WORST DEAL ON LBI - ZERO stars
DITTO on what the last renter said. If we weren’t down there with another family, who was renting another (cleaner) house down the road, we would have left immediately.
The condition of the house, when we arrived, was deplorable. There was food on the floor & on the counter, stuck to a vinegary smelling liquid. There were drink caps, bobby pins, pen caps and cheerios popping out of the couch and personal items from the previous tenants (socks, eyeglasses, pillowcases, empty take out containers & 1/2 used soaps; everywhere).
When we called the owner, he said that he was personally at the house on Saturday, prior to us checking in, and he approved its condition. He also referred to his tenants as “animals” who don’t take care of his house. I was dumbfounded.
There’s a strong, pungent, odor in this house that the owner denies exists, YET he has air fresheners ALL over the house, trying to mask it. We had to wash clothes that we didn't even wear because we brought the smell home with us! He claims all old beach houses smell like that. I’ve been vacationing on LBI for 33 years and I have NEVER smelled anything like it.
Clarification on the house description: There is not one new or remodeled item in this house.
There are NO bicycles. NO picnic table (unless it was hidden in the overgrown, buggy backyard), only ½ of the staircase has been widened and it is barely air-conditioned. Upstairs there are explicit instructions warning you not to turn the thermostat below 72 degrees or it will freeze up & shut down and downstairs there is NO A/C in the main room (which is a garage) so if you close the bedroom doors it becomes unbearably HOT! There are dehumidifiers down there, running 24/7, in a futile attempt to combat the dampness, mold & odor.
What you WILL find in this home is a bunch of crap from the owner’s primary residence that should have been thrown away. There are 4 coffee makers, 2 blenders, 44 books on how to run a business & 31 wicker paper plate holders! All conveniently stored in one of the few unlocked closets, off of the kitchen, right next to the pesticides.
NOTE: the transportation to the beach is a FREE tractor run by the town. It broke down the day before we got there and was unavailable the entire week. You can’t walk to the beach from the house (it’s a good ½ mile). I had to load up the car, with my mom & my kids and drive to a block with a manageable dune. It was so inconvenient, and my elderly mother could only do it 1 day. It negated us paying a premium for the ocean block house. This was not the owner’s fault but it’s something to consider if you make the dad decision, of renting this house.
I know the home is old but there is NO reason for it to be FILTHY. Not for $5500 p/w $786 p/n! At the end of the week, I asked James Seber for a partial refund (whatever he thought was reasonable) for what we had to deal with. As you can see from his response below, he sees nothing wrong and I’m lucky to be getting my security deposit back because left a window unlocked (the windows all PAINTED SHUT) and I neglected to push the moldy loveseat, in the basement, back up against the wall.
Owner’s response:
The pictures on the website are accurate. It is an older renovated house in a beach town with high humidity, not a luxury ocean front new home. As discussed, the crew does a changeover cleaning to sanitize the house before each rental -- not a deep cleaning like you would have done by a maid when they clean you house. Sometimes guests don’t treat the house as their own and don’t fully clean-up or let us know there are issues that require attention before they leave (e.g., stained curtains, remnants in the sofa, articles left behind, wasp nest in outside shower).
Despite there being issues with the condition of the house when you checked out (e.g., moved furniture not returned to original location, windows and doors left unlocked), we will not deduct the service fee from your security deposit (lease ¶19). If you would like to receive pictures of the checkout issues, please let me know. In the interest of putting this behind us, we have mailed you a $500 check for your full dirt/damage security deposit.

