We had another great week down in LBI this summer; the weather was great, with the exception of one day of welcome rain. This has been our 4th or 5th summer in OurLBI house in Ship Bottom and it feels like home; it's comfortable, clean and has a seaside charm that you won't find just anywhere. There's plenty of room for our family of four (with two teenagers); each bedroom has a newer AC window unit, and most of the rooms have a ceiling fan too. The kitchen is well stocked with cookware and utensils; since we cook most of our meals and eat out only rarely the kitchen gets used a lot this is very important to us. And there is a great working grill on the deck too. The house is only two blocks from the beach and is on a quiet family-oriented residential street; no loud parties or boulevard street noise. I highly recommend this house.

Owner response:Thank you so much for the kind review. Its so nice to know that our guests feel the same as we do about our house.

THIS WAS THE THIRD TIME MY WIFE AND I HAVE STAYED AT THIS CHARMING AND CLEAN BEACH HOUSE. WE HAVE STAYED WITH FAMILY AND TWO TIMES WITH FRIENDS. THE BACKYARD IS GREAT FOR CHILDREN AS IT IS FENCED IN. OUR FRIENDS ENJOYED THE BACKYARD FOR PRIVACY AND WE LOVED THE OUTSIDE SHOWER. THE OWNER IS VERY HELPFUL IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM. THE BAY IS A HALF BLOCK AWAY TO WATCH THE SUNSETS AND THE BEACH IS TWO SHORT BLOCKS AWAY. THERE ARE PLENTY OF RESTAURANTS BUT MOST OF THEM YOU WILL NEED TO DRIVE. THE AMUSEMENT PARK IS GREAT FOR THE KIDS. THIS LAST TRIP WE DISCOVERED THE TIKI BAR RIGHT UP THE STREET WHICH HAD GREAT LUNCHES AND MUSIC. WE WOULD DEFINITELY RECOMMEND THIS HOUSE TO ANYONE..

Owner response:Thanks, Andy, for your kind words and for your continued business! You're one of the reasons we love our LBI House!

Greg and family. Love your little cottage by the sea! I truly have had the best times there the past 5 years! My favorite part is the lobster that sings! LOL...But seriously we love LBI and love the house!

Owner response:Thank you Amy. We're very lucky to have such amazing guests to our house. You treat the house like your own, and there's not much more we can ask of our renters. See you in 2011!

I want to thank you for a really great week. the weather was hot in the beginning and yes it rained yesterday all day, but it was great. My husband and i are considering renting the house for 2 weeks next year, if that works. We are expecting in November and i know that the house will be suitable for our new family. Let me know. We really enjoyed it.. I mean compared to my sisters house its just amazing.. I know my sister would hate me for saying that, but its just that she is upstairs of a 2 family and although we had some great times craming people into the place for many years, its just not fun anymore.. Conveniently located, but the walk from 22nd street was not bad, and im 6 months pregnant! Thanks again! Amy

After 15 years we finally got back to LBI with our family and it was a vacation to remember. The weather was the best of the summer, the water was warm and the beach was beautiful. Our stay at your house was wonderful. The house was a wonderful place to come back to after a busy day. My grandchildren cried when it was time to leave. Hopefully we can do it again next summer.

WE spent a chilly fall weekend at this lovely house. We walked the beach and bay, found a great breakfast place(Uncle Wills Pancake House)and just plain relaxed and de-compressed. Naturally and evening visit to Atlantic City (30 minutes away) further added to our enjoyment. We highly recommend this rental property.
