About this house rental
This house has it all!! This upgraded reversed living vacation home is located on the ocean block in Barnegat Light, New Jersey. A new kitchen and new bathrooms highlight the upgrades. This year a new master bath has been added. This brightly colored, lavish bathroom boasts a new double sink with Corian counter top and an oversized shower with an accent waterfall. Enjoy the sunsets from any of the three decks along with ocean and bay views. This house is situated on the beach block where a small boardwalk leads you to the sand.
Because the home is designed as reversed living, you enter the front door and walk up the steps to find yourself on the first floor where the three bedrooms, den, laundry room and large bathroom are located. There are two bedrooms with 2 twin beds in each one and a third bedroom with a queen size bed. A newly upgraded full bath, laundry room and den with private deck complete the floor plan on that level.
Continuing the walkup, the second floor plan is open and the high ceilings in the living room/dining room/kitchen area create an open and airy feel. A large deck with BBQ grill is directly off the kitchen. A spiral staircase off the kitchen decking will take you up to a fiberglass deck that provides breathtaking views. The recently renovated Master Bedroom and Bath suite with queen bed is also on this level. Finally this top level has an additional half bath.
The custom kitchen is very well-equipped making it easy to prepare family meals. After an active beach day, enjoy the outdoor shower located in the rear of the property. Amenities include Central Air, Dish Washer, flat screen Smart TV and Wifi.
Convenient tractor-tram helps families get to the ocean. The short boardwalk at the end of the block connects to the tram. It's a great convenience for elderly persons or young families with children. It runs about every 20 minutes from 10 am until 5 pm with a one hour interruption from 1-2 for the driver's lunch.
Specialized sand wheel chairs are available to rent from the town. The Municipal offices are on 8th street where you can get updated events going on in town. Additional beach badges can be purchased on 10th St. adjacent to the tennis courts. The sunsets from the large decking off the kitchen are incredible. The nights are magic.

Multiple generations of my family enjoyed our stay at Escape Hatch. Close to the beach, mini golf, the lighthouse and restaurants. Plenty of room for everyone and a great view from the roof deck. Hope to be back!

The location was perfect for independent kids to roam and have fun on their own. The house was great but I'd recommend a few upgrades such as the couches weren't very comfortable along with the beds. There also wasn't a television in the upstairs room. The house was clean, check-in was very easy and it fit our needs perfectly. Note that there aren't beach chairs with the house so bring your own! Great stay and great location.

The owner of the property had no idea i was comming to stay? I fullly piad for my retnal 4 months before? I only got the door code by sending several emails to VRBO the day before my trip, inspite of several request to learn the check in porcess in advance. until 3 hours before my arrival I had no idea how to access the keys! When we arrived the propety showed two large wet carpet areas on the first floor hallways to bedroom areas and the bathroom, and a bad smell like a cat had unirnated on the floor. The water leak issue continued for several days, and we were mopping up water by the buckets, with our beach towles, as we had nor other items to use to help mitigate the problem, while we waited to hear back from the owner. I was emailing the owner several times and having mutiple text back and forth for the frist two days we were there. We finnaly connected by phone directly and i strated sedning the owner picutres of her property leak, coming from the laundry room floor area and flooding thru her lower level walls onto her carpeted lower level. FInanly the second day she sent over a very nice man who could not find the problem, he came back the third day and finanly with my help figuered out waht the problem was caused by. We beggeed him to leave us whith a wet Vac and a large air handeler to help dry out the carpeting. The smell only got worse each day till about thursday when it started to finnaly dry out the carpeting on the lower level. The fan was so loud we could not hear each other talk. it also made the smell much worse as it kicked up all the oders into the rest of the house when we used it but we had no choice. The problem was caused by a clogged air conditioning drain that caused a water build up and the leak. The entier HVAC system in the laundry room was filled with about a half a foot of water in the base of this, and it was leaking out onto the laundrey room floor and thru the walls onto the carpeting bedroom hallways on the whole lower level. We could only use our beach towles to sop up excess wate until we got a wet vac which we used for over an hour dumping it several times to help dry out the carpeting even after the handi man left. It was a big dissapointment even thought the property itslef was a lovely home, the lack of proper maitance on the HVAC created a difficult problem and a terrible smell . The terrible smell only began to subside by Friday, our last day there before our departure on saturday morning.

We stayed at Maryjane’s beach house with another family and had a great week! The location is perfect, beach at the end of the street and short walk to ice cream, mini golf and a few restaurants. Highly recommend this house for large groups. Plenty of space, we were four adults and four kids. Would love to stay again!

