Grand Ole Rooftop Deck: The 4th floor rooftop deck gives you the opportunity to tune out the world and relax. The hot tub will melt away the worries and let the good times sink in. Panoramic views of the island and surrounding towns over the bridge twinkle at night. You can see Old Barney's Light blimp on the left, the bridge rails glow, and to the right the ferris wheel at Bay Village Schooners Wharf, along with Atlantic City's Outline and shimmering lit Borgota that changes color every few minutes and daily change of patterns. The 4th of July is a splendid sight with all the fireworks being at a safe distance away, without all the heart stopping booms. It's nice to have room to sit in comfort and have a cocktail while visiting on the deck when watching the fireworks and the little ones excitement! Plan your BBQ with friends and dine in the back yard with the 2 large tables and bench seating, and butcher block. If you bring your own bikes we have a bike rack, and the clothesline is out back also.
What to bring?: If you have bikes bring them, if it's too much to carry, rent down the street. If you like to fish, bring your gear, or just walk up to the bait shop and buy some new presents for your crew to remember your trip. We have some beach chairs and umbrellas for your use and also boogie boards and a skim board. The surf shop carries all these items also if you need more or want some other options. We have a toy box with sand toys, trucks, and other items to make the beach trip fun for the little ones without packing your stuff from home. No matter what weather pack those bathing suits year round, the hot tub is on the rooftop deck 4 stories up and the views are amazingly soothing. A hot tub certainly takes the sting out of a cloudy rainy day for sure. The house has several movies rated from G to R for your watching pleasure, and a few games for a play station if you bring your set up. For those kids on the rainy days we have games, books,cards and puzzles to entertain them.
The LBI Experience: Here is some of the must do's if you can fit them in to your relaxing visit:Fishing on the Black Whale or out of Barnegat Light,Barnegat Lighthouse trek (214 steps!), Nardi's Tavern (great bands and pizza, free bus transportation to and from daily), Skipper Dipper Ice Cream, Surflight Theater,Showplace Ice Cream Parlor(they make yone person at the table sing for their ice cream),Fantasy Island Amusement Park, Howards Seafood Restaurant (great salmon dishes,and Lobster Bisque!),Bay Village Schooner's Wharf is a must for shopping, Country Crumb in Bay Village has delicious Elephant ear cookies and Choc. chip cookies to die for! Country Kettle Fudge should satisfy your sweet tooth, and Thundering Surf is fun for all ages with tubing down the lazy river, tubing shoots, a kiddie water playground, a huge mini golf on a 'mountain',and lots of food and drinks to keep you going. Take a bucket a net up to the Bayview park and let the little ones find all the creatures in the sea, this is fun!
The back part of the second floor and third floor is locked out for Owner who is a Year Round Tenant, with own entrance, and the far right 2 parking spots next to fence are reserved.

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful, well-maintained home in LBI. The host was gracious and easy to work with, and the house had plenty of room/space to accomodate all 12 of us. We enjoyed the beach as well as the hot tub on the rooftop. Two steps from the beach was definitely a bonus and also the use of equipment at the home from the grills to the boogie boards was an added treat. Definitely recommend and would come back in a heartbeat. Shital =)Owner response: Thank you so much Shital, we look forward to you having your group back again soon. Let us know if you want to come back for a winter stay and enjoy the radiant heated floors and fireplace along with the hot tub. Sincerely, Mary Ann Gutchigian

Our stay at "The Wed and Bed" was fantastic. Mary Ann and Tom were extremely accommodating - friendly, attentive, and very kind. They were available via email throughout the entire planning process - responding within 24 hours or less every time and were easily accessible if we had any questions, requests, etc. during our stay. We had a large party of girls ready for a ladies weekend and we could not have asked for a better place. The house accommodated all 16 of us comfortably - we loved sharing meals at the large kitchen table and enjoying time together on the roof top deck. The 30 second walk to the beach was, to say the least, perfect. In addition, the restaurants and local vendors Mary Ann recommended to us were phenomenal! Our stay was fantastic, most definitely a weekend to remember!Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 1/1

