A typical day at our shorehouse
Our home is made for families and entertaining and we want you to enjoy it like it's your own. Start your morning on one of the two decks with your coffee and breakfast while you breathe in the ocean air. Take a quick stroll to the beach and spend the day soaking up the sun or going for a swim. Come back to rinse off in the outdoor shower and then head up to the deck for happy hour. Enjoy delicious, locally-caught seafood on the grill for dinner while you watch the sunset over the bay.
Wake up the next day and do it all over again, or head to the north end of the island to visit the Old Barney lighthouse or the south end for shopping and amusement parks. A vacation at our LBI home promises the perfect blend of relaxation and fun family time however you choose to spend it.

Location & Beaches
Prioritizing peace and quiet, this north end bayside beach house is ideal for those looking to beat the crowds found on the southern half of LBI. The ocean beach in Harvey Cedars is just a 3-minute walk away with a traffic light for safe crossing of Long Beach Blvd.. We provide beach chairs, beach towels and 6 beach badges for adults. The lifeguarded beach in Harvey Cedars was recently ranked 6th of 44 in the state by NJ.com, noting: “Some of the best natural beauty of any NJ beach…not as crowded as Ship-Bottom…it’s big and broad, the sand is soft, and the vibe is refreshingly calm.”
A lifeguarded bay beach is also close by offering a quiet, protected swimming area. This bay beach is especially wonderful for young children as the waves are very small.
Things to Do
Aside from the beach, there are tons of fun activities and attractions within a quick 10-minute drive. There's Barnegat Lighthouse State Park, where you can climb to the top of the historic lighthouse or enjoy a walk out onto a long jetty. Also within 10 minutes are four mini golf courses including our favorite, Flamingo Golf, plenty of local shops, and watersports equipment rentals at the Harvey Cedars Marina. If you’re looking to get out on the ocean, you can charter a sailboat or go deep sea fishing from Barnegat Light. There is a kayak/canoe launch at Harvey Cedars Marina just down the street, and there are tennis, pickleball, and sand volleyball courts nearby at Sunset Park.
Other popular LBI attractions like Fantasy Island Amusement Park and Thundering Surf Waterpark are about 20 minutes away.
