We shopped for a beach house on Long Beach Island, because it is quieter than some other New Jersey Beaches. We prefer beaches with no boardwalks and large hotels. We specifically fell in love with Historic Beach Haven because of its charm, the beautiful homes, and the quiet neighborhoods. After looking at almost 20 houses, we found this gem. The moment we stepped inside, we just fell in love with house. On the outside, it looks like a charming beach cottage, with the fabulous wrap around screened porch, but the inside has been recently updated with modern ammenities, without losing the charm. The two staircases lead to fantastic bedrooms upstairs. After we stayed in the house the first time, we felt like we were right at home, and we didn't want to leave. The former owner said the house would wrap its arms around you and make you feel right at home...and it did.
