Property was just as pictured! Plenty of space for our family who all came to stay for a wedding. The outdoor space was gorgeous and so peaceful. Also lots of parking! Everything was really clean and the host was very easy to communicate with. We wouldn't mind staying here again if the opportunity presented itself!

Great Beach Getaway

The whole family had a wonderful time at this house. Plenty of space for the two families who stayed here. We really enjoyed the fenced in back yard so our dogs could enjoy the sunshine. We also loved the dock for fishing and crabbing. Quick and easy ride over the bridge to the island for beach time and shopping. Overall a great stay!

Great location!

We had a lovely time at this spacious house. The property is conveniently located to LBI and other attractions in Manahawkin. The house had a minor issue during our stay, which the owner promptly resolved. I would rent this house again.

Family getaway

House was beautiful and nice location. Neighbors home was a bit sketchy and made us feel a bit uncomfortable with our kids. Home could use some updated outdoor furniture and deck. Overall it satisfied our needs.

Multigeneration Family Beach Vacation

We had a wonderful week and enjoyed our stay at Dockside, Lagoon Getaway. The house is conveniently located to stores, restaurants, playgrounds and LBI. The backyard is completely fenced in so small children can be safe. The house was comfortable for 6 adults and 4 toddlers although the bedrooms are small and there was only one queen size bed. The kitchen was well stocked and puzzles, games and children's books were available for our use. Unfortunately, the dishwasher was moldy inside so we chose not to use it after the first day. We also noticed a lot of dirt, dust and even 2 dog bones under cabinets, beds and living room chairs when we were cleaning up our children's toys at the end of the day.

Great Location but….

Hello. So we did enjoy our stay and the location of this house was perfect. But thought I’d share a couple of issues with this rental: 1) we were asked to bring our own bedding( which is fine) however several of the mattress pad covers on the bed were disgustingly dirty! 2) the shower curtain liner in the downstairs bathroom was completely molded 3) went to use the couch on the porch outside and the seat cushions and the backs that were in the storage container were FULL of dog hair -so gross 4) there were 3 lawn chairs in the back yard- one was broken and couldn’t be used , one of the chaise lounges had a huge hole in the cushion. 5) the porch had an umbrella stand but no access to an umbrella - thank goodness we brought our own beach umbrella and beach chairs! For the amount of money we paid for 4 nights, I expected much more

Excellent Rental, Great Vacation!

We loved this rental property it was very clean, in a great convenient location, and was better than the pictures online even showed. The beach in the fall is a great vacation, so relaxing and only a hop skip and a jump down to our favorite beach town, Beach Haven and our favorite restaurants! Highly recommend this dog friendly VRBO. We would definitely like to rent here again only suggestion is a queen size bed on the main floor for those that have difficulty with steps.

Great family retreat

The house was a very relaxing and peaceful family vacation getaway. Convenient to everything but just far away from the crowds and traffic. Enjoyed our morning coffee by the water and watching the kids catching crabs at the dock.

Relaxing location on the water

We had a wonderful time! The house was spacious and in a great location. A huge plus that the backyard was fenced in so our little one could play outside. Perfect for boaters and those who love crabbing by the dock.
