Wonderful accommodations and a great location
Can't say enough about this rental. Second year we have stayed at the location and once again it did not disappoint. The accommodations are wonderful with large bedrooms, beautiful beach views and can't beat the beach across the street. Great communication with property manager and check in / check out was so convenient. Rental was clean and included many extras including beach supplies (blankets, chairs, towels, boogie boards, etc...). Highly recommend this location and will be back.

Fantastic Family Getaway
Howard’s house was great. Plenty of room for 6 adults and 2 children. The house was approximately a block from 2 beach entrances. It was perfect for our family and what we needed. The view from the porch was very nice. Everyone sat out there every morning before heading to the beach. We made a lot of memories and looking forward to making more in LBI.

We had a wonderful vacation at the Waterman house. Eight of us plus a two year old, ample space, everything we needed, plus room to entertain on the lovely patio below, easy going, friendly host. The linens and the towels were a big plus. Loved the outdoor shower. We will definitely be back. The Gallobs

Great first trip to LBI
We did not know what to expect of this vacation destination, having never been to LBI before; we are glad to have selected Holgate, which appeared more tranquil and serene than other neighborhoods, there was a great deli called Bowker's we could walk to, and the house is only about 2.5 miles from lots of fun activities/good shopping in Beach Haven (we also visited the lighthouse at Barnegat on a rainy day - one could easily stay in Holgate and Beach Haven the whole week). The house worked well for our multigenerational group. Level one/ground level is a garage with games and excellent beach gear, a half bath, and a bedroom with two beds and window a/c (we did not use this sleeping area); level two was a kitchen/LR, full bath with shower, and bedroom, plus deck with comfortable furniture that faced east/the ocean (it got hot there in the morning but was lovely from lunchtime on); level three was two large bedrooms (one queen, one king), washer/dryer, and Jack & Jill bath with tub/shower, plus another large, eastern-facing deck with great furniture - from which you can see the ocean.

Beach week!
We thoroughly enjoyed our family beach week in this lovely home. The neighborhood was quiet but only a short car ride to restaurants/entertainment areas with a great local ice cream parlor (the Boardwalk) very close. Check in was simple and easy and the owners supplied sheets,towels, beach wagon, umbrellas and chairs that made our days so comfortable!

Great Location and Hosts
I have been vacationing on LBI since the 1960’s. I have never stayed in the most southern end in Holgate. I loved it!! It was quite, the house was very clean, well stocked and did not disappoint. Would definitely rent this home again. The owners are very attentive and very helpful in answering questions.

Great house, great hosts
LBI has always been our favorite place for family summer vacations. Went every year for years with our kids and returning with them and the grandkids is a dream come true. This was our 2nd year staying at this house. We stayed 1 week in 2021 and loved it so much we did 2 weeks in 2022 and have already booked 2 weeks for 2023. The house has everything you need for a great vacation. Anything you need for the beach is available, from toys for the kids to umbrellas and chairs and beach passes. The house is completely equipped for cooking, games and sitting outside on the decks or the fenced in patio. 2 minutes walk to the beach that was never over-crowded and a short drive to Beach Haven stores and restaurants. Nice quiet area out of the busy rush of Beach Haven yet a 3 minute drive to anything you might need or want to do. Hated leaving but already counting down to when we will return. Again, thanks to terrific hosts who were available at anytime and sincerely concerned with their guests happiness in their home.

Sad it’s over
Another year at LBI in the books and we were very happy with our stay. The house supplied more amenities than previous homes we’ve rented. Beach chairs, badges, large beach towels, floor mats and hand towels. The mattress I was on was very comfortable (another nice change from previous homes). Communication with the owners was always quick and easy!

Nice house for large family
We really enjoyed the house. Has everything needed for the beach (chairs, umbrella, towels, badges, toys) and the older kids enjoyed having their own “apartment” on the first level. The living room area was slightly smaller than we hoped as our whole group (10 of us) couldn’t lounge in there together, but we made it work and enjoyed our stay.

We spent ten days in June 2021. We had a steady parade of friends and family, and everyone loved the house. The location is great, with constant breezes, the ocean right across the street, and gorgeous bay sunsets about a 3 minute walk. Free tennis court, basketball court and playground at the bay. The house includes everything you need. There were thirteen beach chairs, two umbrellas, eleven beach badges, beach toys and boogie boards all loaded up in a beach wagon. Sheets and towels provided, plenty of outdoor seating, umbrella table, grill and fantastic outdoor shower. Everything you need for a great beach stay!
