I think the title says it all but I will elaborate. Our family of five adults, two young children and three pets stayed at this home for one week. It is a terrific home - very clean, well stocked, kid and pet friendly and spacious with plenty of socializing room.
Kid friendly: the home had a number of items for children, including items to child proof the home. There was even a baby gate for the stairs! There were children's toys under a downstairs bed and there were also some sand toys for kids. My daughter loved playing with the sand truck.
Pet friendly: we had three small dogs with us. There is a spacious yard which was wonderful for them. It is unfenced but we had no issues with our dogs staying in the area. There is even a small bush area in case your critter needs some privacy. The SB police station is just a block up and has a large patch of green grass should your buddy need some more room.
Outdoor shower: the outdoor shower is amazing. No one took a single shower indoors during our stay bc of how spacious the outdoor one is. Lots of room to hose down kids or pets and the detachable shower head was very helpful in getting the sand off of the kids. It also has a little stool and an area to put your toiletries.
Kitchen: the kitchen is a nice size and also features a large washer and dryer. We brought detergent but there may have been some there. The kitchen is well stocked with a small box of some spices and there is S/P. The host kindly leaves you dishwasher pods and a new sponge, along with hand soap. Very thoughtful on the sponge, I had even packed one. There is also a roll of paper towels provided and TP. Bring garbage bags.
Beach access: this home is steps from the beach entrance. The location was wonderful. Two homes up from the beach. It made a huge difference when going back and forth with kids, to check on the dogs, etc. Also there is a handicap entrance just a block over.
Home set up: There are two bedrooms downstairs - including the master - which is great for folks who don't want to deal with stairs. Off the second floor queen, there is a lovely and large balcony that also connects to the deck.
Location is wonderful, near 72 so you don't have to battle traffic down LBI. It is close to shops and places to eat. When we had a small issue with the door code, the host immediately answered and was so helpful. He even had us in four hours early when the folks before us left a day ahead of time. So kind of him!
