The home was better than the pics show. Perfect for our family 5 with young ones. The deck has so much character, along with the home. No other place on LBI has a deck as beautifully landscaped. Super close to the beach.

I wanted a quiet retreat at the beach where I could read my books, enjoy the beautiful weather, walk on the beach, catch the sunrise and the incredible bay sunsets and spend precious time with my adult kids. I found it all and more at this quaint, well appointed, updated beach shack! We had the best week!!

Shore To Book Again

Our family had a wonderful time in Surf City. The location was perfect for easy beach access. The home owner was very nice, we felt very welcome in his home. The home itself was even nicer in person, excellent space for the five of us, with an outdoor patio ideal for ending our days. We already discussed coming back as a family.

Surf City Cottage by the Sea

The outdoor living space included in this rental is a plus. We enjoyed all of our meals outside, then caught the sunset by the bay, returning to the cottage to enjoy the deck on the warm Summer evenings. Hope to return next year! We even had the pleasure of meeting our hosts, Bob and Joann.

Enjoyed a beautiful week for a friend who cherished the get-a-way in this home that was very clean and accommodating. A simple wheelchair ride to the beach, and the 1-floor living was ideal. The central location made meals easy, and the sunsets were priceless. Thank you!

Great stay at the Tack Shack!

We had a wonderful week at the Tack Shack! The how was extremely clean, the owners were very responsive any time we had a question, and the location was amazing. We took our son to the park almost every morning and it was a very easy walk to the beach! We loved being so close to local shop and restaurants! Perfect size for a small family and a week long stay! :)

Lovely Property & Prime Location

A clean, well appointed, lovingly cared for beach home with prime location. The beach is a block away and sunsets a short walk to the bay. Coffee shop, mini golf, restaurants, bike rentals, tennis, pickle ball, and ice cream all within walking distance. Large outside deck provides additional lounging and grilling space. Wonderful and attentive hosts. I highly recommend this property for your next stay on LBI. We are definitely returning.

Nice!

Nice location, one block to beach and two blocks+ to bay. Unit was well equipped. We stayed here in early May and of course it was a little chilly some days esp on the beach. The hot water baseboard heat had to be repaired which took a few days but worked well afterwards. Good communication with owner. Though next to a fairly busy road it was pretty quiet. How You Brewin coffe joint was very close. Walkable distance to restaurants. Nice big sunny front patio area perfect for morning coffee. The owners did a nice job in making this legacy home comfortable for renters.

Great old home feel right by the beach

Been coming to LBI for 40 years. This place has the charm of the old LBI that I remember growing up in with enough room for my family for two weeks. Nicely appointed inside for a rental and had a great patio space. (patio did need blowing off due to pine tree debris but there was a blower available to use by asking landlord). Good outdoor shower space as well. Just 1 block from the beach entrance and 3 blocks from where 3 other rentals worth of family were staying with lots easy to walk to, so the location was perfect for us. It sits behind a pool & spa company building that insulates some of the boulevard noise and generally it was a quiet place. Bob and Joanne are welcoming and friendly hosts who were around on the weekends staying upstairs with their dog. Bob was responsive to texts and checked in with us in person on the weekends. Would come again!

Our family of four really enjoyed our stay in Surf City. The house was the perfect size. Good kitchen set up, just what you need for a vacation. We had fun playing some of the board games provided, hanging out on the deck, grilling and the outdoor shower was a huge help with two sandy kids! Easy to walk to park on bay side and the beach one block east. Lots of family friendly restaurants near by.

About the host

Hosted by JoAnn & Robert

Host profile image
Hello - Welcome from Bob, Christine, Stephanie & JoAnn (as Pictured). After 40 years vacationing at the Jersey Shore, 25 years in Surf City, LBI (10 years exploring the island looking for the perfect property) - we chose our 'dream home at the beach'.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with Surf City because of its easy on and off the Island access, family community living with private streets, easily & safely walking, riding a bike from beach to Bay (for all ages). Our home is only one block from the beach and a 2 minute walk to the bay, stroll to the islands best Coffee Bars, Restaurants, and Shops. Launch your boat, kayak, jet ski at bay just down the street. Younger children will love the well appointed playground one block away as adults enjoy the tennis and pickle ball courts.

What makes this property unique

Our home has been fully renovated for comfort and offers conveniences you enjoy in your own home. This duplex (ground floor/Unit 1) cottage has a 'great-room' main living space for convenient kitchen to living room socializing space. Step out the front 'sliding-glass' door to an expansive patio that easily seats 8 as friends and guests join you for lunch/dinner/drinks, grilling and a day at the beach. The home provides a private 'wash-room' with washer and dryer and private door leading to your outdoor shower.
Bedrooms are appointed with industry leading foam/hybrid beds so you wake rested and ready to enjoy beautiful LBI.
