Great location! Inside was clean and very spacious with great views. Had everything our group of 8 needed for a week. Outside and deck is run-down. Beach is a 5 minute walk from the house. Handicap accessible transportation was available at beach parking lot to drive those that needed it to beach which was a nice service. Overall a great week!

Lovely property, well maintained and lovingly furnished. Beautiful sunset views over the bay. We crabbed off of the pier and caught six - all quite large and edible. Had we been more devoted crabbers I’m sure we could have fed ourselves, as it was the oldest of our number, wife’s cousin of 75yrs was delighted with cleaning and cooking the crabs. Quiet neighborhood. Charming street.

Property was beautiful, spacious and well situated. Crabbing and fishing from dock provided fun time for our boys. There was ample amount of newer beach chairs. Puzzles were missing pieces and there were no games for indoor fun on rainy days.

Lovely location and and property
We (collection of adult friends) really enjoyed our stay. We particularly appreciated the setting, right on the bay and with a fantastic view of the sunsets, which were pretty spectacular. The kitchen is well-furnished, and living room and dining room were very nice, but we spent almost all of our time on the deck, which we were very happy about. One caveat: the nearest grocery store is pretty far away, so I recommend stocking up before you arrive.

The location of this property cannot be beat. The sunset from the deck is breathtaking. The living spaces are great. The bedroom set - up didn’t work for our family so be sure you look closely at the description. The host is extremely responsive and everything was described perfectly.

The other guests’ comments are accurate and were helpful to prepare us for what we would experience at the house. The house provides a spectacular view of the bay and there is ample,comfortable seating outside so people can enjoy the spectacular view of the water by day and the stars by night. The house had ample space inside and our family had a wonderful time on LBI this year.

On the positive side, I would rate the following as 5 stars: A, LOCATION - right on Bay, 10 minute walk to Ocean, parking is available at the Beach, 5-10 minute drive to stores and restaurants B, HOUSE SET UP - awesome outdoor deck with great view of Sunset. convenient cooking situation with outdoor grill and spacious kitchen. great open space downstairs. C, OWNER RESPONSIVENESS - excellent, always available and prompt On the less positive side: 1, the beds were uncomfortable 2, we had to bring our own linens and towels 3, deck was a bit worned down All in all we had an awesome family vacation staying here for a week!!

Steven, thank you for your positive review. We are very happy that you and your family had a good time at our bayfront home. If not for the concern of COVID-19, we certainly would have setup the beds with linens. Unfortunately this situation might need to continue for a while. We are collecting the opinions on the beds. They are all mattresses on box spring base. Some people like former ones, and some like softer ones. We will certain replace any set which is really uncomfortable. Hope we will see you in next season. Best regards, Robin

Great location
The house location is in a great part of LBI. The house is very quiet and spacious with big windows throughout, beautiful views facing the bay, and vast sunlight exposure. It is a great space to accommodate a family. This is why we chose this house. Our experience would have been better if there were comfortable mattresses. There were only spring mattresses, which were creaky, extremely hard, and very uncomfortable. We all had difficulty sleeping through the night. More comfortable beds and better kitchen dishware and supplies would have been greatly appreciated. The host is responsive and the check-in/check-out process was easy..

We really enjoyed our stay at Robin's house. It was clean, spacious, with plenty of room to spread out. The living room and deck furniture has been updated, which was a nice surprise as the pictures haven't been updated. We wish there was more shade on the deck, so we could stay outside in the afternoons. The sunsets are stunning. The location to the beach was great. Communications was easy, and Robin was quick to respond. We would definitely stay here again.

Looks can be deceiving - renters beware...
This is the perfect beach house if you… …enjoy beautiful views …like a responsive owner …like to clean upon arrival …want to spend 4 hrs of your vacation instructing the cleaning team what needs to be done …wear shoes on your feet when walking on the deck due to nails, rusty screws & peeling wood …don’t mind finding a moldy, unidentifiable substance in a ziploc bag in the cabinet above the fridge …don’t mind years of accumulated dust on the HVAC vents throughout & window sills …don’t mind shared bathroom doors that don’t latch …like seeing water inside from a leaking door & skylight …don’t mind VRBO telling you that this situation is your fault since you didn’t contact the owner or VRBO right away We are long time renters on LBI. The house where we stayed for 23 yrs is for sale. We used LBI VRBO last year to stay in a different house (already rented). We are used to immaculate houses, especially when paying premium prices. We understand that there is “wear & tear” in a house. The conditions we found were greater than this or an “oversight of the cleaning team” as stated by the owner. We checked in on a Fri, cleaned the fridge, silverware drawer & vacuumed trash from under beds in 1 of the bedrooms. There were many other issues that we chose to overlook. By Sunday we found the UMO (unidentified moldy object) & contacted the owner. We shared pictures we took for documentation to mainly protect ourselves as renters. The owner sent his cleaning “team” who spent 4 hours cleaning the house, addressing the many issues that we found (& continued to find after they left). We enjoyed our time with family, but are deeply disappointed in this house & VRBO especially with its assurances of “enhanced cleaning measures”. It would be great if VRBO would ask proof of the owners if a PROFESSIONAL cleaning team was used & offered a “certified clean” label for rentals. VRBO doesn’t support travelers. It is evident by the many phone calls & representatives with whom I have spoken that there are no clear procedures in place to help travelers in these situations. VRBO does NOT stand by its assurances of “enhanced cleaning procedures”. The ONLY way that I would use VRBO in the future would be if there were a professional property management team on site, i.e. time-share rental.We are not the owners. We are guests, paying a premium price for the less than premium conditions we experienced. On a positive note, renters after us enjoyed a clean house!

