Situated just a few blocks from the ocean, this house offered everything we needed: a clean house, comfy beds, 2 showers (indoor and outdoor), as well as a bonus rooftop deck! Also, whether heading out for the day or night in Lavallette or Ortley, everything is within comfortable walking distance, which we enjoyed! Greg was nice enough to meet us at the property, answering any questions we had. During our stay, it was good to know that he was nearby if needed.

The house was very clean and neat, much like listing. Rooftop deck was great any time of day. There was also additional seating in front and back deck (back could use more than one chair). Location was great with an easy walk to the beach. Plenty of parking in the area (although we were there off-season. As for thing’s missing, we cook a lot when we travel so these things are important to me they may not be to you. A Cutting board that isn’t glass would be a huge plus (not sure why people but these, to me cutting on one is like dragging fingers down a Blackboard), knives in kitchen were very dull (which happens with a glass cutting board). So either better knives or a knife sharpener. A few decent pans would be nice as well, especially a smaller non stick one. The one non stick pan isn’t the greatest. The other pans are adequate. The apartment is on the darker side, lights are compact fluorescent and really don’t provide enough light. While I understand linens aren’t included the lack of a bath mat or hand towel to me takes it a bit to an extreme. There are no beach chairs either so be prepared to bring your own. Outside gas grill and seating were fabulous. I also appreciated the spice rack in the house. Overall it was a good stay.

Stayed with two grandsons for Memorial weekend and it was the perfect beach house for us. Owner was very responsive and helpful. Wish we could have stayed longer.

Gregg was very easy and nice to deal with .house was spot on to my expectation. Great location

Greg was a superb host. Great communication, clear house instructions. Clean, modern and well appointed accommodations. Location was great. Convenient walking distance to all on a quiet street with ample on-street and off-street parking. We would rent again!

We had a wonderful stay at this property in Lavallette. Great location and in walking distance to beach, bay and restaurants. Property was clean and comfortable. Roof top deck is very relaxing after day at beach.

We had a wonderful time, house was lovely. Location was great for beach and easy walk to lots of places to explore and enjoy in town - bakery, pancake house, ice cream parlors, restaurants. Would definitely recommend the house and location. Thanks Greg for sharing your home. Susan

Loved our stay! 1st is location: it was great! 3 blocks to beach, 1 block to bay, easy walk to restaurants, shops, and entertainment. 2nd is the house: immaculate, clean, comfy, and nicely equipped. The drip coffee pot, toaster, and gas range made for easy breakfast prep that ended up not really being needed once we tried the Sand Dollar Pancake House and Colonial Bakery ( both 2 blocks away and both recommended by Greg...outstanding!!) The beds were comfy, the washer and dryer were newer than my own and immensely helpful to have on hand. The roof top deck an absolute delight that we used every single day. There is a great seabreeze that never seems to end up there. The house is raised so there are lots of steps, which I was concerned about however I needn't have been. My 87 yr old grandfather who came to stay for a visit was able to get up and down with his cane and the help of the really sturdy handrails. He even got up to the roof top deck to enjoy a happy hour and we all had an absolute blast. Greg and his family are very proud to share this rental and their pride of ownership and pride of Lavalette really showed. From Greg's recommendations on food, to the thoughtfully appointed home away from home. We have used VRBO succesfully in the past, but I have to honestly say this was by far one of our favorite places to stay, and that is in large part due to this beautiful home. Oh, and the outdoor shower ROCKS!! Super hot and cold water, great pressure, a seperate foot rinse faucet and a dressing space meant I didn't shower indoors the whole time and am now considering installing an outdoor shower of my own and we don't live any where near the beach. Haha! Thanks so much Greg and Ann (and Greg senior who we also met during the week!) You have made our family vacation easy, memorable, and comfortable! We will be returning again for sure!
