We had a great stay in Beach Haven West. The property was clean and right on the bay. The location was convenient and close to all. The owners were extremely responsive and helpful! Highly recommend for a family with kids if you’re looking to stay near LBI without the craziness.

Joseph was so great to work with! We had a lovely time. The house is clean and beds were comfortable. The back yard is lovely and being right on the canal is great! Easy to get to the beach.

Family-friendly, clean and cozy, host polite and responsive to questions. Only hiccup was it said linens were provided, which I thought included bath towels but that was not the case, only bed linens and dish towels were provided. There's a Walmart close so we were able to get some eaily. The Host also offered to order some from Amazon for us.

About the host

Hosted by Joseph Milano

Host profile image
Hello, my name is Joseph Milano. I am originally from Delaware county but settled down in New Jersey with my wife and 2 kids. We bought this house with them in mind, excited to share the magic of the Jersey shore while still enjoying the peace and comfort of having our own private space.

We hope that you and your family or group will do the same, enjoy!

Why they chose this property

While working and living in this area right after trade school, I got to experience what it was like enjoying the summers on LBI beaches, the wonderful restaurants and local attractions. Even during the off season it was great doing all the same things without all of the waiting or crowds that busy weekends can bring.

After moving around and finding a home in south Jersey, when it came time to finding our vacation home we knew exactly where we wanted to be.

What makes this property unique

While many homes in this area offer the same great location to the beaches, restaurants, and waterfront enjoyment, what sets our place apart is our focus on family amenities. Because we also use and enjoy this home, I wanted to make sure we didn’t need to lug around pack and plays, height chairs, kids toys, and other bulky items. We provide these amenities plus blankets, linens, pillows. This way you can cut down on the packing and spend more time enjoying the beach, crabbing off the dock, or just relaxing on the patio with a cold drink.
