A lovely spot

We had a short and sweet stay here (2 adults and 2 kids, ages 5 and 7). The beach is within walking distance. The house has chairs, sand pails, etc. The outdoor shower has hot water and the water gets hot immediately. The piers, restaurants, and playgrounds are all a short distance and very nice. We would totally come back. But, next time we would bring spare towels and more clothes in order to avoid having to go to a laundromat.

Beach Bungalow

Two and a half blocks to the beach, this small 2 bedroom was just great for us. We walked the boardwalk, got breakfast a block away and saw the sun set over the bay. There were a couple of comfy chairs outside with a table for our Scrabble board, so we were happy.

Down the Shore

Lavallette is a family town, with plenty of shops and great places to eat. The beaches are beautiful and clean. This bungalow is a block in from the bay and 3 blocks from the beach. There is a park at bayside, with a beautiful view of sunset. This is a "back house" so you need to park on the street. Since I was there off season, parking wasn't an issue. The bungalow itself it cute, ground level, tile floor, 2 BD, open LR to KT floor plan. Kitchen & bath were newer and in great shape. Comfortable couch, TV with cable & internet services available. I would have appreciated a new outdoor light for when coming home after dark. I enjoyed my stay at this bungalow.

Everything you would need for the Jersey Shore experience! Outdoor shower, house returned to its original 1950s charm, close to everything! Mattress was firm if you like that kind of thing. We loved staying here and will return next time we travel to NJ!

Very cute and nicely renovated cottage. Mix of new and vintage and more spacious/ better than the pics. The owner addressed any issues kindly and promptly. It was a perfect size for a family of 3. I would personally stay again since I slept well. My husband found the bed too firm.

Michael, Thank you for a fabulous stay. We had everything we needed. We will stay here again. In addition to the beach, we were a 90 minute drive to my hometown in Bergen County NJ, to Philadelphia, to the Statue of Liberty, and to Times Square NYC. Thank you again, Tom F (San Diego)

About the host

Hosted by Michael Hill

I grew up on this property and now reside four blocks away, using this as a rental home. It's an example of the Lavallette of yesteryear: a small but charming cottage with just what a couple or family might need for a shore vacation: indoor living space, screened in porch for dining and lounging, enclosed outdoor shower. House has a lot of memories for hopefully will generate more good memories for you.
