Wonderful Family Home On Ocean Block With Ocean Views From Rooftop Deck

Excellent stay. Beautiful home very nicely kept. Owner a pleasure to deal with. Great time had by our whole family. Can’t beat being on the beach block in LBI !

Lovely spacious home in a great location within walking distance of beach, tennis/pickleball courts, restaurants and ice cream. I especially liked the roof deck where you can view the lighthouse.

We had a great beach week. Arriving in four cars from different directions there was plenty of parking for all. The house worked well for us. With four bedrooms, two with twin beds and two with queens we had more than enough space for our family of six. The lower level, above the garage, has three bedrooms, two with twin beds, one with queen and a full, modern bath. There is also a family room with a deck. The master bedroom and bath are on the upper "living level" with a beautiful and spa-like adjoining bathroom. there is also a powder room. Be aware, though, you must provide your own sheets, towels, soap, etc.. The kitchen, also on the upper floor, has modern appliances and an excellent assortment of cookware and dinnerware. There are adjoining large living and dining areas, and we enjoyed the large deck with umbrella table and a couple of adirondack chairs. The beach walk is relatively easy with a wooden walkway partway and a wide dunes path used by the beach "tram". The shops and restaurants of Barnegat Light are also easily walkable from this lovely home.

The owner of the property had no idea i was comming to stay? I fullly piad for my retnal 4 months before? I only got the door code by sending several emails to VRBO the day before my trip, inspite of several request to learn the check in porcess in advance. until 3 hours before my arrival I had no idea how to access the keys! When we arrived the propety showed two large wet carpet areas on the first floor hallways to bedroom areas and the bathroom, and a bad smell like a cat had unirnated on the floor. The water leak issue continued for several days, and we were mopping up water by the buckets, with our beach towles, as we had nor other items to use to help mitigate the problem, while we waited to hear back from the owner. I was emailing the owner several times and having mutiple text back and forth for the frist two days we were there. We finnaly connected by phone directly and i strated sedning the owner picutres of her property leak, coming from the laundry room floor area and flooding thru her lower level walls onto her carpeted lower level. FInanly the second day she sent over a very nice man who could not find the problem, he came back the third day and finanly with my help figuered out waht the problem was caused by. We beggeed him to leave us whith a wet Vac and a large air handeler to help dry out the carpeting. The smell only got worse each day till about thursday when it started to finnaly dry out the carpeting on the lower level. The fan was so loud we could not hear each other talk. it also made the smell much worse as it kicked up all the oders into the rest of the house when we used it but we had no choice. The problem was caused by a clogged air conditioning drain that caused a water build up and the leak. The entier HVAC system in the laundry room was filled with about a half a foot of water in the base of this, and it was leaking out onto the laundrey room floor and thru the walls onto the carpeting bedroom hallways on the whole lower level. We could only use our beach towles to sop up excess wate until we got a wet vac which we used for over an hour dumping it several times to help dry out the carpeting even after the handi man left. It was a big dissapointment even thought the property itslef was a lovely home, the lack of proper maitance on the HVAC created a difficult problem and a terrible smell . The terrible smell only began to subside by Friday, our last day there before our departure on saturday morning.
