clean; the rooftop had spectacular views - and a hot tub; and the hosts were amazing, even providing us with bachelorette games and mailing back a cooler we forgot. Would recommend this house to anyone!!!

What a fantastic vacation! The Wed and Bed was wonderful, from the breath taking views of the ocean to going to sleep each night to the sounds of the waves crashing on the shore just steps away. Our group of 8 adults and two kids felt right at home with the comfortable and spacious accommodations. The rooftop was a favorite of everyone as we looked out over the ocean and the island and enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub. Two fishermen in our group spent a couple days reeling them in one after another resulting in a delicious feast of blue fish and sand shark one of the nights. If we needed anything, Mary Ann and Tom were right on it making sure our stay was completely enjoyable. We have been bringing the family to LBI for decades and on the last day there this year, our first at the "Wed and Bed", my son proclaimed this to be the best vacation ever! Enough said. I highly recommend the Wed and Bed to anyone looking for a great vacation on LBI.

The Wed and Bed was the perfect location for our family vacation. We had 11 people, including two elderly grandfathers, and initially had worried about everyone having enough individual space for sleeping and privacy. However, using the second floor living room for one of the young couple's bedroom solved the problem, leaving each couple and grandpa with their own room. There was plenty of space for everyone to be together, but also to separate for different activities. Tom and MaryAnn were very friendly and helpful throughout our stay, without being intrusive. The kitchen was extremely well-stocked with supplies, and the huge table had even more seating than we needed. Beach chairs, boogie boards, and sand toys were all provided. The proximity to the beach was wonderful, and the view from the roof was fantastic, especially at sunset. Tom kept the hot tub chlorinated and running smoothly. On the side of the house, there were two grills and plenty of seating, which we used a few nights to grill our dinner. We even caught our own crabs using chicken legs and twine at the Veterans Park pier in Beach Haven. The house is nicely located, with Acme just down the road, liquor store and great take-out from Pinky's Shrimp, just a few blocks away. Bay Village down on 9th St. had a fun water park and was a great place to spend an evening shopping and eating. We are hoping to come back to this house again, and strongly recommend it to any large family who wants to have a great vacation!

This property and the owners totally exceeded our expectations. Tom & MaryAnn are wonderful to deal with and the amenities were everything they said PLUS some. The house is clean and neat. We did a lot of cooking while there and the kitchen is very well stocked. The area is very residential which makes it nice to take a walk or ride a bike. Distance from the house to the beach is only steps away. This was good for us as we had several small children with us. The rooftop deck is nothing short of AMAZING! You have views of the ocean as well as the bay. Simply beautiful. If we needed anything Tom & MaryAnn were just a phone call or text away! 😃 I would recommend this property to anyone who has a larger group and would like to be close to the beach. Looking forward to returning again soon.

Again we came back to this fantastic house for our annual beach weekend retreat - it was over the summer solstice this year and perfect for a weekend away - Mary Ann and Tom as always super helpful and kind in letting our group enjoy ourselves. Place is spacious and fits a ton of people - hot tub on the roof is great for lougning about - steps to the beach - everything you need to feed an army! You just bring the fun and the food. Highly recommended A+++
