Ocean and Bay on LBI!
About this house rental
Perfectly situated just six houses from the bay and eight houses from the ocean! Water in both directions and easy access to both. Take your pick, many different activities to choose from, and gorgeous views from the roof deck! This is the entire second floor of a duplex house with a nicely furnished roof deck, and a second rear deck off the kitchen. Both decks are private to this unit. The house is located on a great residential street, very little vehicle traffic, and at the end of the street is a small public park complete with a 700-ft long stretch of sand along the bay, kid's playground, tennis court and basketball court. At the other end is the beautiful ocean beach that LBI is known for. Walk with the kids to the bay or the ocean, bike around the neighborhood, play at the bayfront park, or venture into nearby downtown Beach Haven. This is an updated unit with central A/C, new furnishings throughout, large-screen TV and high-speed wireless internet. The rear deck off the kitchen has flexible table seating and a Weber gas grill, great for outdoor meals, and you'll have shade there during the afternoon to take a break from the sun. In the evening head up to the large roof deck to enjoy the amazing sunsets over the water on the bayside! The roof deck is fully furnished with a large dining table set and separate conversation furniture set for dinner and relaxing after a long day at the beach. There are two beach cruiser bikes available for your use during your stay. Lots of folks start the day on LBI with a leisurely bike ride, run or walk up and down the main boulevard. And since this is the southern-most part of the island (less than 1/2 mile to the end and nature preserve), vehicle traffic in the morning is light and there are more pedestrians and bikers than cars. This unit has a private outdoor shower on the ground floor and four off-street parking spaces. Beach badges are provided. New for 2024 - Linens and Bath Towels are provided. The home is just 2 miles from downtown Beach Haven, including Fantasy Island, Bay Village, Thundering Surf, several mini-golf courses, ice cream galore, and many of the best restaurants and bars on the island. Before booking you can reach me at 202 and 631 and 6490 with questions or to discuss options and possible discounts for week+ stays, or email mnovotny at backyard.homes. Please note this is a family rental, the sleeping arrangements are best suited for up to 4 adults and 3 kids (7 guests max). We require a photo ID and do not rent to high school or college+ groups.

We booked this rental very last minute in the Fall when we saw the weather was going to be beautiful, and the owner couldn't have been more responsive and accommodating. The house was very clean and well stocked with everything needed. Loved the quiet location. Excellent stay and excellent communication. Would definitely stay again!
Thank you!

The location of this home is incredible! Located on the quiet south end of Long Beach Island, we were a block from the ocean, a block from the bay, and a short bike ride or drive to the amusement parks, restaurants, and stores of central Beach Haven.
Our beach was lifeguarded but uncrowded, and the teens had their beach right there to walk out to where they could drop their surfboards in the water and catch a wave.
Sunsets were glorious on the bay just up the block.
The house is as advertised, with even better outdoor spaces than can be appreciated from the photos. A lovely balcony was our setting for breakfasts, grilling, and just sitting in the shade. The large rooftop deck with a dining and sitting area was the center of family and friend time from dinnertime on. Outdoor shower was perfect.
The house is very comfortable - the beds are great and we all slept like bears. Couches are great. Everything was fresh and clean. The kitchen has all the basics we needed to cook our meals at home. It's a homey, cozy and wonderful base for a seaside trip.
Keep in mind the unit is on the second story of a two-family home. The owner of the downstairs unit is delightful and was patient with our teens who clearly made too much noise walking above her bedroom late the first night. Once we realized the sound carried through the floor, the teens were quiet and thoughtful. If you have a gaggle of kids you'll need to settle them down in the evenings. No biggie for most of us.

We had a great holiday in LBI. This place is close to all amenities. Restaurants, beach, tennis and basketball courts, bike paths to name a few of our favorites things to do during our stay.
This place is awesome!

We had a great time in LBI. The house was very clean and comfortable. It was fully stocked with everything you could need including kitchen items, paper products & laundry detergent. The couches were comfortable and the TV was easy to use. There were also beach chairs, bicycles that were ready to ride and kites to fly on the beach. Beautiful sunsets on the bay at the end of the street and a short walk to the beach. Mike was very responsive to all inquiries. Would definitely return.

This rental is in a great location near the southern end of the island. It's just a short drive to a local market and restaurants. We like to cook and the kitchen was equipped with just about everything you could need, including lots of staples. Loved the Myers cleaning products. The beds were very comfortable! And it was wonderful having a TV in the Master as well as the larger TV in the living room. There were a lot of viewing options including access to local channels to check the weather. The upper deck area is awesome, but could be an issue getting up there for people with mobility issues or small children. The shed out back had all we needed for the beach-lots of chairs and an interesting "umbrella" that we used every day.

We really enjoyed our stay in Holgate - just a bit out of the hustle and bustle of Beach Haven but close enough to bike or take a quick drive to get to shops, restaurants, and Fantasy Island. Our two small children (almost 2 and 4 1/2) loved the beach, which was a short wagon ride away. It was a huge relief not to have to haul our own beach equipment with us on this trip! The owners provide everything you could possibly need to enjoy the beach, including a big selection of beach toys and games. Thank you Mike and Molly for a great place!

The house was great and well located only a short block or two from the beach. Communication with the owner was easy and the house itself was stocked with kitchen/washer dryer related needs. Our group really loved the top deck to be able to see the sunset and the moon at night. There was a good collection of beach needs (chairs, boogie boards, games etc) in the shed along with spray for the greenheads (bugs). Would highly recommend!

Mike's rental property is even better than advertised. Amazing location to beach/bay with park. Quite neighborhood with great neighbors. Rooftop deck offers outstanding sunset views and you can see both the ocean and bay. The home is extremely clean and everything is well thought of. Everything you can think of is offered with the property. Leave the beach chairs, boogie boards, umbrella, and wagon at home as these are all provided and of good quality. My family of four had an easy time lugging all of our beach accessories the short distance and had an amazing week at Mike's property.

Everything was great and easy upon checking in. Communication with owner was superb. Apartment was well stocked for all needs. An added bonus was the shed was fully stocked with bikes, beach chairs, boogie boards and sand toys. The sunset over the bay was outstanding. And the kids loved the beach and the playground. Fantasy island is not walkable for littles, but-you can take the shuttle or it’s just a short short car ride away. We enjoyed evenings on the roof deck—Friendly neighbors,quiet area.

The apartment is located between beach and bay, very close to the bay (with a small sandy playground) and just over the Blvd from the ocean beach. Just a short walk down Bay Blvd was Bawkey’s small shop, which had fresh baked morning goodies, drinks, ice cream, etc.
The “green-head flies” we’re not a fun experience and we soon started using the homemade keep away spray the locals use (thanks to Mike for providing that!).
The rooftop deck, with its amazing views, was the highlight of the apartment. There was also, thankfully, an outdoor shower, as one might hope for a home sandwiched between two beaches. The 3 bedrooms and single bath are as pictured.
The couches were adequate while the beds were really comfortable and nicely outfitted with pillows and quilts (BYO linens/sheets/towels). The shower/tub had no bathtub stopper, so we bought and left one. Enjoy the soak! It’s a nice, deep tub.
We loved having that beach stuff shed with toys, a beach wagon (used it once then went more low-key), and racks of beach chairs. It was so easy to grab and go, getting outside to enjoy the sand and waves, which was the main purpose of our trip! Definitely we’ll set up for a family vacay.
