Steps to the Beach - HEATED POOL, Elevator, AMAZING Rooftop Views! NEW, Modern!
"Shamrock by the Sea, LBI" - Who says you can’t have it all? Ocean block (only 2 to the beach), in-ground HEATED pool, elevator, modern living!
******PLEASE READ BEFORE inquiring - we only rent from October through April on Vrbo. ******
PLEASE DONT INQUIRE FOR MAY - SEPTEMBER STAYS, the answer is no.
*****NOTE - NO Proms, Graduations, or groups under age of 25*****
FRONT AND BACK DUPLEX – This listing is for the front unit (A) of a reverse living, contemporary style duplex. It looks as good in person as it does in these pictures! Available in the off season with a 2 night minimum. Price includes a changeover cleaning. Linens NOT included, but can be rented locally.
We are the third house from the beach, with Ocean & Beach Views, and consists of three stories. The ground floor has inside parking for one car as well as a dedicated stackable washer and dryer. Two additional cars can be parked outside, in front of the garage. Up to the second floor where you will find three bedrooms and two baths with beds to sleep 7 people comfortably. The master bedroom has a gas fireplace and its own bathroom with an extra-large shower that has two shower heads and an extra-large vanity/mirror with two sinks. ALL of the bedrooms contain high end Sealy Posturepedic mattresses with plenty of pillows for a restful sleep after a long day on the beach. Up the stairs to the third floor where you enter the living room with a gas fireplace and 50” Samsung SMART LED HD TV. Past the living room is the dining area with lots of windows and ocean views. The Kitchen is a modern kitchen with wood cabinets and granite counter tops with stainless steel appliances including refrigerator, range, dishwasher and microwave. It is well stocked with all you the equipment and utensils you need to cook and dine in. Want to take in the fresh air? Two sliding glass doors open up to a balcony with more ocean and beach views. Still want more views? Head up the spiral staircase to the Roof-Top and Sun decks and take in breathtaking panoramic views of the ocean, beach and island. YOU CAN NOT FIND A BETTER RENTAL VALUE IN SHIP BOTTOM!
You can also enjoy the spacious fenced in backyard with BBQ area and heated in ground pool! This shared space (with the back unit in this duplex) features a 4ft deep in-ground heated (to 85 degrees) pool with steps and a sitting wall. Two Weber gas grills and dining tables gives plenty of cooking/eating space for everyone to enjoy! To rinse off the salt and the sand from the beach, there are two outdoor showers, one in the back yard near the pool and one on the east side, both shared. In addition, we have two dedicated (one for each unit) enclosed outside showers on the west side of the house! That's 4 outside showers! PLEASE NOTE" Pool and other outdoor amenities are not available from October - April.
Need an elevator? This unit has that too and its available on request for an additional $200/week charge.
LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION! – If you are going to vacation “down the shore” you have to stay near the beach! This house is JUST 43 STEPS from driveway to beach walkway. Stay Ocean block and walk to the beach without crossing any roads. In addition to being close to the beach, this house is close to the causeway so you don’t have to wait in “Island Traffic” when you want to come or go from LBI. Major chain store shopping, including Shop Right, Wal Mart, BJ’s, Costco, Kohls, and MANY others are just 10 minutes away (on mainland). Want to stay local? No problem! Within 3 blocks you have a CVS, 7 Eleven, Wawa, Seafood Market, Surf Shop, Arcade, Mini Golf, Ice Cream Pallor, Bike Rental, Shops and Restaurants including a Pancake House and the “Best Burgers” on LBI! Want to explore other parts of the Island? Barnegat light is just a 15 minute drive to the North and Beach Haven is just a 15 minute drive to the South. Don’t want to drive, take the FREE LBI Shuttle just a block away!
ENTERTAINMENT/TECHNOLOGY - For inside entertainment, this unit features Samsung SMART WiFi connected LED TV’s located in the living room and master bedroom. Logon to your favorite streaming entertainment providers including Netflix, Hulu, Pandora and more or cast video from your mobile devices to these smart TV’s.
HEATED POOL
We open the pool each year in April and have it heated and ready to use by May 1. It is serviced weekly and we maintain it at 85 degrees from May 1 through the beginning of October (through Chowderfest weekend). So come stay with us in May and September and enjoy great savings off in-season rates!
Have additional questions? Email or text them to me and if I don’t answer right away, I will try to respond within 24 hours.

About the host
Hosted by Duane Watlington
My wife Kathy and I were born and raised right here in NJ and grew up vacationing 'down the shore' on Long Beach Island. We love Ship Bottom and hope you will enjoy staying in our home as much as we do! If you have any questions, please feel free to text or call us at 732-236-2185.
Why they chose this property
This property is a dream come true for my wife. We spent the first 8 summers of my children's lives vacationing in a house just a stone throw away from this location. Some day we dreamed of owning a little piece of this relaxing island paradise and in 2013 our dream came true! We like this area for its beautiful wide beaches, quiet family friendly neighborhood, and convenient, central location. Easy access on and off the Island is also a big plus and now we have the FREE LBI else could you ask for?
What makes this property unique
Once you step out on to the roof top decks, you will see why we chose this house. Watch the sun come up out of the ocean or go down into the bay. Panoramic views from one of the highest roof top decks in Ship Bottom. Then, when its time to go inside, relax with all of the comforts and conveniences of a modern home. Our guests tell us the nicest feature/benefit we have is having a pool in a ocean block rental. You have the best of both steps to the beach or steps to the pool. Spend your mornings on the beach, afternoons by the pool, cocktail hour on the roof top deck to see the sun go down! Then walk to your favorite restaurant, mini golf, or ice cream. Park the car and enjoy your beach vacation down the Jersey Shore!
