We’ve been coming to LBI for over 30 years, staying in the same house-one off the beach-for at least 20 of those years. We lost our weeks when we chose not to travel in 2020, but this year we were lucky to find Skipper’s Cove. Going from the ocean to the bay was an easy transition here. The house is perfectly situated one off the bay with beautiful views from upstairs and downstairs rooms. The backyard deck was a terrific option for my husband to sit and read and for the rest of us (including the 9mo old grandchild)when we’d had enough of the beach. Tho we didn’t take advantage of the hot tub, the kids kayak’d out to the small island, and got their exercise on the SUP boards. House has 2 nice sized bedrooms upstairs and two down, so everyone had their space (and water views!) Deb is a very thoughtful owner, providing beach umbrella, low chairs, beach wagon, games. She checked in to be sure we were ok with everything, and left us feeling that if we needed anything, she was just an email or a phone call away. We look forward to renting again next year!

My family and I recently stayed in this home. While the home itself is nice, the experience with the renter was terrible. She lives in the house DIRECTLY next door so all she does is comment on everything you do. She complains about everything. Also, her “best friend” is the neighbor behind the house. My family and I were floating in the bay when the neighbor told us to “stay on our own area cause that was part of the water is private property”. Every time one of my family members were sitting on the porch, she complained about something to us. Also, for being a nice house, the utensils, and knives are total crap. A beaver could cut a steak faster than those knives. There is a nest thermostat in the house which never seems to stay at the temp you put it too (can’t 100% confirm but I’m sure she messed with the thermostat), which is very frustrating when you pay a lot to stay there. The beds (especially the downstairs queen) are hard as a ROCK. It’s a shame because the house is nice and the views are beautiful but it’s not worth dealing with a renter on top of you all the time.

Sorry you had a bad week and felt this way. The downstairs mattress was purchased new two years ago and I have never had a complaint about the mattresses. I have no control of my neighbors and their interaction with people. The only time I spoke to you about a problem, was when you had left beer bottles all over the outside upstairs porch at night, which blew off and broke all in the driveway. I came back down after being away for three days and they were still broken and laying in the driveway. Asking you to pick up your broken glass in the driveway, I feel is not asking too much. As far as the nest thermostat is concerned, the thermostats are only three years old and all digital. I in no way can control them. If you were not sure how to use it, you could have always emailed me or called.
Skipper's Cove does not disappoint!
We had an incredible time in a house that simply had it all: spotless home stocked with everything we needed, beautiful bedrooms, a backyard space (with a hot tub) that was perfect for sunset happy hours, and a deck that was perfect for grilling and dinner. And you can't beat the location: we had a perfect, up close view of the bay and our walk to the beach was quick and easy.
What made our stay truly special was how friendly and attentive Debra was. We decided one night to have a lobster dinner but realized we had no way of actually cracking the shells! Luckily, Debra had us covered and got us what we needed right away.
We can't wait to make our way back to Skipper's Cove.

We stayed at Skippers Cove for a week this August and had a great time. The house is roomy, clean, very well maintained. Debbie cares about the property and really wants her tenants to have a great time. Her hospitality was exceptional, and the property more than met our expectations. The hot tub is serviced regularly by an outside company so basically all we had to do was put the cover up and down. The house comes with bay access including paddle boards and all the necessary equipment. The house has both an upper deck and a backyard seating area. We spent most time in the back by the hot tub. Debbie was also very gracious and understanding regarding the power failure on the island - in fact was ready to drive down to the house from her home with ice and coolers for us ! We'll definitely look at staying again next year.

We booked this home sight-unseen based on the VRLBI description and the home far surpassed our expectations. The Skipper's thought of everything and set the bar high in terms of a vacation rental. The home offers a wonderful view of the bay from the front and rear decks where you sit in comfortable chairs and enjoy the breeze. For those of us that also enjoy the ocean, it is a short, convenient walk to the beach. If you are active, the Skipper's have that covered as well. Bikes, kayaks fishing poles, paddle boards and more are available for the family to enjoy. The house is well decorated, clean, and modern. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen had all we needed to enjoy meal in the house or by grilling on the upper deck. After-dinner soaking in the hot tub capped it off. The Skippers are very warm and friendly people and they were quick to answer the few questions we had prior to arrival and during our stay. I highly recommend staying at this home.

The Skipper's have thought of everything which made it easy to make memories with 3 generations spending time together on the bay. There is plenty of room to come together and also to find time alone. Everyone enjoyed time on the deck captivated by nature living in & at the bay, reading, kayaking, paddle boarding and of course the hot tub! The house is clean and updated! It was so nice not to have to pack bed sheets, towels and beach stuff! It was easy to grab your suitcase and left your cares float away at Skipper's Cove.

We highly recommend this beautifully appointed 4 bedroom home on the bay. We loved that we were so close to the beach and yet were able to enjoy gorgeous sunsets every night. The Skipper’s thought of everything, and I mean everything!! We enjoyed paddle boards, kayaks and evenings in the hot tub. We fished and road bikes...we grilled and played games...we could not have asked for more!! The towels & linens were all high end...it was a huge plus that we didn’t need to bring these items with us. The beds were very comfortable. We have been renting on the island for 20 summers now and often our biggest complaint has been about the mattresses, which have been often old and uncomfortable. We can never understand why lessors don’t invest and reinvest in comfortable mattresses...not an issue with this rental. It would be impossible for us to list all of the items you will have at your fingertips, but you will enjoy everything from fun/festive serving platters/bowls to laundry soap/dryer sheets you will use in the spotless Electrolux washer and dryer. Simply replace any consumable item you use the last of. Lastly, this home is decorated beautifully...Debbie has a true gift. You will spend all week appreciating and discovering all the special touches. Surprises await at every turn...you will not be disappointed and you will leave having made priceless family memories!