Christie, we’re so sorry your experience at our house didn’t meet your expectations and you have issues. We’ve read through your review and believe there is some confusion. You had an opportunity to preview the house before you rented it via pictures on the VRLBI #999 website as well as in person.
Christie, after seeing the new larger house that your friends were renting down the block, you and your mother called after checking in on 8/20/22, and wanted to pay a lower rate (and get a partial refund). You threatened to post a very bad negative review if I didn’t send you a partial refund for the lower rate. To make things right, I offered to issue you a refund if the house was not to your liking and you would leave/check out. Instead of leaving and getting a refund, you stayed the full week. If the house was so deplorable why did you stay instead of leaving and renting a different house?
You waited to receive your full $500 dirt/damage security deposit before posting a flaming review 2 weeks after you checked out on 8/27/22. In fact, many of the specifics in your review are false, fabricated, or greatly exaggerated.
As seen on the VRLBI #999 website, the house has been remodeled. We removed walls/updating it to an open concept kitchen/living area, bought new leather sofas, added a sliding door off the front deck, upgraded the entertainment systems with new HD TVs, stereo and surround sound, etc….
Not sure why you are complaining about extra coffee makers…At the suggestion of prior guests, we provide extra coffee makers so guests can brew regular, decaf, flavored coffees at the same time.
As seen on the VRLBI #999 website, there’ a picnic table in the back yard vs. what you indicated in your review “NO picnic table”.
We clearly let guests know that they can rent bicycles from a few close by rental shops – we do not indicate that we provide bicycles.
We checked all the windows, and none of them were painted shut. However, you left a few windows open and unlocked.
The A/C works perfectly and will cool the entire house to 68 degrees (or lower). As discussed, the A/C will not operate properly when you have the windows open, or close vents.
Sorry that the town provided tram broke down and you were inconvenienced and decided to pack your car to go to the beach. You can walk to the beach following a short cut path – it’s not ”a good ½ mile”.
Christie, you did not pay $5,500 for the week.
Christie, you left the house unlocked, windows open, left trash inside the house containers, moved furniture, left personal items, closed A/C vents……despite these issues we still sent you a full refund of your $500 dirt/damage security deposit.
We take great pride in providing our guests with a clean, fully equipped beach house vacation experience. Prior guests have been super happy and posted reviews like: ”nice beach house”, “First and most important, it is ultra clean”, “cleaning service does a fantastic job”, “Great place to spend time with the family”. The review from the guests that stayed a few weeks before you was "Nice Beach House".
Wonderful stay in Barnegat Light
We had a great time at Jim's house. There were 6 of us—4 adults and two small kids. The house is physically far from the beach, but there is a tractor wagon that comes every 20 min or so to transport beachgoers to the lifeguarded area of the beach. You can also walk out there, but it's a bit of a shlep. Jim's house was clean and well kept and he was very communicative the whole time. We had a great time relaxing and playing games on the deck and making the short walk to Poppy's every night for ice cream. We'd definitely consider staying again!
Stayed August, 2022
Thanks for the kind words Lindsay. Glad you and your family enjoyed your stay. Looking forward to you staying with us next summer.
Zero Stars
Never again! Billed as the “Best Deal in Barnegat Light” turned out to be the worst deal! The place was not cleaned well. The two bedrooms in the lower level were moldy smelling and you can only access the bathrooms from them by using the spiral stairs. We’ve rented in LBI many times before using a realtor. That will be our plan next time.

Ms. H., I’m surprised to receive this review from you. Sorry to hear you had issues. You did not bring any of these issues to my attention when you checked in on 7/30/22, or when I reached out to you mid-week on 8/3/22 to see how your stay was going and if we need to address or fix anything. In fact, I was shocked when you called me 2 weeks after you checked out (3 weeks after checked in) about your issues and ask for a discount/refund. This is the first time we've heard about the issues you mentioned.
We take great pride in providing our guests with a clean, fully equipped beach house vacation experience.

Nice Beach House
Nice beach house on a quiet street close to the beach. Plenty to see and do. Souvenir shop, restaurants, liquor store within easy walking distance.

Great Location! Great Host!
This house served our multi-generational family very well. Parents in their 80’s, us and three children under 10. The in-laws had the master suite with their own bathroom and the outside steps were easy for them to use. Easy access to the beach as long as you paid attention to the tram schedule! Kitchen was well equipped which allowed for a great Fathers Day celebration. We had everything we could ask for, especially a TV room downstairs for the kids! Grateful and look forward to being back next summer.

Looking forward to you staying with us again. You and your family were perfect guests and treated the house as if it was yours's!
Sweet Spot in BL
9 East 7th Street in Barnegat Light is a quiet sweet place to spend a week or more in Long Beach Island. You can ride your bike and walk everywhere you need to go. I barely went into my car the whole week. Kubel's for dinner and Poppy's for ice cream just a walk away. The beaches are stunning. I loved my morning walks on the dunes on the way to the ocean.

The place to relax
This beach house is beautifully decorated and has everything you could need away from home. We enjoyed beautiful sunny days on the beach and the grandchildren loved riding on the Tram! There are plenty of house games and a beautiful backyard to relax in after a day at the beach The owner of the house Jim was very responsive and available all the time when we had questions.

Cozy home in perfect, quiet location with a super responsive owner
9 East 7th St will grow on you each day you stay as you realize the small touches that Jim (the owner) has done to make your stay the best possible. He has the best stocked kitchen we have experienced (you have all the quality knives, pots, skillets, etc. to prepare anything you want), and everything is set up for you--from guidebooks to local restaurants to labeled drawers to nice sitting areas both inside and out. But what makes the difference is Jim's responsiveness. He will respond to any text or email nearly instantaneously and do whatever it takes for your experience to be a good one. Many other properties might be more elegant or modern, but in my opinion the owner makes the difference--and you won't go wrong here. Thanks, Jim!

Perfect location for walks to the beach or bay. Beautiful, peaceful garden in the back yard. Beautiful deck off the master. Everything you need is here.

Wish I was still there!
I have been going to LBI for 40 years, first with my parents and now with my husband and children. We have never rented the same house twice, that will change now. First and most important, it is ultra-clean. Jim's cleaning service does a fantastic job. The beds and furniture are very comfortable. There is plenty of cookware if that's what you are into and plenty of space. This area of is beautiful and quiet. We went out to dinner and did the rides in the center of the island a few nights and could not wait to get back to our quiet, little part of the island. You can walk to restaurants, ice cream &some cute stores. I cried pulling out of the driveway. We've done some great vacations, this may be the best. Thanks Jim - you are very professional and you care about your guests. Best week in LBI ever. Oh and if you have never done the TRAM, it's so easy and I think I prefer it. If you want to go to the beach after the tram stops running to do kites, drinks, etc there is no problem walking as long as you are not carrying a bunch of stuff. I give this house 5 stars!!