Enjoyed our family gathering. Property has spectacular views of the bay off the back deck, enjoyable to sit and have drinks or coffee in the morning. Property could use some updating however most of our time was spent outside & at the beach so it didn’t matter. All in all great location & is on a cul de sac so it was perfect for our families which include 6 kids under age 8.

Nice stay on the water!
We enjoyed our stay at Robin’s house. It was big and comfortable with a beautiful view right on the bay. The deck was great with new furniture and a grill. The upstairs master bathroom is renovated and modern, while the rest of the bedrooms are dated. We still found it comfortable and clean and the living room and kitchen space were really great! Our only recommendation would be to stock the house with hand soap by each sink and leave extra trash bags. Little touches like that would be great for future guests and make vacationing a breeze! Thanks for a great stay. We definitely would recommend Robin’s home to others!

Great location but maintenance on the house is needed
A few things, that led to my poor cleaning rating. I had to clean all of the counters and bathrooms (under the toilet seats were gross especially in the main floor bathrooms) when we arrived as they we not properly cleaned, the bbq was completely unusable.. my husband tried to clean it but when he lit it the grease from the bottom went up in flames and burned all of our hamburgers/ hotdogs. The air vents and ceiling fans needed cleaning. Also there were ants in the kitchen and bedroom areas. Overall the house was a bit disappointing for the amount that we paid. The location of the house was perfect but the cleaning needs improving.

While we appreciate criticisms, and use them as basis for improvement of the cleaning crew, we also expect fair statement. In our instruction we did emphasize the need for renters to clean the grille after use as a curtesy for the next renter, because clean crew on island would not be responsible for grille cleaning. But they did keep two fully loaded propane tanks for your use as curtesy. They found one tank was totally empty, and was not refill after your departure. Yet you mentioned the grille was not usable at all.

Great rental
Overall, we really enjoyed our stay in Loveladies. The house is located towards the end of the town of Loveladies, very close to Barnegat Light. We ventured into Barnegat Light a handful of times for the shopping and restaurants/bars. You are a block from the beach and have a great dock to enjoy the bay. The owner was very responsive and accommodating.

Great long weekend getaway
The location of the house in ideal! On a private road with the perfect dock for sunset. Just a short walk to the beach and local tennis court as well. The beach is quiet and plenty of room to spread out. The lighthouse is a 15 minute or so drive as well. When we walked in, there was a hint of bleach smell which was appreciated given we stayed during COVID so we knew the cleaning crew disinfected. We brought Clorox wipes just in case, but didn't feel we had to use them. The deck was huge with lots of seating and a grill. The house itself was very spacious. The downstairs bedrooms were in decent condition. The master bedroom upstairs had a recently renovated bathroom with a private deck and views of the bay. The master bed was squeaky. Some of the pots/pans/dishwasher is a bit run down - so if you have something specific you want to use, I'd bring it in case. Otherwise, the house was stocked with what we needed. The owner was incredibly responsive and helpful. We'd definitely stay here again.

Beautiful view, nice property, great host
This home has a wonderful view of the bay. We had beautiful sunsets with soaring birds. The docks and other homes make for a wonderful setting. The home itself is in ok shape, with some older features. The kitchen is stocked with a decent selection. The deck furniture older. The master bedroom on the second floor matches the first-floor views and has an updated bathroom. The bed is a queen and squeaks a lot. The downstairs bedrooms are ok. Fine for kids. The owner was highly responsive and open to solving any problems. She was great. We had some issues with the HVAC on arrival, and she did everything she could to address. We did have some ants, but it’s sometimes hard not to at the beach. Overall, a beautiful view, a nice property and a great host.

The house was comfortable and was just as described and pictured. The sunsets from the dock and back patio was exquisite.. My only suggestions would be for newer pots, some were a challenge to use and perhaps look into a better cleaning service. As a whole, it was a lovely experience.

Great bay view ...short walking distance to the ocean, great little parking spot to get on the beach
Master bedroom great view bathroom recently remodeled, best room in the house. A king bed would make it five stars. The patio has plenty of lounge chairs, patio tables, needs a better umbrella the setting sun is intense out back, the bay and dock is a great escape for the kids after several days at the beach. The kitchen has all the utensils you need, plates bowls etc...large island and two dining tables can serve 12 at one time...the three bedrooms each have two well worn twin beds...the kids did not complain and a new queen pull out sofa bed in the living room..there is a loft...Japanese matt with two single mattresses in it good for over flow guests, AC and lighting was good..plenty of parking you are the last house on the street right on the bay. Great view somewhat encumbered by the cat tails growing at the waters edge...a lot to like about the house...would book it again. Can accommodate two adults and ten kids...wouldn’t put adults in any rooms except for the master on the second floor...it was perfect for our situation. Great little parking lot one block south no permit necessary. Super convenient to get to the beach.
