First trip to LBI & we loved it! Ship bottom is quiet & family friendly. Newly remodeled, clean condo, with pretty, neutral beach decor & comfortable furniture made for a very pleasant stay! Short walk to beach with traffic lights & cross walks.
Highly recommend for a family of 4 or 5, with school aged children. It is on the 3rd floor, up 2 flights of stairs, so be aware of that for the old and the young. Outdoor table was very nice & made up for the limited kitchen seating. Well stocked kitchen w/ nice appliances & a sink deep enough to bathe a baby (no bathtub). Bring a pan if you plan to use the oven, or you can use the grill outside. The space is very small but nicely laid out & worked out well for our family. We found most everything that we needed provided in this lovely home. The pull out couch is just a flat surface (no mattress) but we put an air mattress on top & it was good. The doors close off the living room between the bedroom & kitchen for privacy as a sleeping space.
There is nowhere to hang wet swimsuits or towels, and no washer or dryer or dishwasher, so just bring plenty of bath/ beach/ kitchen towels for the week.* :-) There are no beach supplies so bring your chairs, umbrellas & beach toys (beach tags are $25 for the week per person cash only). Walmart pickup is 15 minute drive & came in handy for anything we needed. The pictures are very accurate & we are so glad we found this lovely place on sort of short notice. :-) Thank you! *****
