Family Fun - MDW Stay

Our family had a wonderful experience. The property is just as described by the host and the countless other reviews. 3 floors with plenty of space, and in a great location. You are 5 minutes from restaurants and activities in town. Across the street from the beach. The host has plenty of beach equipment for you to use, and games for kiddos adults to stay busy.

Perfection

We immediately felt at home in this beautiful and well appointed house directly across from the beach. Literally everything you need for a family gathering or couples escape is at the ready including all the practical things (kitchen, bath, laundry, etc.) along with a dizzying array of games and beach gear - including beach tags. The courtyard with grill and a large table, and the fire pit out front were very handy. Everything was spotless inside and out. The location is a huge plus, just steps from the beach as well as a brief stroll to the serenity of the Edward Forsythe wildlife refuge. With a short 7-10’minute drive you can also enjoy the shops and restaurants in Beach Haven. Above all Howie and Caroline were on top of every detail and were excellent hosts. We will be back and are so appreciative of the opportunity to stay in the comfort of the Waterman Beach House.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.
