If you book for 2 consecutive weeks, you will save an additional $250 off. We also allow 10 and 11 night rentals. Wednesday to the following Saturday. Or, Saturday to the following Wednesday. This way you get an entire weekend in and avoid any traffic on a Wednesday arrival or departure. Our home is located at 266 N 5th Street in Surf City on Long Beach Island, NJ and is Pet Friendly. Our home is just a 5 minute walk or a 2 minute bike ride to the beach or bay. We supply 6 Beach Badges during your stay. Once on the Island, our home is less than a mile, so no traffic to deal with. By car, we are just 5 minutes from the mainland and 45 minutes from Atlantic City. Many restaurants, ice cream parlors and quaint shops are in walking distance, so park the car and everything you need is close by including the famous 5 & 10. If you want a home and yard that is cleaned to perfection by my wife and I for 3 hours, versus a cleaning service for 30 minutes, then our home is the one you want. Only the owners will take the care it takes to make sure everything is in good working order and is cleaned right down to the remotes, door handles, outdoor shower and the barbecue grill. We also wash all the linens, towels and have all the beds made for you. By arriving by 1:00, you will beat the traffic of the 2:00 and 3:00 check-ins, you can then grab our beach chairs, umbrellas, 8x8 cabana, beach towels and head to the beach. You will get almost the entire day in. Save more time by leaving earlier and stop at ShopRite on Route 72 East for all your food and then you will be all set when you come back from the beach by not having to go out again. If you show up, say by 12:30-12:45 to put your food away, that is fine. Hard to time it down to the minute, we rather you be early so you can get more time to relax. We won't be in your way, as by then, we will be outside cleaning the grill, outdoor shower and pulling out any weeds. Surf City is one of those classic LBI towns, a place where folks come year after year. And in the last several years, Surf City has become something of an artist enclave with galleries like the MT Burton Gallery, Firefly, Swell Colors & Solace Gallery. The eateries have stepped it up as well, as Baked on the Beach, Dio's Cafe, LBI Table, Northside Bar & Grill, Wally’s, and the Sandbox, have added to the scene. Maybe you’re into those time-honored LBI traditions like Panzones, Surf City Pizza, LBI Table or Scojo’s. The Yellowfin, on 24th St. is one of LBI’s best restaurants. Russo's Italian Restaurant is fantastic. Surf City is also loaded with cool treats in the summer like the Big Dipper, Rita’s, Scoops and Aunt Ollie’s. Our Surf City vacation home is just a short walk from the beach and amenities. Whether you are looking to take our 2 kayaks for a cruise around the bay or rent a sailboat, play tennis, launch your craft from the Surf City boat ramp, or head to the traditional Surf City hotel for music and dining, Surf City has it!

Fully loaded kitchen and has everything you need if you decide to cook. If we don't have something you need, just buy it so the next person has it to use and we will pay you for it. Washer, dryer, vacuum cleaner and a Roomba i robot vacuum available when needed. We are a NON-SMOKING home that could sleep up to 6 on our very comfortable beds. Enter through our front door with a keypad lock to the 4 digit code you choose, which makes it very convenient. We have two living areas, the Living Room for watching TV that seats 10 and a Sun Room with seating for 5, along with an added eating area for 4 at the table. The Sun Room is off the kitchen, which leads to the deck. We have a large Weber natural gas grill, which we clean each week. There are two double chairs with a table in between along with a foot rest is on the deck. Walk out to our large fenced in backyard that has a picnic table that seats 10 and has an umbrella and a shade tree with a hammock under it. Or lay out on the 2 lounge chairs. In the backyard, is our large private outdoor shower with a changing area. Our bike rack is towards the front of our home which makes it very convenient to be able to just hop on one of our 6 bicycles to get anywhere on the Island. In the Dining Room, you have a large new table that seats up to 6, in the Sun Room, there is a table for seating for 4. We love having breakfast in that room with the sun shining in. If you have friends stop by for a barbecue, you have enough seating for 10 at the tables inside plus 14 more outside. Our home has lots of room so everyone is not on top of each other. There are 3 bedrooms. The front bedroom off the living room has a queen bed and a new half bathroom. The middle bedroom has a queen and a twin bed. The back bedroom has a queen bed and the full bathroom is right outside the door. We do limit our home to a family of 6, but you are welcome to have a few guests come visit, as it's nice to have friends and family visit while on vacation. Our large private fenced in backyard makes it nice for small children and if you have a dog. We are located on one of the widest and quietest streets on the island with plenty of parking. You can fit 4 cars on our property and 3 in the street in front of our home for any quests. If you have an electric car, just plug into the 240 volt EV outlet located inside the fence by the gate. Since all our neighbors are full time residents, you don't ever have to worry about any of your guest finding a parking spot. We rented ocean block once and we never had a spot to park, as the people that come for the day, take up all the parking spots. We also will allow up to 2 non-shedding dogs for a fee of $50 per day, per dog for your stay with us. We can't allow shedding dogs, as people could be allergic to them. We also ask that they are up to date with their shots. We allow dogs, as we had rented a shore home a number of years ago and we were able to bring our 2 Portuguese Water Dogs, instead of boarding them in a kennel. It was our best full family vacation having them with us versus knowing they were alone in a room by themselves. For this reason, we have decided to make our home Pet Friendly. When we have guests with a dog, we will have our dog bowls out, 2 dog beds, dog toys and treats for our dog guests! This way you have less things to pack. Just bring their food and leash. At the end of your stay, please leave any beds slept in unmade so we know which beds needs to be washed and made for our next guests. We take those sheets home to wash, as there isn't enough time to wash, dry and make all the beds. We do not charge a cleaning fee. As I mentioned, we come and clean our own home ourselves which also allows us to make sure everything is in good working order each week so everything is perfect when you arrive. Hired house cleaners don't check items, as it's not their home. No chemicals are used for the weeds, as we don't want to pollute the groundwater or put any children or dogs in danger. We hand pick them. Why rent 2 or 3 hotel rooms, when you can have 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 2 living areas, a dining room, outdoor shower and a full kitchen? Plus a fenced in backyard and everything in our home and shed to use along with 6 beach badges? Or why spend 2 days flying and spending over $4,200 or more just to fly a family of 6 somewhere when you can spend 7 or more days with just a short drive to beautiful Long Beach Island during the best time of the year?