This is a great family vacation location. The beach is so close that even bathroom breaks are easy. The kitchen is fantastic and it allowed us to save a lot of money by eating in. The kitchen table will comfortably seat 12! The bedrooms are very comfortable and the view from the master bedroom (king sized bed) is beautiful. We will return next year!Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 2/2

Tom and Mary ann greeted us on our arrival even though we were early, and everything went well from there. From the beautiful guarded beach just a few feet away, clear sparkling water more reminiscent of the caribbean than the Jersey Shore. handy when needed and out of sight when not they made sure we had all we needed. Don't forget the fun decorations the highest porch commanding a wonderful view, available chairs rafts and umbrellas... A great place at a great value...Did you find this review helpful?

This beach home is spacious,and housed our group of twelve adults comfortably. Every room was private and clean. The kitchen is huge and well equipped with for any needs for cooking. The beach is beyond words, and lulls you to sleep each night. We all will certainly return again.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 2/2

Our extended family of husband, 2 sons and wives and 4 grandsons-10,6,5,and 4 yrs. old had a wonderful time. there was plenty of room for different groups to gather in different parts of the house and a giant size kitchen bar-table combo that allowed us to all eat together. the beds were comfortable and clean. The house is just a short walk to the beach which was great for the kids coming back to use the bathroom! All ages from graandparents to little ones had a wonderful time. I recommend this house for family or friends to share for a great beach adventure at LBI!Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 1/1

I stayed at this house over labor day weekend w a big group of my girlfriends. The house is very large and more than accommodates sleeping for a big group - all 15 of us were very comfortable the whole weekend. The location of the house is amazing, you are within seconds from the beach. Also the house has a great roof deck, we enjoyed the sunset everyday from up top. Mary ann and Tom were very helpful with getting us situated in the house upon arrival. Overall we had a great experience renting with them. The weekend was a total success and a great way to end the summer.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 1/1

The owners were very friendly and accomodating for a rather large group of teenages celebrating their prom. The home was as described, with ample room for dining, relaxing as well as sleeping. The views are stunning and location was top notch. An outside shower is an added perk. We will definately book again, when the next one comes of age.Did you find this review helpful?

The location was so close to the ocean th at you could go back and forth to the house in no time for bathroom breaks or snacks. The house itself was so relaxing; you didn't have to leave it to enjoy the shore! LOVE it!Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 2/2

Owner info
Year Purchased: 1957
About the owner: My husband Tom and I both grew up on LBI in the summers. We lived next door to each other until age 10. After 30 years we reconnected at age 40! We have raised 4 daughters here and were married on our beach. We married in 2006 bought my familys home and renovated so we could share LBI with others.
Why the Owner Chose Beach Haven Crest:
We purposely built the house to having several places to spread out in different living areas, or gather in one spot, indoors and outdoors. This helps with multi- generational families. We love introducing new visitors to the island and showing them the ropes. We also have a great connection with people who have been coming to LBI and our home year after year.
We also welcome groups for retreats. We have retreat groups in the months of Sept.-June. We are currently looking for more retreat leaders to fill some weekends with their offerings. If interested please contact me. We look for all kinds of groups: Ladies, Men’s, Artists, Holistic, Spiritual, Healthy Ways, Networking, Business, and more.
The Unique Benefits at this House:
I do milestone event planning: birthdays, anniversaries, christenings, rehearsal dinners, cocktail parties, diner parties, brunches, continental breakfasts and more. If you are planning to have an event please let me know if you need my services. Many homes do not allow parties at their homes on LBI, but there is a need and we have had great success with entertaining for our visitors and have enjoyed their reunion type gatherings. We book for wedding stays and bachelorette weekends.
Having raised 4 daughters we have a great understanding of what parents wants and needs are while down on LBI. We suggest what going on for the kids as well as the adults and provide coupons, maps, and brochures for the areas offerings. Sunny days and raining days we have the answers on what to do. Please Don’t Hesitate to ask a question during a stay, and Welcome to “Beach House Retreats on LBI, NJ”.
