The house was lovely. Beach is so close- fourth house to the beach. Amenities just a short walk- pizza, icre cream, coffee, bagels, sandwiches. Small, but wonderful deck that you can watch the moonrise over the ocean Property manager was very helpful. Recommend using PeaPod as they will deliver. We had a great week. Make sure to visit the lighthouse in Barnegat Light. Thank you!

The house and property were great, the location was fabulous. I spent a week of bliss enjoying my grandchildren. The beach was so close. Property manager was very responsive. Thank you!

Our LBI vacation this year was awesome! We stayed the 4th of July week and there were little to no crowds. We have been to LBI many times and loved Harvey Cedars and this house. The house is quaint and charming. It has all you would need for a great family vacation. The property manager was great- rental process and check-in/out was a breeze. Being so close to the beach made it easy to go back and forth for lunch or a break from the sun and sand. Weather was great. There was 10 of in all, my sister, her husband and two kids, our parents, and my family of four. My parents loved the cottage.

We loved our beach vacation and really enjoyed being 4 houses from the beach. Loved the house, the beach and just everything our time in Harvey Cedars. Thank you Tom!!

Our return to Seafoam was wonderful. We love the charm of this Historic Gem on a very quiet street. We have a large group that spreads out over both the main house and cabin. We never feel crowded, as there are lots of little hang out spaces. Tom the house manager is great and quick to respond. We have been going to LBI for 40 years and Seafoam is our new home. We are looking forward to our return in 2018. Let the tradition continue!

I grew up going to the NJ shore. After moving to another state as an adult, I wanted my family to experience my favorite memories growing up. I found this beach house and immediately fell in love. The house is very roomy and can accommodate a big group. There are areas to sit, read or play a game. Taking a nap in the sun-room, is a favorite with many of my family members. There is a two story apartment at the back of the property, which makes for a nice vacation with extended family. The beautiful Harvey Cedars beach is just at the end of the street, and over the dune. It's great to be able to walk back to the house for a quick lunch or snack or a bathroom break. The beach is private and requires a daily/seasonal pass, and there are Life Guards on duty daily. The island itself, has a Lighthouse you can climb, beautiful dunes to hike, lovely shops and restaurants and plenty of opportunities to go biking. This beach house, is located at the Northern end of the island . A short drive down to the southern end offers miniature golf, a watermark, amusement park and lots of kid friendly activities, I can't say enough about this wonderful house, my family has enjoyed vacationing here and making our own wonderful memories at the Jersey shore.

These two cottages were absolutely charming and perfect for our family, and just steps from the beach. Each kitchen was very well-stocked with everything you could need to prepare family meals, and within walking distance from restaurants, ice cream parlor, and liquor store. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend Seafoam; we plan to return soon.

The location was fabulous- a few steps from the ocean! When we arrived we found the house (and cottage) to be clean and very well equipped. There was adequate space. Our daughter, husband and grandson stayed in the "cottage" and we stayed in house - it worked out perfectly! I have family who live year round in HC and they thought house was fabulous when visited us! Listing description was accurate, and the owner provided great service. I would recommend this property to anyone! There are plenty of "things" to do but since we have so much family in HC , we spent most of our time with them

This rental property reminded me of being in Nantucket but without the cost!!! There are very few properties on LBI for rent that have retained their vintage charm like this property. Lovely cottage inside and out with lots of nooks and crannies to get away and be by yourself or hang out with everyone in the large living room or kitchen. Can't wait to rent this again!!! We were a family of 7 and were always able to find our own spot to run away and "hide."

Sea Foam is a real historic treasure in the family-oriented section of the Jersey Shore. The street the house is on is very quiet with very little traffic. The island is narrow in this section so we were able to walk both to the beach (during the day) or bay (for sunset) within a few minutes. In 2017 we brought our Stand Up Paddleboards and spent some time exploring the bay near the Harvey Cedars Marina. In 2018 we are going to try and find a place to go up near the lighthouse. SeaFoam has numerous places to lounge, relax with a good book or visit with family/friends. A favorite spot of ours to all be together is at the big table in the kitchen. Also, everyone in our group loved taking showers in the outdoor shower. We are still trying to recreate that feel in our own homes! The house manager, Tom, was quick to respond to all our questions and everything was exactly as described on the website. We have already booked and are looking forward to our trip in 2018!

Whether it's biking, jogging, paddle boarding, kayaking, boogie boarding, sailing, tennis, or a quiet spot for R&R, this cottage in the Harvey Cedars section of LBI provides quick & easy access to all my favorite activities. You have a comfortable, clean, quiet home, that's seconds from the beach, minutes from bay, and at a great price point! Thanks for the memories :)

What a gem! Hidden among the modern behemoths. This cottage feels cozy but has plenty of roomy places to congregate, as well as nooks to get lost in a good book. Big, open kitchen is perfect for cooks, and the giant table welcomes a feast! Hard to believe that the place is nearly 100 years old, as it is incredibly well-cared. Great location so close to the beach!

We were looking for vacation homes for our extended family and found your beach house. My husband and I are in our 50's, we have my in-laws who are in their late 80's and various kids and grands. The two older couples were at the house the whole time with the younger generations off in every direction- beach, bay, lighthouse, Fantasy Island, etc... We have been coming to LBI since we were kids and just adore it. This was the first time trying this whole family thing and we loved it. The in laws were somewhat limited on mobility so the walk to the top of the dune and the bench was perfect . The price was great for the location. The house was charming and quaint. Booking was easy and the property manager & were very helpful. We are are ready planning for next year.

