My husband, two kids, sister, mom and I rented this home recently for a three night getaway during spring break. This was also our yearly opportunity to visit with my elderly aunt who lives in the area.
We chose this home based on its location to the beach, as well as its layout. My mother has mobility issues, so we have to book homes, restaurants, etc. for her with no or very few stairs. Because this home is just a few houses from the beach, and there is a bedroom and full bathroom located on the first floor, this home worked out very well for us.
The home is laid out nicely, was clean, is a very quick walk to the beach, has nice outdoor space and has a great balcony off the master bedroom with a view of the ocean. This is also our favorite location in LBI - within walking distance to many of our favorite restaurant and shops, as well as Fantasy Island.
Our only hiccup was right before we checked in. We have a 2 1/2 drive for our home to Beach Haven. As we were leaving our home, we still hadn't received the check-in information, so I messaged the owner through VRBO. Once we were in Manahawkin, I still hadn't received the information, even though it was just after check-in time. I found the owner's cell number and texted him for the information. He then responded relatively quickly. It was just a little frustrating having to follow up with him to receive information we should have received hours earlier.
Despite the minor check-in obstacle, our stay was great and I would definitely consider booking this home again. Steven, thank you for sharing your home.
