Lovely Spacious Waterfront escape (or WFH) Kayaks, 72' dock, mins to LBI beaches

Enjoy a perfect, memorable family vacation in a contemporary home featuring 3 bedrooms, 3 baths, an open floor plan and spectacular water views from every room, located in The Coves section of Beach Haven West. Have fun and spend time together both inside and out! The living room with high vaulted ceiling has a cozy gas fireplace and double sliding doors that open to an upper deck where you can grill just steps from an outdoor eating area. The spacious lower deck, fenced-in backyard and attached dock has something for everyone! Sit back and enjoy the views from a comfy outdoor seating area, take out a single or tandem kayak for a trip around the lagoon, chill and chat in Adirondack chairs around a firepit, or play a game of cornhole. Bring your water toys and take advantage of 72 feet of dock/bulkhead, great for swimming, fishing, crabbing and more! You can also go on morning walks, runs or bike on our wide, peaceful neighborhood streets.

When the sun sets, continue the fun inside in our decked-out great room. A 130” projector equipped with Apple TV is perfect for movie nights. Or break out one of the many games in the storage coffee table for family game night! This room also has a spot for the gamer (or work from home) with a 32” external monitor you can plug right into. Another workspace is in the upstairs king bedroom with relaxing views of the lagoon for guests working remotely.

Perfect, quiet family vacation
The house was beautiful and setup nicely for renters. Had everything we needed to enjoy! The lagoon is quiet which was nice, but easy access to the island!! Owners were fantastic! Communication was easy and they even left duck food since they knew we had children going! Would definitely recommend!

Perfect Place!!
The location was perfect, the house perfect, the amenities perfect, our holiday there was perfect. This is a truly wonderful place: the outside lagoon side is well designed and lends itself well to outside enjoyment. What's also wonderful is that so many rooms have sliding doors to that open out to the decks. The additional amenities (kayaks, bikes, SUP board and grill) really added something extra and made it feel more like home rather than just a rental. We all felt very comfortable and relaxed there.