My family works all over the country and very seldom get time together, so to find a place like this to have time together was such a blessing. We were so grateful that we found this relaxing peaceful home so close to the ocean and the town. This home had everything, a relaxing area for everyone. Plenty of room to stretch out and so many activities- the ocean, the bay, restaurants, sitting in the sun. The outdoor showers were great after the surf and sand. The house was clean and well maintained with everything we needed to cook was there. This is definitely a place we will return to just to hang out and enjoy the beach. Thanks for sharing your wonderful home!!!

I am appalled at what another traveler wrote and I must set the record straight. The property manager indicated they had a suspected issue two weeks before I arrived and the situation was addressed by professionals. He indicated to call him immediately if we found or suspected anything. The owner delivered a gift card for the local ice cream shop after the house was inspected for the third time. The concern for enjoyment was evident by both the property manager and the owner. When we arrived, the owner was there to greet us and give us a tour. The house was wonderful, a fantastic little cottage nestled in among gaudy three story behemoths. The house was tidy and well loved. The whole was classic shore living. The walk to the beach was very short and town was just a short walk as well. The house as a great fit for use- My parents, my wife and I, our two young kids and my brother and his wife stayed in the cottage. We are already looking into dates for next year. I would highly recommend this rental for

This was our second year to this house. We found this house on VRBO last year and rented again this year. As the first and only rule of real estate is Location, Location, Location- the property is literally 84 steps from sand and is on 84th street. The beach is wide and uncrowded. The owners of this property are wonderful caring people who obviously want their guests to enjoy the property as if it were their own. They have thought of everything!! The owners gave us two extra nights in the cottage for free, as originally they had planned to be there part of the time. Booking was as easy as sending an email and mailing a check. The professional cleaning crew was just finishing up and the owner was even there to greet us as we arrived to greet us for the second year. They were very responsive. The house and cottage are quaint and cozy. The kitchen is fully stocked with utensils, plates, pots, pans, etc. We all enjoyed the outdoor shower, sunrise on the deck, BBQ'ing, cooking and drinking, beach days, cycling Long beach Blvd, walks to town. You name it we did it and the location of this property was perfect for it all!! We were a group off 10, ranging from 2 years old to 84 years old. The upstairs bedrooms were perfect for the adults and the "sleeping porch" was perfect for my 22 year son.

My family and I arrived on a Saturday for a weeklong stay while my sisters family rented the cottage. We didn't expect a modern mansion, but we were expecting a clean house with "modern ammenities" as the ad said. The house was old, dirty, run down and clearly nothing was updated since the early 60's. The ad says there are 5 bedrooms when in actuality there are 4 bedrooms and a dirty futon with mildew on it at the front entryway to the home. They called this the "sleeping porch". The windows are dirty with many that won't stay open unless you put a stick in there to hold it up. All the furniture is 50+ years old and very run down. All of the appliances in the kitchen are over 25 years old and there are no GFI outlets near the bathroom or kitchen sinks. Clearly the electrical is not up to code. There are a few window AC units but they are all dirty. One bedroom has a floor unit jammed between 2 twin beds, which I thought was very dangerous. While we laughed that it would be an experience and we'd "rough it" for a week, the last straw was when we found fleas in a bed in the cottage and had flea bites on our legs. Since we had 5 children, we left the house and told the property manager about the fleas. I was appalled to find out they had a exterminator come to look and since he didn't "see" any fleas they didn't fumigate and even rented to another family after us. I found this highly irresponsible. This is a house I would rent in college, certainly not one I would rent with a family.

Thanks for sharing your house with us we had a great time and the weather was great. Loved the proximity to the beach. The house was a classic, loved it. I didn't want a new construction monster how that was antiseptic. The pictures do it justice.

Our extended family came down for the Memorial Day weekend. The house was quaint and charming- the pics do a good job. The location is perfect, the beach is just steps away, the bay is just at the other end of the street, and town is 2 blocks away- ice cream, restaurants, shopping, et... The beach was awesome- close, not-crowded, a lot of space, and low-tide was perfect for the kids to play in tide-pools. We rented the house in the front and the cottage in the back was perfect for my in-laws. Loved the outdoor showers and deck, the screened in front porch was such a bonus. Wifi, flat screen and cable were nice to have. The owner was great and made sure everything was taken care of.

My family rented both the main house and cottage for a week. The location was perfect - situated in a nice, quiet area and easily accessible to a lovely beach. The house is neat and clean and old-time Jersey shore as pictured in the photos. The outdoor showers are great. The kitchens are well-stocked and the yard was perfect for family barbecues. The owner was very easy to work with and we would not hesitate to rent either house again. This listing is on the mark as advertised and we highly recommend it.

Our family spent a wonderful week at this house (front only) and enjoyed every minute. #1 is access to a fantastic beach--uncrowded, gentle slope into the surf, and beautiful. Neighborhood was extremely quiet. The house itself is perfect for those who miss the old Jersey Shore and the feeling that real people have lived in and loved the space. Appreciated all the conveniences and nice touches (reading lamps, adequate outlets, fans, plentiful seating, good shower, etc.) My near-90 year old mother did well in her own small bedroom with bath that is off kitchen, and the rest of the family and friends had plenty of room to spread out around the house. Thank you so much for a great time!
