We’ve rented on LBI for 30 yrs, mostly Beach Haven and Holgate so we have some frame of reference. This wasn’t a Top 5 but certainly wasn’t the worst. Best things: location, being pet friendly, good A/C, enough parking spaces, a decent outdoor shower & some cruiser bikes to use. Everyone who visited us agreed that they wouldn’t want to sleep in the lower level BRs (but probably would have in their 20’s)! In terms of value, our friends who rented beachfront NOT pet friendly for the same week had a much nicer place for a lot less BUT they had to pay to board their dogs so it was evenGerard was easy to reach and quick to respond to questions. No check in instructions were sent to us but when I reached out, he quickly called with details. And later as well when I couldn’t figure out why the AC wasn’t cooling the place he was super helpful & we got it nice and cool the rest of the week.So what makes it not the best? Some of it is aesthetic stuff (buckling wall panels from water damage, missing toilet paper holder, no lid on the kitchen garbage bin, baseboard heaters hanging off the walls, rust around vents, broken strips on the blinds). Some is functional - like the tiniest bathroom ever- not sure how a full house would share it. Beach chairs are included but many are broken - fine for just the two of us but larger groups may want to bring their own. We didn’t use the backyard/BBQs.Bring sheets, towels & blankets, but also include dish towels & a bath mat. No rugs upstairs.
