About this property

OCEANSIDE DUPLEX, ALWAYS 100% BOOKED. 1st Floor

This listing is for the 1ST FLOOR of LBI BEACH, our beloved Duplex in Beach Haven Gardens, Long Beach Island, NJ. It is completely separate from the 2nd floor which has its own outside entrance. The 2nd Floor is also available for rent, VRBO listing #81488.

LBI BEACH: OCEANSIDE DUPLEX IN BEACH HAVEN GARDENS
12 Houses from Lifeguarded Beach
2 Units for Rent: VRBO# 1593958 and VRBO# 81488
Each floor accommodates 6 people max (including children + guests)
3 Bedrooms (1 Queen, 4 Twins) and 1 Bath Per Unit
Beach Haven Gardens is filled with great restaurants + Wawa
1 Mile from the heart of Beach Haven.
No pets, No Smoking.

WELL-MAINTAINED HOME
We take pride in keeping our house feeling fresh for every guest. Since a full renovation 10 years ago, we've added new decks (2021), central air (2024), and new bedroom carpeting and a hot water heater (2026). We're always updating something! We give the house a thorough refresh every June, and a professional cleaning company handles all change-overs before each family arrives.

ALWAYS 100% BOOKED
We've rented every summer week for the past 25 years, with wonderful feedback along the way. Many guests return year after year — some for 20+ years running! We love that our home has become part of so many families' summer traditions on LBI.

UNBEATABLE LOCATION
Situated in the Beach Haven Gardens section of LBI, our oceanside house means no crossing busy Long Beach Boulevard to reach the sand — just 12 houses to our lifeguarded beach. It's a quiet neighborhood but close to everything: Howard's Restaurant, WaWa, Queen City Crust, Beach Bum Eatery, Marvel's Bakery, California Pizza & Grill, Spray Beach Bagel & Deli, The Beach House Restaurant, Delaware Ave Oyster House, Terrace Tavern, Elite Fitness, Fritzies Liquor, and The Boulevard Motel are all within a few walking blocks. The heart of Beach Haven, with Fantasy Island Amusement Park, Arcade, Thundering Surf Water Park, Mini Golf, and Bay Village shopping, is only a mile south.

WHAT'S INCLUDED
Each unit sleeps a maximum of 6 people (including children). 3 bedrooms (1 queen, 4 twins), with a full bathroom (tub), living room, full kitchen, dining for 6, and a deck with picnic table. You'll also have central air, a stackable washer/dryer, dishwasher, 2 TVs with DISH, parking for 2 cars, free WiFi, and 4 included beach badges (kids under 12 free). Out back: 1–2 propane grills, a seating area with fire pit, and an outdoor shower.

As with most Jersey Shore rentals, sheets and towels aren't provided — happy to recommend a few local companies that deliver them right to the house.

Thank you for considering our home for your family's next LBI beach vacation!

Fun in the Sun beachouse fit our family just right. The house is shiney clean, the furniture and beds were like new, and the porch was our favorite place to be. The outdoor shower made beach cleanup a breeze, and the washer dryer setup was such a big help. We spent many hours at the beach, and having a house so close made our vacation...easy breezy.

Joe and Diane's stay

Our overall our stay was very nice. The house was very clean and nicely equipped. As an avid griller I was disappointed by the grills they were left dirty and the propane tanks were left empty. It was an easy walk to the beach and there were a lot of restaurants and shops near by. The house was furnished very nicely and comfortable.I will definitely consider renting next year.

Perfect Stay for a long weekend

Adrienne’s property is very nice. It looks exactly how it is listed. It is within walking distance to the beach or the bay, with nice walkable food options around. It is about a 5 minute, or less, drive to Beach Haven and Fantasy Island. As a host, Adrienne was extremely accomodating and was also very easy to communicate with. She answered any of my questions immediately. We would be very happy to rent from her again!

About the host

Hosted by Adrienne Brautigan

Host profile image
My husband and I both grew up living in New York/New Jersey and loved visiting LBI with our families. It was dream come true to buy our beach house here in 2001. A year later, we were transferred to Georgia. Since then, we have been able to enjoy our beach house for a few weeks each June, and then rent it out for the remaining months of the summer, fall, and spring. We have been fortunate to have so many terrific families that rent our house. Some have been renting from us for 20+ years!

Why they chose this property

We love 32nd Street! It is close to all our favorite places. We especially love getting up early to see the sunrise over the ocean, and in the evenings, watching the sun set right on our bay. We have wonderful neighbors who truly care about us and our house. Many of our tenants have become friends with them too!

What makes this property unique

We are in the great location of Beach Haven Gardens. We are 12 houses from a beautiful lifeguarded beach. We are within a few minute walk of WaWa, Terrace Tavern, Delaware Oyster House, Howard's Restaurant on the bay, Marvel's Bakery, California Pizza, and so much more. We're a 1 mile ride to Fantasy Island Amusement Park and the town of Beach Haven and Surflight Theater. So many fun things to do on Long Beach Island.
