Beautiful home in Holgate with great access to the beach (across the street) and bay. Super relaxing stay, with a house that has everything you need for a week at the beach whether you’re with a group of friends or with children. Loved grabbing coffee in nearby Beach Haven and reading books on the top deck with views of the ocean. Couldn’t have asked for better hosts and home to spend a great week on LBI. Would highly recommend!

Comfortable home with wonderful views!

We stayed in Holgate for a little over 2 weeks and enjoyed our time at the house. The home has great decks with the highest deck having a beautiful view of the ocean. The outdoor space was awesome with a firepit and four Adirondack chairs and a fully fenced in side yard with table, bar, grill and two loungers. Quick access to the garage from the fenced in space gets you to a half bath and many entertainment options such as ping pong and a shooting basketball carnival like game. They also have a mini fridge and freezer in that area l, making outdoor entertaining super convenient. At the end of the road there is a tennis court, basketball court and small playground for the kids right on the bay. We used that often and truly enjoyed it. Bowkers is a great little deli with good sandwiches and other items making for a very convenient quick trip just walking a few blocks up the road. Beach access is almost directly across the street and is on a life guarded beach in season. I can’t say enough about the owners as they were so easy to work with, incredibly responsive and truly care about your experience being a positive one. The home was clean and well appointed with linens, shower towels and tons of good beach towels and a lot of very good beach chairs! The outdoor shower is a must with back jets! Thank you to the Watermans for opening their home to us!

Amazing and helpful!

We had a wonderful stay! The location was perfect and the spot itself was absolutely beautiful. The hosts were amazing—so kind and accommodating. We ran out of toilet paper and they not only dropped off more right away, but also brought a bottle of wine (which they definitely didn’t have to do!). Such a thoughtful touch. We’d definitely come back again. Thank you for everything!

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.

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.

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.
