Beach Block House in Barnegat Light

Everything was perfect! Thank you Heather and Jim for making us feel right at home as soon as we arrived.

Tremendous place to stay! The DeVores made us feel very welcome, especially with a lovely gift to commemorate our upcoming wedding.

Located in a quiet area that is an easy walk to the lighthouse, mini-golf, ice cream and sunsets on the bay. Lots of comfortable rooms with bathrooms. Plenty of space in the kitchen / dining great room.

Everything was okay. A little crowded but we managed. (2 days of rain didn’t help). All in all great to be at the Jersey Shore.

The hosts, Heather & Jim, were incredible. Anything we asked they responded to immediately. The house was exactly as described. It is well stocked with loads of plates, pots & pans, silverware, spices, glasses, serving pieces, cooking utensils, etc. This was the best house we have stayed in at the NJ Shore in years and by far the best hosts! I highly recommend it.

I rarely write reviews but felt compelled after staying at this wonderful home. James and Heather could not have been more helpful from the start. We had a multi-generational family vacation with ages ranging 2-70 and they answered every question we had along the way. The house itself is beautiful. The en-suite bathrooms were nice to give everybody some privacy, and every room had a balcony entrance which made moving around easy. The kitchen, kitchen table, and living room all have ample space for a large group, though you will be spending all of your 'home time' on the massive deck. A grill and a fully stocked kitchen made meals a breeze. The home provides beach chairs, umbrella, and a cart if you need it. The outdoor shower - with hot water - was perfect for rinsing off multiple kids at the same time. Huge driveway fit 5 cars for us but in reality could probably fit 8 if you tried. Barnegat Light itself is a beautiful, quiet town yet has a few restaurants and a grocery store to fill any last min needs. This is a place where you go to relax, not to party. There are a few ways to get to the beach. Walk thru the path thru the dunes (it is a beautiful walk), drive down a few blocks and park and walk, or what we found the easiest is to take the tractor which swings by every 10m or so and is just a few minutes ride to the beach. This was easiest for the elderly people in our group, and a novelty for the kids. The beach itself is huge, clean, and never felt crowded, even in July. Will be staying again, and would highly recommend this house.

Wonderful

We thoroughly enjoyed the house and being near the lighthouse park. The area is more quiet than other parts of the island and we felt nice and secluded. We enjoyed beautiful sunsets almost every night and rode our bikes to get ice cream at Poppy’s afterwards. The house was a little musty but we aired it out as much as we could. It’s been renovated but still needs a little work. It had plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms so we could all have our privacy at times. The kitchen/dining area had a giant reclaimed wood table that we thoroughly enjoyed our meals around, and the decks all around the house were great for coffee talk and afternoon happy hours. The beach is a bit of a walk on a sandy dune trail which is beautiful, but it was very difficult for our older family members to manage. We ended up driving further South to go to the beach most days for easier access. Overall we had a wonderful experience and would happily stay again.

Everything from the check in/check out process to the local know-how provided by Heather and Jim was a dream. Barnegat Light was such a perfect little town with the beach, mini-golf, ice cream, and a state park all in easy walking distance for everyone. The house was lovely and comfortable and the magic drawer was such a kind touch. It was just a perfect vacation location!
