Enjoy a perfect, memorable family vacation in a contemporary home featuring 3 bedrooms, 3 baths, an open floor plan and spectacular water views from every room, located in The Coves section of Beach Haven West. Have fun and spend time together both inside and out! The living room with high vaulted ceiling has a cozy gas fireplace and double sliding doors that open to an upper deck where you can grill just steps from an outdoor eating area. The spacious lower deck, fenced-in backyard and attached dock has something for everyone! Sit back and enjoy the views from a comfy outdoor seating area, take out a single or tandem kayak for a trip around the lagoon, chill and chat in Adirondack chairs around a firepit, or play a game of cornhole. Bring your water toys and take advantage of 72 feet of dock/bulkhead, great for swimming, fishing, crabbing and more! You can also go on morning walks, runs or bike on our wide, peaceful neighborhood streets.

When the sun sets, continue the fun inside in our decked-out great room. A 130” projector equipped with Apple TV is perfect for movie nights. Or break out one of the many games in the storage coffee table for family game night! This room also has a spot for the gamer (or work from home) with a 32” external monitor you can plug right into. Another workspace is in the upstairs king bedroom with relaxing views of the lagoon for guests working remotely.

    Beautiful home right on the water in a quiet neighborhood. Perfect for our family vacation. The house has everything you need both inside and out. Owner is very responsive and accommodating. The outdoor decks and seating areas were great. It's only a short drive to LBI and other beaches. My family and I had a wonderful time and would definitely stay here again!

    We stayed at the Matilda for 5 days. Everything was exactly as described. The host was amazing and had a book with every question you could have about the house. The home was very clean and bathrooms were brand new. Lots of games and TV’s in the house for rainy days. All the beds were extremely comfortable so much so my kids wanted me to find the sheets that had on the beds. It was a very quick ride over to LBI for beaches and attractions.

    The house was beautiful and setup nicely for renters. Had everything we needed to enjoy! The lagoon is quiet which was nice, but easy access to the island!! Owners were fantastic! Communication was easy and they even left duck food since they knew we had children going! Would definitely recommend!
