This house is the perfect setting to spend time with your family. We had 3 generations of siblings, cousins and babies, so the 2 minute walk to the beach was a blessing. Each family had their own bedroom with a bath on each level plus two more on the ground level. We all get a night to cook for one another and the large dining room table accommodated us nicely. Besides the beach the covered porch with the constant ocean breeze became the place to gather from early morning till late in the evening. Every room had a view of the ocean. This section of NJ does not require beach tags and yet the beach was still remarkably maintained. We enjoyed the use of the bikes and the small patch of lawn in the back was the perfect place for the toddlers bouncy house! Another huge plus is that all linens and towels are provided. Also, boogie boards, skim boards, beach chairs, umbrellas, sand toys, 7 adult bikes are all here saving tons of room in your car. Having ample parking for 6 cars was also a blessing. We had one small lap dog and there is a dog park right across the street. This is not the newest house you will rent but it is one of the best. One fact you should know is that there are lots of steps, it is a 3 story home. This also allows for the adults to have some time without disturbing the sleeping kids. We obviously loved this house as it is the second time we have rented here. You and your family will love this house too!

This was our second year staying at Lucky Dogs Beach House. We love the house, all the amenities and especially the location to the beach! Jim and Tink are wonderful hosts and always ensure that we are satisfied with our stay while there. We look forward to future vacations at Lucky Dogs!

Lucky Dogs House was a lovely home for our family reunion. We had 12 people staying in the house -- 3 families of 4 with ages from 8 through 51. The bedrooms were very quaint and comfortable. Loved the decor. Some of the beds were softer while others were firmer, in case that will matter for some of your group. The bathrooms were well sized and the towels, pillows and sheets provided were excellent. The owner also left ample soap and toilet paper. We also took advantage of the vacuum cleaner throughout the week, which helped keep things clean and tidy. We also loved the ratio of bathrooms to people and we enjoyed the expansive front porch.The kitchen and the lower floor are not large, but they are well designed and we were able to host family members staying at another house (9 more people ages) for meals. There were plenty of dishes, cups and plates and silverware -- which was so helpful. The knives weren't super sharp and you might want to bring an 1-2 additional large pots. They left fantastic coffee, the ice maker in the fridge was such a help and the coolers out on the decks were great.The porch and decks were fantastic and the distance to the beach was so amazing (only steps). And we were able to take advantage of the bikes (7 in all), boogie boards, and beach chairs. And the outdoor shower was large and so helpful to wash off after the beach. The owner was communicative and helpful. I would definitely recommend this house again and if we have another reunion!

This property was wonderful! Just as described/pictured. Very clean and very well stocked. The hosts were so friendly and accommodating the entire week- location right off the beach and everything you could need for a beach day with multiple bikes, chairs, toys etc. every room was so cute and clean with well working AC units and plenty of storage space. we would recommend it to anyone!

The home was beautifully decorated, organized information book, responsive hosts, Super easy access to beach!

Lucky Dog is an absolutely phenomenal rental! Jim and Nancy went over and above to make us feel welcome and you couldn't ask for a better location. The bedrooms were impeccably kept, kitchen was very well stocked, and it made for a lovely place to vacation with our family from all over the country. Favorite activities were sitting out on any of the 5 decks and wandering back and forth to the beach that was literally 3 doors down. If you visit on a weekend- be sure to check out the little coffee place that a neighbor is running out of the garage across from the front deck. Perfect location for all age groups and the dog that was with us was very comfortable. Can't wait to stay again!

The home is perfect for a large group gathering. It has a lot of charm and character, with plenty of room for everyone to sleep, eat, and lounge comfortably. Ample parking in the driveway is great, but the lack of street parking may be annoying. The only weird thing is that the grill is on an upper deck that is only accessible through a bedroom. The proximity to the beach and boardwalk is ideal. The host is wonderful, and with linens included, check in couldn’t be any easier.

We had a great stay! The house fit our extended family comfortably, and was well equipped for family meals and time together, while the various porch spaces and nooks allowed enough space that we never felt crowded. Access to the beach can't be beat, and being able to travel with our pup was the cherry on top!
