The photos don't do the house justice

Stayed: August 2011
There is so much light and space in this house, right down to the choice of furnishings by these thoughtful owners. We, two families, made of three adults and three kids, thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Here's what you should know: the interior is beautiful, with decks in front and back and on the roof.
The hosts were wonderful, responsive and kind. Our stay was delayed one day by Hurricane Irene (Sunday, August 28, 2011) and they were in touch with us before, during and after the storm, and had the house ready for us by Monday morning.
The kitchen is brand new, spacious, and a pleasure to eat in. There are two master suites, both so ample we didn't fight over which couple got the "best" one. The Bose sound system is wonderful, and has an extension for your iPod.
If you don't know LBI, this is the quieter side of the island. It's less crowded, but has several great places to eat including four ice cream parlours and an EXCELLENT coffee shop in Viking Village to which you can walk.
The beach is one block away. This meant that we could eat either breakfast or lunch at home and still be there early. OR, go to the beach, set up (with kids, this is half the battle) and anyone could walk home for a bite, a nap, or a bathroom (even more essential with kids!) quickly and easily.
Needless to say we are big fans. We'll be renting there again.
