30 years on LBI, four years in this house ... great landlord, great Surf City location, quiet street, plenty of on and off street parking, storage for bikes, chairs, surfboards, half block to the library, easy and quick access to the causeway, one block to grocery store, couple of blocks to CVS. This is not a North Beach Mcmansion, rather a well equipped, well maintained, clean, well applianced, air conditioned LBI single family cape that easily accommodates eight or nine people. Owner's photos represent the property honesty. Kitchen is adequately equipped, has new appliances and is reasonably roomy... offers a full dining area for eight people as well as a breakfast bar. Hardwood floors in LR and DR and two first floor bedrooms...recently painted... upstairs bedrooms are particularly roomy, carpeted, equipped with queen beds and one has an extra TV. Upstairs bathroom has been updated and both bathrooms are clean and spacious with windows. Yard is maintained with sandy pebbles and walkways ... Backyard patio is private, equipped with table and chairs and is great for game playing or dining. Grill is included. First floor includes full laundry. Landlord has been accommodating to us from the beginning, appreciates returning guests and maintains the property in a manner that respects his renters. Lease is straight forward and security deposit returned without any complications .. Nothing here is luxurious, but the price is fair ...the location is great and the property is maintained... we keep coming back ... Surf City is a great multi generational family vacation spot... on North side of island ... not as exclusive as Loveladies, but not as crowded as Beach Haven .. nothing on the island is particularly commercial ... small, independent shops for ice cream, mini golf or bagels... Most of the homes in this area are single family and many are owner occupied. Beach itself is wide and beautiful and tended by lifeguards. If you need oceanfront you'll pay $5,000 and up ... bring linens, an umbrella, beach chairs, your surfboard and a bike ... owner supplies beach badges... sunsets are glorious, waves are super and ocean temp is usually 70-75 ... great stuff ... we're coming back again ...

Owner's Response: Thank you. It has been a pleasure having your family rent from me over the years.
