We had a great winter stay at this house for a family reunion. We had 12 total (4 separate family groups) staying and everyone had their own private space to go to, which was nice. The amenities during the winter are less (e.g., pool, hot tub closed, didn't utilize the beach chairs, towels, beach much), but it was nice as LBI wasn't crowded. (However, a lot of restaurants, stores, etc. were definitely closed). It truly is a hop, skip and jump away from the beautiful shore, and easily walkable (even for my elderly parents with a walker).
It was nice as we were able to check in a bit earlier as it was a slow season time period. The huge kitchen table was a bonus for us to all be able to sit together. The kitchen supplies were decent (not top notch, but work!). Small items that you need for cooking would have been nice to have as a staple there (we forgot vegetable oil, cooking spray, salt and pepper, coffee filters). For the cost of the house per day, it would have been nice not to have to lug toilet paper, paper towels, tissue, facial tissue, dish washing pods, plastic bags for small garbage bins, etc. (Making you more likely to take everything with you vs. leaving it for the next person). There was some confusion on check out (We didn't know we had to wash our bath towels prior to leaving to avoid a $150 fee) - from our understanding, it was the beach towels from the basement, which we didn't use. Regardless, beautiful huge house, free cable and wifi, and enjoyed our stay!
