We stayed at XV Cedars for two weeks in December in order to be close to family and friends during the holidays. Found the offering on line in November and after reviewing many rentals on Long Beach Island we concluded that this home had everything that we were looking for. And it did not disappoint. To begin, the owners are simply so gracious and accommodating that we didn't want to leave. The home is on the water with a beautiful view and the interior furnishings and cleanliness we outstanding. The rooms we well laid out and the bedrooms gorgeous. Having to be there during XMAS and wanting to have a small Christmas tree present when our two year old grandson, visiting from Denver woke, Lucy informed us that there was a stand in the garage along with a tree blanket. Everything in the house was available to the renters including bikes, small boat, etc. Although we were there in the winter and not able to use all of the features available I would conclude that this home would be a great summer rental. Just can't recommend it enough.

What a beautiful home to stay in on LBI! The house is VERY spacious and well-equipped and the owner's were wonderful to work with. Staying on the bay is awesome and we couldn't have had a more wonderful visit. One of my favorite things about this home was the HUGE and beautiful outdoor shower! At the end of every beach day, returning with three SANDY children, it was so nice and easy to put all three of them in the shower together and get them washed, shampooed and ready for the evening. A mom's dream! :) Thanks so much for everything Lucy!

Pictures don't do this house justice. It is simply gorgeous! So very well-appointed, spacious, super CLEAN and felt like home. This house sits on the bay and the views are stunning! The kids loved crabbing, canoeing and just watching the various boats come up and down the bay. The inside of the house is great too... lots of space for hanging out. And the kitchen...oh, it was great! I'm a cook and the kitchen was one of the best surprises for me as it was very well stocked. I packed my own pots and a few utensils and didn't need them---the owners had everything! I also really loved how you can retreat to your bedroom and still enjoy the outdoors because every bedroom has a deck. This house is simply gorgeous and the owners are so very accommodating, responsive and friendly. This is a great house for everyone--- a family, a girls trip or a romantic getaway for two. Definitely the best vacation home in the area---We can't wait to go back!

Based on the pictures, we expected the house to be good...it was excellent. The house is well-appointed, spacious, and all the conveniences/comforts of home. It has the calmness of the bay and a quick 5 minute walk to the beach, with friendly Bill's Surf and Tackle shop in between. The views are spectacular and the configuration of the house provides plenty of space, whether hanging out in common areas or retreating to quiet bedrooms. The owner is hospitable and friendly.

My family really enjoyed this house. The location is right on the bay, my kids loved swimming,crabbing and fishing right off the dock. Great outside gathering space. The house is furnished very nicely and the the kitchen is modern and well equipped.The Master bedroom is very large including a sitting room and deck - the views are fantastic. The other bedrooms are all spacious. The owner is very responsive and friendly. We look forward to going back.
