Coastal Charm Steps from the Water– Your Breezy Beach Block Bungalow Awaits!

This is our second stay at this location and we love it! Once you enter in the door a calm is waiting for you. You have everything you need to kick back and relax. Simply our kind of place. It is near the ocean that you can hear the waves especially if you use the porch. The owners are available should they be needed but we have not needed to contact them. The property is.straight forward and the instructions are simple.

This property has a lot of potential thanks to its excellent location near the beach, pet-friendly policy, and walkability to restaurants and shops. Being right off the causeway makes it convenient to get on and off the island, and the space offers plenty of beds on paper.Unfortunately, our stay revealed multiple issues. Cleanliness was the first disappointment: we found a soiled bathing suit in a drawer, socks outside, empty marijuana packaging under a bed, mouse droppings on the fridge, expired food in the kitchen (2013 expiration) a dirty grill with an almost-empty propane tank. For a property charging a cleaning fee, this was unacceptable.Maintenance and safety also fell short. A broken step with rusty brackets posed a hazard, exterior doors weren’t properly secured, & basics were missing or broken: ill-fitting sheets, not enough utensils, a blender without a base, no toilet paper holder, and TVs without working connections. One TV was left on the floor mid-installation.The listing promised WiFi and functioning TVs, but we received only one login and instructions that didn’t work. Sleeping arrangements were misleading as well—two “beds” were on an un-air-conditioned porch, and one room lacked the queen bed advertised. The claim of space for 14 guests was unrealistic.When concerns were raised, the host was dismissive, blaming “summer renters.” With updates and proper care, this home could be fantastic, but in its current state, it fails to deliver on its promise.

Location will not get better at this price point. Unfortunately that was the only good point. It was not clean at all. The property is in major need of rehab. The kitchen including pots and dishes were gross. The grill was also very dirty and someone left a cooking misshap inside. The deck is in need of repairs. Bedding and towels were almost non existent luckily we usually bring some. The listing said washer and dryer were available. They were not nor were beach passes. Outdoor shower was very primitive but we did enjoy it. So if you bring your own cooking stuff bedding and towels, and don’t mind cleaning the kitchen and bathroom it’s a great spot. Oh and it claims to sleep 14, and it does have beds everywhere including the front porch, but 6 was pushing it.

Great location, spacious with an authentic beach house feel! Enjoyed relaxing on the porch with a book hearing the ocean on a comfortable single bed.

We arrived to find others at our booked & confirmed house on LBI..After driving 4 hours in a storm withy kid and dogs, we had to turn around and go home. There were no rentals anywhere to be had. VRBO refunded our money, but that was it. Ruined our 4th of July vacation plans with family. Not sure we would trust a booking again.
