The house was very clean and well appointed, and the host was very communicative and helpful. Our family was very comfortable during our stay. The one drawback for us, traveling with suitcases from Florida, was the lack of towels in the home. A quick trip to the nearby Target for 5 towels was the solution. It was a very minor inconvenience, but atypical for us, at least. We otherwise very much enjoyed the house, found the property to be perfect for what we needed, and would stay here again.

Perfect, quiet family vacation

The house was beautiful and setup nicely for renters. Had everything we needed to enjoy! The lagoon is quiet which was nice, but easy access to the island!! Owners were fantastic! Communication was easy and they even left duck food since they knew we had children going! Would definitely recommend!

Wonderful family vacation!!

We spent 4 beautiful days at this lovely house. It was very clean and had everything we needed to feel right at home. The decks were great. Kayaks , paddle board and corn hole kept my family entertained. The ocean was just a short drive away and the beach was perfect. Definitely a place to make wonderful memories!

Amazing vacation

My family and I enjoyed our stay at this luxurious super clean home! This house had all the amenities you would while being on vacation. My children and grand daughter loved the kayaks, bikes to ride and the use of the fire pit. MaryAnn had great communication, the check in/out process was very easy.

Wonderful house!

We had such a lovely time at this house and would definitely go back! The location was great and the house itself was so clean and well stocked with everything we needed. The house provided so many amenities, including kayaks, paddleboards, bikes, corn hole, and beach passes. You can definitely tell the owners put a lot of time and effort into making your stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible.

Perfect Place!!

The location was perfect, the house perfect, the amenities perfect, our holiday there was perfect. This is a truly wonderful place: the outside lagoon side is well designed and lends itself well to outside enjoyment. What's also wonderful is that so many rooms have sliding doors to that open out to the decks. The additional amenities (kayaks, bikes, SUP board and grill) really added something extra and made it feel more like home rather than just a rental. We all felt very comfortable and relaxed there.

Great trip in Manahawkin

We stayed at the Matilda for 5 days. Everything was exactly as described. The host was amazing and had a book with every question you could have about the house. The home was very clean and bathrooms were brand new. Lots of games and TV’s in the house for rainy days. All the beds were extremely comfortable so much so my kids wanted me to find the sheets that had on the beds. It was a very quick ride over to LBI for beaches and attractions.