THE HOUSE
Exactly what we were looking for. Easy walk to the beach, roof deck with great views, couches made for flopping. The photos don’t do it justice. All bedrooms (and beds) are comfy. The upstairs master is huge with its own full bathroom and a delightful little powder table. I believe the description on VRBO mentions that the bed in this room is a full. It isn’t – it’s a queen. The kitchen/dining/living area is wide open, airy and just lovely.
The three decks are excellent and I’m a deck guy so my standards are high. The lower deck is cozy and shaded and perfect for reading a good book or a trashy novel. The main deck on the upper level is huge, with a grill, round glass table, and plenty of room to boot. Up a sturdy spiral staircase is the roof deck made for stargazing. I think we saw about a dozen shooting stars up there. Magical.
The outside shower is nice and spacious though it could use some ventilation, like a little space between the walls and the roof. But it serves its purpose nicely.
Here are a few things that we forgot to bring but you should not: hand towels for bathrooms and kitchen, plus extra towels to use as bathroom rugs. There are a couple of frying pans and a nice big lobstah pot, but if you plan to do any serious cooking or baking you might want to bring your own sauce pot or baking pan/dish.
The owner hires a cleaning crew to do an extra thorough, deep & disinfecting cleanse between tenants, which was much appreciated and helped put our minds at ease.
THE LOCATION
This was my first time staying in Barnegat Light (I had been a Beach Haven loyalist until this year) and now I want to move there. Trees. Friendly folks. Just the right amount of small, local businesses. Daily bike rides along the bayside were just what the doctor ordered. For one magical week, I was in the best shape of my life.
The ninth street lifeguard stand is the last on the island. Keep walking north and the beach becomes more and more secluded, more and more relaxing. After a few blocks you’ll be at the inlet jetty, with giant jigsaw puzzle rocks that are perfect for clambering, scampering and exploring.
THE HOST
She’s welcoming, kind, gracious, and communicative. A delight to work with. We hope to stay at this practically perfect house again.

Maryjane was absolutely a pleasure to work with during the entire process. She was responsive, polite, and provided accurate details regarding the property. The house itself is beyond perfect and exceptionally clean. The house has awesome space and multiple outdoor decks to enjoy with views of the local beach! We rented the house as guests of a Wedding in LBI and could not be happier that we chose Maryjane's property! The house is perfect for families and friends looking to relax on wonderful LBI. Thank you again Maryjane!

This is a fantastic house. It is huge. The space it provided made us so comfortable. The three decks (yes, three) are SO cool! The house was spotlessly clean. All the furniture is comfortable. It’s in a beautiful, quiet area. There is so much to offer here. Maryjane was a lovely host and gave us all the info we needed leading up to our check in.

Barnegat Light getaway
What a lovely home! It was very clean and spacious. It had pretty much everything anyone would need for a beach vacation. The location was perfect for Barnegat. Walking distance to shopping and restaurants. Nice beach location as well. I would highly recommend this home.

Very spacious, comfortable, clean beach house
A well kept, very comfortable home just a short walk to the beach tram.
Inside has plenty of living and separate sleeping space.
The outside deck is great for breakfast and dinner, with a roof top deck for sunsets and star gazing.
The owner was always prompt, pleasant and easy to work with when coordinating the comings, goings and other details.
Highly recommend - except on 'our' week' :) Can't wait to return.

This house is the best there is. It is spacious, well kept and clean. The bathrooms and kitchen are brand new. The upstairs living area is large and wide-open and opens onto one of 2 decks so you can catch a cool breeze from the ocean which is within walking distance. The beach here is serviced by a trolley so no burning your feet on hot sand here! This family friendly house is in a quiet neighborhood close to the lighthouse and all that Barnegat Light has to offer. We have been coming here for years and are so lucky to have found this house. Looking forward to our visit again next year!

Great beachhouse!
This is a beautiful house for family vacations! Top floor living space is a great area for everyone to gather. We love the adjoining deck and the beautiful views of the ocean and sunsets from the roof deck. Nice walk to the beach or lighthouse and shops.

Awesome family beach getaway!
Our family has been renting this house in Barnegat Light for a week in the summer for the last few years. The location is excellent, with kid-friendly places in walking distance, and the fun of Bay Village close enough to visit, but far enough away to ensure peaceful nights. The house is very large and comfortably fits eight. Great kitchen with options to dine indoors or on the first deck. Second deck is perfect for watching fireworks or sunsets. We always look forward to our LBI vacations in Barnegat Light.
