Enjoy a wonderful vacation in our immaculate and newly redecorated upstairs owner’s duplex. Park your car and just relax! This charming beach house is ideally and uniquely located on one of the few LBI streets with a beach on either end. The island and our side street is only four short blocks wide here; about 12 houses either way from our home, you will find ocean and bay beaches. You choose the beach depending on the day and how you’re feeling! Our bay beach boasts a lifeguard, playground and pavilion while our lifeguarded ocean beach is newly replenished, with plenty of room to spread out. If you tire of the sun and sand, take a short stroll to the many shops, restaurants and snack spots nearby or enjoy a pick from our DVD selections. Of course, you can always just relax in the peaceful yard on our chaises or on our deck with a good book from our "beach library" and look towards the dunes or bay.
We have lovingly redecorated our home for our own enjoyment as well as yours. Enter the sliding doors from the spacious gated deck with its dining table, reclining chairs, gas grill and breezes. The living area features comfortable leather seating, a large TV with DVD player (and DVD selections to choose from), and a library of beach books for you borrow. If you must do work or check e-mail, Wifi and broadband connections are available. The bright eat-in kitchen with a tile-top table opens to the living area so everyone can be together.
There are three comfortable bedrooms, all with new high quality mattresses (a queen, a full and a twin with a pop-up twin) and plenty of drawer and closet space. Please enjoy the original professionally completed artwork and photos on our walls throughout. This inviting home offers air conditioning as well as ceiling fans through-out for the cooler evenings.

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Michelle is a born and bred Jersey girl and proud of it! She has beautiful memories of growing up with family vacations here on LBI. Andrew, originally from rural upstate NY, has married into a family of Jersey Shore lovers and has happily joined the club!
Why the Owner Chose Surf City
Owning a home on LBI, especially in Surf City, is a long time dream for us! We were thrilled to find an attractive property that offered such a fantastic vacation. Surf City is a lovely family oriented community that boasts excellent beaches along with vibrant commerce. Our home on 16th Street is well off the main thoroughfares, yet just a short stroll from both the ocean and bay beaches (a real unique plus) as well as shops and dining. We are delighted to share our home with others who appreciate the beauty of the Jersey Shore. We are especially happy to host many repeat guests who share our love of our wonderful beach getaway!
The Unique Benefits of this Upstairs Duplex
- Beaches - Being on the beach is a prime activity for us. Most of all however, we enjoy listening to the waves meet the shore on the ocean beach or lap gently on the sand on the bay beach.
- Walks - We enjoy a morning walk along Barnegat and Sunset, taking in the bay views, followed by a right turn and over to Ocean Ave. to enjoy the ocean. We top it off with a stop in our garden to relax in the shade on the chaise lounges and listen to the birds.
- Dining out - So many choices and so little time! We happily share our dining recommendations (including the only diner in the US to win the James Beard award, and the best ice cream shop on the island) with our guests.
- Relaxing - Evening chats on the deck, books or DVDs from our collection, gallery hopping in the neighborhood, cooking out on the grill for family and friends.
- Sunsets - Sunsets over the bay beach are an amazing experience. We sit on the benches and just drink it all in.
