The house was very comfortable for the eight of us (all adults). The kitchen was well equipped, and it was great that we had access to the laundry and also the garage. We really enjoyed all of the balconies for chatting, reading, or early morning coffee.We were so happy we were able to bring our dogs. It is getting harder every year to find pet-friendly rentals on LBI. The surrounding streets are all pretty quiet, so walking the dogs around the house was pretty stress-free.The location of the house was great, with a lot of places within walking distance. We really enjoyed the Northside Bar and Grill and the several ice cream places within a few blocks.
