Reduced Rate Only 2 weeks left!!GREAT FOR 2 FAMILIES! OCEANSIDE

I ditto much of what the last reviewer wrote, but I will say that I did not find any of the rooms small (I have stayed in much smaller) - the kids room has a bunk bed, two twins, and a trundle under one - even with the trundle pulled out, we still had room to put up a pack and play for our toddler! All the rooms were bigger than they looked in the photos (and I'm used to the opposite being true in most rentals). From the moment we walked in we were thrilled by the size of the unit, especially for the price. We thought this was great! There was even a nice gift for us in the kitchen that was so thoughtful. We also loved the location - a block from the beach, a block to Fellas for the best pizza you can get anywhere (I may be biased since I've been eating at Fellas since I was a child, but it is great!), a few short blocks to the produce stand and other shops too, across the street from the Big Dipper for ice cream after dinner, and of course right upstairs from great bagels and muffins for breakfast. We only took our car out twice - once to Old Barney, and once to Fantasy Island/Bay Village. The rest of the time we could walk anywhere we wanted to go. Again, I love Surf City because I have vacationed here since I was a child and I was so excited to bring my family to share some of my fond memories of LBI and create new memories. This apartment was an excellent place to do this.

Been going to LBI on and off since little, and for past 5 years in a row my wife and I have stayed 2 weeks every summer in Surf City (in my opinion, the best place to stay on LBI).

We've bounced around with our rentals.... Everything from huge 4 bedroom/new construction 'McMansion' (for $4000+ per week) to tiny 'barely 2 bedroom/in an old single level cottage' spaces that were 1/4 the cost..... So we experiened a large variety of rental spaces.

This rental was one of our favorites, and for the price it really can't be beat. Though some people may be hesitant to rent a 2nd floor condo 'over a business', there was really no issues while we stayed. In fact, since business closes at 3pm, from that time on you essentially have half a duplex where there is no one staying in the lower unit - no issues of parties, noise, complaints, etc from 'the other renters'.

In a nutshell here's my view:

On the outside:

- only one block from beach and on the ocean side of main street, so no worries about having little ones get to the beach safely.

- very spacious deck, good patio furniture, faces east so lots of morning/mid-day sun.

- outdoor shower clean and well built

- owner even gave us wagon to pull our stuff down to the beach

- parking is off-street and safe

- tons of great food places and shops in short walking distance

- if you want to rent bikes, Surf Buggy rental is only one block away

- you are basically at the midpoint of the island so going either south to Beach Haven (for amusement park, water slides, shopping) or north to Barnegat (lighthouse, antique stores, state park) are both only about 15 minutes drive.

- back over the causeway to Costco, Target, Shop Rite, etc. is very close,less than 5 minutes.

- beaches have recently been replenished (though that's a constant battle vs. mother nature...)

On the inside:

- surprisingly spacious

- kitchen is clean, well equipped, dishwasher is a plus

- 2 baths both with showers and both tiled (though one is a bit dated, but very clean)

- bedrooms: king size really IS king size, nice furniture, TV in every bedroom; other 2 bedrooms are on small side but both clean and all hardwood floor throughout

- wireless internet

- newer living room furniture, both couch and loveseat have built-in recliners - very comfortable room

- no central AC but 5 window units keep the place more than cool and also mask what little road noise there is - you don't feel at all like you are on main street.

- washer and dryer BIG PLUS

Loved it.
