About this property

Our single family bayfront home in desirable Long Beach Island (LBI) NJ is located on a protected cove and dead end street. It has the charm of a beach cottage, yet has the amenities you are looking for... central air conditioning, washer, dryer, dishwasher, microwave, and outdoor shower.

Ship Bottom has now been ranked by nj.com as #9 in the list of the "25 greatest NJ food towns no one knows about" and you can walk to most of them. Also, within walking distance is the beach, swimming bay, playground, miniature golf, bars and convenience store.

If you want to relax, you and your family (friends) can hang out on the deck or the covered ground level space and enjoy being on the water. If you like activity, the water is calmer here for kayaking, paddle boarding, floating, boating, crabbing and fishing. You are welcome to bring your kayaks, wave runners or boat to our dock. The Boatyard (waterfront beer garden) is close enough to get there by boat or kayak.

A few blocks away from the bridge, our home is convenient to the Cedar Bonnet and Mallard Island wedding venues and other smaller wedding places.

Wedding weekend down the shore :)

We had such a great time at Diana’s lovely home! I stayed with a few friends all in a bridal party for one of our best friends wedding. The house was perfect for the weekend and really made our time while not at wedding events so enjoyable. Diana was so responsive with any questions I had throughout the stay. We would love to be guests again in the future :) thank you for having us!

Wonderful getaway

We truly enjoyed our stay. It was so easy and relaxing. The house was very clean and it was really nice to be on the bay. Diana is easy to communicate with and accommodating. We didn't have any issues while we were there as everything is kept in good condition and easy to figure out. Would love to go when it's warmer to enjoy the bay a little more but it was very peaceful and serene.

Furnishings and beds are comfortable and well maintained. Would love to rental again when the occasion arises. Thank you!

Scenic Cove

Sitting outside on the deck was delightful, always something new...,.an entertaining, rather vocal duck family, sunrise, sunset, the quiet serenity of the nighttime lights reflecting on the water, a soothing, sometimes misty breeze: all in all relaxing. Lovely neighbors on the block were fun to meet.

We will be back!

We really enjoyed our stay at this sweet home so nicely decorated and comfy. The dock was so much fun, the crap traps at the house made it that much more fun for the kids. It was so nice being right on the bay. Looking out the windows and seeing the water and boats and beautiful homes across the water. We took nice walks in this nice neighborhood too!! We will be back for sure!!

Wonderful house with a stellar view!

An extremely comfortable home with great views of the bay. Everything about our trip was enjoyable. From a very simple check in process to spotless accommodations. We really liked the house with very comfortable seating areas and nice size bedrooms. We also loved the outdoor dining area on the waters edge with a large table to sit the family. Can’t wait to go back!!!

Situated on a quiet street right off the bay, this home is sure not to disappoint. The homeowners were very accommodating and made every step of booking the rental very easy.

Lovely Weekend Stay

We stayed in this charming property for a weekend wedding. Diana generously provided towels and sheets for us, which was a huge plus since we were coming for a short stay. The property is right on the bay and there's a nice porch out back to soak in the sun. Overall, a seamless renting experience and would definitely recommend!

Quiet Cottage on the Bay

Our group of four adults shared this clean and well-stocked home for three nights. It's located in a quiet neighborhood within walking distance of several restaurants and the ocean beach. We prepared fresh seafood each night and had plenty of cookware and dinnerware (shout-out to Blue Claw Seafood Market for their amazing crab cakes!) While described as a 3 bedroom house that sleeps seven, the third bedroom is quite small, containing only a twin bed and side table (no a dresser or closet). The sunroom (with hide-a-bed) faces East and is a really nice space. The outdoor seating area under the deck was a great place to hang out and the dock was handy for a quick dip in the bay. I wish we'd had time to do a little crabbing with the provided crab traps! Overall, we enjoyed our stay and found the owner to be friendly and helpful. I would definitely consider staying there again.

Perfect Beach House on the Bay!

Our recent stay was lovely, the house is well appointed, clean and in a quiet location. You can rent kayaks or a pontoon boat at a nearby marina. There is lots of outdoor space for dining/entertaining. The master suite on the top floor was large and private! Overall, a great house and a great week at LBI!

Perfect house for our weekend regatta. Great set up and convenient to everything.

This house was perfect for our stay. Super clean and bright, it had everything we needed for our weekend stay in LBI. The owner was very thoughtful to tell us about LBI, the stop lights, bestnaces to eat, closest grocery etc. she was very responsive to our questions and requests. Loved that she provides beach passes! We will definitely stay here again when we return to LBI.

About the host

Hosted by Diana Castle

Why they chose this property

I have been coming to LBI my whole life. I love the beach but enjoy being out on the bay. There is so much to do: crabbing, waterskiing, wave runners, paddlebaording, kayaking, or just floating on tubes. When this house became available, it has the best of all worlds. Right on the bay and just blocks to the beach. It has all the modern amenities, yet the charm of the older cottages, similar to the one my parents still own.
