About this house rental

This Long Beach Island, NJ vacation rental in Ship Bottom is the third home from the beach and offers magnificent ocean views from the living room, front deck balcony and kitchen, and ocean and bay views from its rooftop deck. It features 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, an outdoor shower, living room with 75 inch flat screen TV, fully equipped kitchen, high-definition cable, high speed internet, washer/dryer, off street parking and two zoned central air conditioning and heating. It is located on a wide street with ample parking and is only 2 short walking blocks to the Barnegat Bay Watershed and nearby Marina. Swimming, sunbathing, fishing, crabbing, kayaking, jet-skiing and more are all just literally steps away, as is many of Ship Bottom's family day vacation conveniences, including two miniature golf courses, a small arcade, bakery (that boasts the world's best jelly doughnut), ice cream, candy, pizza, bagels, shops, cafes, restaurants and, for the ultimate convenience, a nearby Dollar General store.

So, come and indulge yourself and your family this summer with a beach vacation to Ship Bottom, Long Beach Island (colloquially known as LBI). This narrow 18 mile barrier island off the New Jersey coastline boasts some of the most naturally beautiful beaches on the east coast, as well as hundreds of boutique shops and fine restaurants. Recently, LBI was ranked the 4th most ritzy summer locale in the country, behind only Nantucket, a tiny island off Cape Cod, Massachusetts, Martha's Vineyard, and Montauk, Long Island (August 2022). The island is almost always the coolest of all of New Jersey's barrier islands on hot summer days due primarily to its location. It is approximately 30 miles north of Atlantic City.

LBI operates a free shuttle bus service, seven days a week, from 10 am to 10 pm, servicing all 18 miles of the island.

Vacationers looking for a break from the sand or the surf can spend a day doing other fun things. Travel to the north end of the island and sight-see Barnegat Lighthouse State Park or shop Viking Village. In Beach Haven to the South, one can take their little ones to the Fantasy Island Amusement and Water Parks, experience the Black Pearl Pirate Excursion, or visit the Museum of NJ Maritime History.

In the evening, one can quietly wind down and relax on one of the two outdoor decks while listening to the waves of the ocean crash against the surf, or enjoy many of the island's nightlife spots, including Joe Pop's (walking distance), Terrace Tavern and Nardi's Tavern & Grille.

This home features a master bedroom with a king sized bed, a second bedroom with two twin beds and a third bedroom with two sets of twin bunk beds, comfortably sleeping 8. It is perfect for one large or two small families. This home was not flooded by Super Storm Sandy. It was fully renovated with new furnishings in 2017.

Linens and towels are not provided.

The house was beautiful, clean and in a perfect location just steps from the beach. The roof top deck was a great place to have your coffee watching the sun come up in the morning. Ron was a pleasure to rent from and I will definitely rent this house again. Can't wait to come back again!

Though the weather wasn’t good during our stay, we can’t say enough good things about this beach house. Super close to the beach. Very close to the bridge to the island. Walking distance from Ferrara's Island Bakery for delicious Jelly Donuts. Close to shops, restaurants, church and retail. Roof top deck (in good weather) is amazing. Light switches and cabinets are clearly labelled. Owner very responsive to questions via VRBO app. Would stay again.

My husband and I spent Thanksgiving weekend at “Third From The Beach” which is really “Third From The Beach.” As accurate as the listing was the in-person is even better. The first thing we noticed, besides the beach, was how immaculate the house was and from there nothing disappointed. The house is beautifully decorated and filled with all the amenities needed. The living room has comfortable couches, large windows that let in great light and a balcony where you can sit and have coffee. The kitchen is well appointed plus amazing views of the bay and ocean. Bedroom and bed very comfortable. And the rooftop deck, even in November, was a wonderful place to stargaze. The location couldn’t get any better. The house is on a pretty residential street close to beach, bay, shopping and restaurants. Don’t think you could get a more gracious host. Ron was immediately responsive to all of our inquiries and was warm, friendly and extremely helpful. No question we will be returning to “Third From The Beach.” Thanks Ron, Susan and Dave

Ron was great as far as any information needed, even though everything was as stated in description on VRBO. Location right in Ship Bottom was great, and very short walk to the beach. The best for us was the rooftop deck! Awesome view, and pleasantly surprised there was the kite festival on same street , which we could watch from rooftop. Will definitely stay again.
