Our home is nestled a short drive from the historic Smithville and Village Green, Renault Winery, LBI National Golf Resort, Long Beach Island Beaches, and Atlantic City offering the perfect blend of relaxation and exploration. Enjoy local favorites by taking a quiet walk along Graveling Point Beach, hiking the serene trails of Bass River State Forest, exploring the Tuckerton Seaport Museum or Barnegat Lighthouse.

Throughout the winter you can enjoy a festive holiday boat ride along Tuckerton Creek and holiday displays and treats at the Tuckerton Seaport, Ye Old Christmas celebration in Tuckerton, Historic Smithville’s Light Show, Magical Talking Tree, and Dickens Festival, indoor ice skating at The Show Boat Resort and Winter Wonderland at Bally’s The Yard in Atlantic City, shopping at Tanger Outlets, and so much more.

The location was okay — about 30 minutes from LBI. The closest beach was unfortunately quite buggy and not very clean. The indoor space was very clean and well-kept, though the backyard setup felt a bit chaotic. Unfortunately, my husband got sick, and we had to leave a night early. I asked about a partial refund for the unused night, but the owner wasn’t able to offer one.

House is adorable. And being on the water is amazing. We went swimming, crabbing, fishing and paddle boarding! Loved everything about this house. Bay beach was only 10 minutes away and LBI beaches were about 40 minutes. Definitely want to come back! Owner was quick to answer any questions, and even checked in on us after a bad storm.

Rained our entire stay. Still enjoyable even with 2 dogs! Back yard is completely fenced in so we could just let them out. Yard is primarily sand so it wasnt muddy when we brought them in.When inside you can still enjoy the beautiful view from the living room and kitchen table out of the sliding glass door. Look forward to our next visit! Rain or shine!

Cute place and responsive host

We had a nice stay. The host was responsive and flexible/accommodating with a few requests I had before booking. This was a great place for me and my 15 year old daughter. The beds were comfortable and the house had just about everything we needed (although my teenager was disappointed the snacks in some of the review pictures we had seen were not provided ). Sadly, the mid-March weather wasn’t cooperative for us to enjoy the spacious yard, ample outdoor seating and nice view. The wifi was great for remote work.

Great End of Summer Spot

My sons and I had a great stay to end our summer! It was the perfect spot! We were able to fish, canoe, and get to the beach. We weren't too far away from the beach and we easily could have stayed just at the house and enjoyed all the amenities that this house had to offer. We wanted for nothing and literally just had to bring ourselves, clothes and food, the rest was there! It was clean and organized. We will most definitely be back!

Sweet little cottage

Beautiful location and a lovely little house to match. Fully fenced back yard added peace of mind for our furry companion. Fantastic outdoor space with lots of seating, and a firepit for after dark family time. We didnt bring our fishing poles but a quick trip to the store 8 minutes away was an easy solution to that. My husband caught a crab that very night. A first for him! The host was very responsive to every question we had and the house was fully stocked with everything we needed. Highly recommended!!! Five stars all around!
