Squid lips cabana was an absolutely great trip! We all fit so comfortably. The beach chairs, toys, bikes all made our stay effortless especially with young kids. The cart waiting for you at pick up was a life saver. Inside, the open kitchen and screened in porch became the gathering place and perfect for all meals. The house is located close to town that our little ones could run and make a fun game out of counting deer, but also felt tucked away enough that the nightlife crowd was not seen or heard. Close proximity to the beach. This house has everything you need for a great low key week at the beach!

Great place in a great location !

We rented Squid Lips to gather our family of 8 adults. The home was absolutely perfect for us. The owners supplied everything we needed to feel like we were at home away from home. From the kitchen with the island that invited gatherings for cooking and & great conversation to the outside deck that provided breezy evenings to gather around the dinner table, we all agreed that the house checked all the boxes for us. Great A/C, wifi and comfy beds and pillows. The bikes, chairs & beach umbrella got a workout as we strolled to the beach with most everything inside the cart and radio flyer that the owner provided as well. The ice maker in the fridge was a bit of a challenge, but the owner was very upfront about that and there’s plenty of ice available in town, which is literally a little more than a stones throw away. Having the Kuerig to pop in our Kcups for a fresh morning coffee at our fingertips was appreciated and frequently used! We had another family member renting a home on Ocean Beach at the same time, and even though their place was the second house from the beach on the ocean side, every time we gathered the families, we all ended up at Squid Lips. We highly recommend that anyone looking to vacation in Ocean Beach should consider this home for a great FI vibe!

Excellent Family Vacation

Enjoyed our time at this property. House was beautiful and fully equipped with everything we needed. Plenty of beach towels, chairs, umbrellas, beach toys for little ones, and two wagons. Screened in porch was great for enjoying the evenings with a great breeze. Upstairs bunk bed room would be great for kids.

A kiss for Squid Lips

This is a great property in a perfect location to access all that Ocean Beach has to offer. Fire Island is one of our all time favorite places and this house catered to all of it. Bikes, nice open kitchen to cook together in, back deck, outdoor shower, etc. The house fit two families with kiddos comfortably. Seamless arrival and departure. Thanks, Margie!

Beautiful Beach House

My family had a wonderful time at Squid Lips Cabana. The house is gorgeous and beautifully decorated. There was plenty of room to spread out and the bedrooms were spacious with comfortable beds. The house was stocked with everything you need and then some. There are plenty of beach chairs, towels and toys for the littles. It's truly a home away from home. The location is great too, right near town and short walk to the beach. Margie was quick to respond to any questions we had. We would love to visit again...Definitely recommend

Fabulous Family Getaway at Squid Lips Cabana

My family and I had a wonderful week at Squid Lips Cabana. Margie was incredibly communicative and sensitive to our needs, especially during COVID. The house had all the amenities you need for a home away from home including plenty of beach chairs, wagons, towels, umbrellas and more! We are looking forward to visiting again!
