The property was adorable it had a lot cabin vibe and beautiful inside. The beach was in walking distance and easy to access. The only downside was the towels/rags for bathing we only had one rag provided and 4 towels for 5 people so we bought some rags and a few towels and made it work. Other than that it was a great place to stay!!

The trifecta!

The price, location and vibe (teenagers added that) made for the perfect stay. The proximity to the beach was fantastic! We struggled with the hot water supply a bit, but would absolutely rent again!

Nice property little big for us, loved screened porch, but chosen for convenience to the beach. Two blocks and over the dune, without the over pricing like other houses. Fenced yard for our four legged kid. Thanks and will consider again.

Great Beach Cottage

This was a comfortable stay for our family (me, spouse, two teens, and our dog). There was plenty of room, beds were comfortable, yard was spacious, and it was a short walk to the beach. We hope to be staying again soon.

Great Home to stay at

My family has vacationed on OKI for generations, and this was a first time staying this close to the Old Bridge. We thoroughly enjoyed the house and found it easy to get to the beach as it is just across the street. We would recommend this home to our other family members, friends, and neighbors.

The property was exactly as described. The fenced on yard for dogs and sitting around the fire pit was just what we needed.

Very easy walk to the beach. The house was like sleeping in a mountain cabin but at the beach. I don’t have small kids, but I was very impressed with the bunk room. One whole wall is a chalkboard.

Beachy Vacation

Overall stay was great! Very clean and loved the yard for the dogs with outside hose to wash off from a day at the beach. The A/C had a little bit of a hard time cooling on the hot day, but overall experience was 5/5 stars.

About the host

Hosted by Matthew Jakubowski

Host profile image
We are a family of four with two children age 13 and 11 and they love it here. We have wanted a place at the beach since we were married and finally took the plunge in 2012.
We welcome our guests to our home and hope that you will treat it as your own and help us keep our things nice. Come enjoy and when you leave, write us a note and tell us who you are and what you liked about it.. and what we can do better as well to get you to come back!

Why they chose this property

We love mountain homes and love being around trees and shade but our hearts are at the beach as we love the sun and sand. So with this home, we got the best of both worlds. When you are hot and are done with the sun.. our house and lot is shaded so that you can sit out and enjoy the summer at the home... without sitting in the sun. The walk to the beach is a direct, one block walk.

What makes this property unique

This is not your typical beach house. Our beach cabin is a santuary and 'Everything's Just Beachy' when we are here and life stops. The skylight in the kitchen and open kitchen/livingroom floor plan adds plenty of light throughout the day. The fenced in back yard is perfect for kids and for pets. The home is located entirely on one floor and has only three steps up to the door of the home and is perfect for families with smaller children, older adults, and pets that stairs become a concern. There is no doubt that you will enjoy this little shaded piece of heaven.
