Great property — perfect for our needs

Our stay was exactly how you want a VRBO experience to go. The booking and check-in processes were seamless. The cottage is in an ideal location. It’s private but right next door to the owners so they’re there if you need them, and are so nice. The cottage is spotless, well-stocked and superbly decorated. Overall, we loved it and have already booked our next stay there this summer!

AMAZING!

We had such an amazing week in Lavallette with our 5, 3, and 9mo! The cottage was perfect, it was so clean, updated, cozy, and convenient. No detail was missed and anything we could have needed was thought of. It was right near the bay beach and gazebo which was great for the kids. The hosts were so sweet, friendly and communicative. We are already planning our trip back!

We had the BEST time

If I could give 6 stars I would. The house was spotless and a great size for a family of 4. Everything was so simple- from the keyless entry, fresh sheets and towel, and modern finishes. I really appreciated the thoughtfulness, toddler rails were put on the bed, the beach wagon stocked with toys, and Disney music playing on entry. Also the location is awesome, in the heart of town by the park and shops!

Immaculate beach cottage

My family and I had a great stay at this Lavallette beach cottage. The place was spotless and well maintained, and was the perfect amount of space for my wife and two little ones. It was a great location as it was just steps away from the bay, and a 5 minute walk to the beach or surrounding restaurants. There was no need to bring any beach equipment as the rental had it all - chairs, umbrella, and toys for the kids. The owners were very friendly and always around in case we had any questions. Highly recommend and my family will look to come back here again!

Quiet & Relaxing

Great location—nice, quiet neighborhood on the bay side, but a close enough walk to the ocean beach. We could hear music playing at the Gazebo from the house, so we could enjoy the atmosphere while relaxing on the quaint patio. The cottage was close to basketball, tennis and pickle ball courts. Kristin and Michael were helpful during our stay. They offer plenty of supplies: beach chairs, sand toys, crabbing cage, corn hole game, and so much more.

About the host

Hosted by Michael and Kristin

Host profile image
As a child, my family rented the rear cottage for the summer season. When my husband and I drove by the property in 2015 and saw the sign 'For Sale By Owner', we knew our purchase was meant to be. Over the years, the cottage has been the source of wonderful memories for many families, and we invite your family to create your own happy memories.
