Last year was a banner year.
Some of our guests with multiple generations take both floors and have 6 bedrooms available to them. There are also a minimal number of stairs for the first floor, which makes it easy for little ones and those with a problem with stairs. Extended families and good friends have done this for and even bigger beach experience.
Oceanfront is what defines the experience. Listen to the sounds of the surf. Have coffee on the porch with the sunrise and cocktails at dinner. Enjoy a lobster dinner on the deck (Quincy has the best lobster.) Read a book, or share the moment with a friend or family member. Paint shells with the kids. Bike to town or take a boat ride at sunset. This is the best of the Jersey Shore and we would love to have you experience it at Merivale Pack your vacation with summer memories. If you love the beach, you will experience it here. It is a nature-lovers paradise.
We have many returning guests who bring their young children each year. The overall atmosphere of the street is residential. There is easy access by auto or bike to the town. Many of our guests order their food to be delivered on the day of their arrival to avoid crowded stores. The island does have a lovely new Acme. We do try to accommodate our guests with beach chairs and beach toys. We also provide a porta-crib. At the corner is a bike rental store. It also rents most of what you would want for your stay.

My wife and I booked 2 weeks here and it was great. We rented the upper unit and the place was really lovely. Ocean views in every bedroom and the deck has a retractable awning. Kitchen is great and the open area to the living room made the unit feel really spacious. Bonnie was great with any questions we had and we would definitely book again.

220 Merivale has been my family's vacation spot for over 10 years. Prior to renting ourselves, we have stayed there with extended family and have always loved it. It is right on the beach, which makes it easy to break from the beach with young children. The units are well-kept, clean, and parking is accessible. It really says something when you decide to stay in the same house year after year. The owners/manager have been wonderful to rent from and are quick to answer any questions that may arise.
We are looking forward to another great summer next year!

Another outstanding week at the perfect location in Beach Haven tended to by wonderful, responsive owners! The unit itself is updated, modern and clean and you simply can't beat the ocean views from the open concept kitchen and living areas. Merivale Beach is at the southern end of Beach Haven where the island narrows, which makes it a very quiet spot with a beach that is never overcrowded. Bonnie Todd, who manages this property on behalf of her parents, is extremely responsive and pleasant to deal with. The first time I rented here was in 2013 and I plan on continuing to do so.
Stayed July, 2021
We had a wonderful vacation in this beautiful top floor unit. Lots of windows overlooking the beach with awesome views and a large balcony. Nice quiet location but close to town so you have the best of both worlds. Owner is very responsive. Thanks to the Todd family for a great time! We will definitely be back!

We stayed on the second floor and the views were breathtaking! You have full panoramic view of the ocean in the spacious living room/kitchen area and two of the three bedrooms!
Nothing like looking at the ocean while enjoying a meal at the large kitchen island or sitting on the spacious balcony, with retractable awning to keep it cooler if needed!
Beds were comfortable and and you have your own parking area which is super convenient and off the street.
We were provided beach tags and the beach was not over crowded.
At night we saw fireworks, beautiful stars and even captured the Big Dipper!
It’s quiet, but a bike ride or short car ride away from Bay Village, Fantasy Island and all the fun eateries!
We enjoyed our getaway and glad we chose this property. Bonnie, the property manager was attentive and easily able to contact if needed.
We would love to rent again in the future!

I am writing this review as I write a deposit check for Merivale Lane for a week in September 2020. I have been back every year with the exception of one (due to circumstances beyond my control) and plan to come back every year if able. Not only is the house located right on the beach, but Bonnie is such a pleasure to work with and is always at the ready if you need anything at all. The open concept is great for cooking, while having a cocktail and a panoramic view of the ocean. The deck on the second level is wonderful for cocktail hour or watching the sunset and the long walks on the beach are just steps away! It is always a girl's only week at the shore and my girlfriends so enjoy getting away from work, family and responsibilities to come down and live the LBI life for a few days and the same group comes every year! The house is convenient, yet away from the hustle and bustle where one can truly enjoy and relax. Everything is well maintained, fully stocked and in excellent working order. I second one of the other reviews, this is a great way to spend a week on LBI, just don't take my week!!!!

Very nice property with a panoramic view of the ocean from this second floor location. Kitchen is very modern, even with usb charging outlets under the main kitchen table. Closet space is rather sparse, but overall a very nice space. Unit is beachfront and path to beach is adjacent. Quiet neighborhood is nice for walking. Ownerd have put a lot of care into the property and it shows. A/C units in every room make for lots of comfort in hot weather. Good shower. Highly recommended.

We were pleasantly surprised by the proximity to the beach this rental was. We were also impressed with the decor and cleanliness of the home. It was a perfect week at the beach! We mostly enjoyed taking walks in the early morning with our daughter to explore Beach Haven. Thank you for a great week!
Stayed June, 2018
Had a great week at LBI. The home was everything we hoped for. Bright open, living/kitchen area. Kitchen beautifully updated. Comfortable beds with great AC throughout. Best part---sitting on the covered porch on a rocking chair with my feet on the railing overlooking the dunes having a beer. Bonnie could not have been more attentive to us. We will be returning. Highly reccommend this rental home.
Stayed September, 2017
Loved the quieter location yet only a 15 minute walk to bustling part of town. Place was clean and plenty of space for our family to enjoy the week. Will definitely consider this rental again!
