About this property

Barnegat Light, ocean block, classic 3/1, uncrowded beach, decks front and back

Looking for a getaway in a quaint and quiet beach town? Then head north on Long Beach Island to beautiful Barnegat Light! Widest beaches on Long Beach Island. Low population density.

The house is a comfortable classic 3 bedroom 1 bath well equipped. In the ocean block on a street with a very nice beach. It is all that is needed for a great vacation. Nice house. Nice street. Nice beach. Nice town. Nice island.

To save us both time - full weeks, June to October only, no pets, no smoking, Sunday to Sunday until Labor Day, then Tuesday to Tuesday. Please don't ask for exceptions.

The house is simple, yet well equipped and comfortable and located centrally in Barnegat Light. Large HD TV with COMCAST cable and high speed WiFi. Walk up the street to our quiet, guarded beach. We provide beach umbrella, four beach badges, four beach chairs, two belly boards and two bikes.

Across the main street is a deli and two blocks North a grocery store. Walk down the street to the bay - here you will find Viking Village which provides boutique shopping, a coffee shop, fish market, produce market, and a take-out or dine al fresco restaurant. It’s also fun to watch the commercial fishing boats bring in their latest catch or you can go fishing or take a Sunset Cruise on Miss Barnegat Light or a sailing adventure on the Barnegat Witch.

Use the bikes provided to explore all Barnegat Light has to offer: seven restaurants (Mustache Bills was featured on Diners and Drive Ins, Kubel’s was featured on Anthony Bourdain’s Parts Unknown), nature trails, ice cream parlors, boat rentals and other retail stores, bay beach (here you can launch kayaks, small boats or stand up paddle boards), mini golf (best on the island), tennis courts, pickle ball courts, playgrounds and more. You can bike or walk to just about everything in town. And don’t forget to visit the State park and climb the highlight of our town, “Old Barney.” The views of the ocean, bay and island from the top of the Barnegat Lighthouse are amazing. There are very nice nature trails in the lighthouse park and at the ocean front at 12th and 13th Sts. A nice museum is on 5th St. and a small one in Viking Village. There are two churches.

After a fun-filled day, retire back to your quiet home. Take a shower in the enclosed outside shower to rinse off all the sand. The unit is one story up and provides three bedrooms (bring your own linens - sheets, pillow cases, blankets, towels, washcloths etc.), a full bath (toilet, sink and tub/shower), well equipped kitchen and open concept living with a combined living/dining area. The dinning table sits 8. Use the deck furniture on the front and back decks to enjoy the outdoors while unwinding. Dine on the back deck which has a table for 6.

We rent from Sunday to Sunday during the Summer - that means you get to avoid heavy Saturday turnover traffic. In the fall after Labor Day we switch to Tuesday to Tuesday - so you can rent a week at a very low off-season rate even if the intended use is just a long weekend.

The weekly rates vary significantly between in-season and off-season. For 2024 the range is $575 to $2,295.

Please use the VRBO Contact Host feature to ask questions or if you seek deviations from the terms listed. Please do not use the reservation feature for such inquiries.

Full refund of payments (net of credit card charges and Vrbo charges (which will be up to them)) if government regulations prohibit renting during the rental period related to the corona virus. If you have to cancel, we will try to rent it to someone else and will refund your payments to us, to the extent we recover the amount from the replacement rental.

More details and the exact amenities included are listed below. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us. VRBO requires that be thru them, otherwise we would gladly share our contact information here. Again, use their Contact Host inquiry feature.

Wonderful Location
This was our 2nd year at this great location. Short walk and bike ride to everything you need at the shore. We did not get in the car once for our entire stay. Uncrowded beach with plenty of space, Whites Market two blocks away has excellent meats, poultry, produce, salads, deserts and anything you may have forgot to pack. Looking forward to next year.

Great place for family beach vacation
Rental could not have been easier. If you wanted to you could get away with 2 sets of clothes for each person and nothing else (I wouldn't recommend that). Bring your toiletries and food/pantry stuff and enjoy.

Cozy and inviting house in perfect location
Check in was a breeze. The house was clean and tidy with everything we needed. The outdoor shower and back deck were a wonderful bonus. The unit is a block from a beautiful beach, Viking Village and a short drive to the lighthouse in lovely Barnegat Light. Ken was easy to communicate with and very accommodating. We had a perfect week at the beach! Thank you!

Would definitely stay again
We are so charmed by this part of LBI. The location of this house was perfect. - half a block to the beach - a short bike ride to the ice cream shop - two blocks from the bay. We enjoyed the back deck and grilling. And fun to take surf lesson from the family who operate the 18th Grill. The owners of this property were responsive and super helpful with recommendations. Basic but perfect for a beach week with kids.

Perfect LBI week
We stayed just off-season (late June), and Barnegat Light was delightful, not many people on the beach or on the street, quiet and relaxing, totally unlike the LBI we were more familiar with. The house was perfect, just what we were looking for. A block from the beach, nice little deck in the front and a bigger one in the back with a grill, clean and tidy. Will definitely return!

Very convenient location — close to ocean, bay, Viking Village, 18th St. Cafe, and lighthouse and only minutes to Harvey Cedars and Surf City. A true low-key shore experience in beautiful Barnegat Light. Owner is very communicative and responsive. Dwelling is simple and functional.

Barnegat Light House
We had a great family vacation at Ken’s house in Barnegat Light. The location was perfect...we loved being able to walk to the beach everyday. The house was cute and the kitchen was fully equipped. We took full advantage of the back patio and loved the outdoor shower. Our only constructive feedback is that some of the fans and pieces of furniture had seen better days and could use updating. Overall, we were happy with our stay and thought Ken was a very nice and responsive owner.

Great house in the perfect location. The house had all we (family of 4, including 2 teenagers) needed. Well-equipped kitchen, decks with BBQ, large DR table, good sized bedrooms, and nice outdoor shower. They’ve clearly put a lot of thought into what guests need, and they’ve supplied most of it. We felt like the owners were there if we needed them, but otherwise stayed out of the way. Very clean property with cute decor. Obviously the proximity to the beach was the best part of all. Thanks for a great, relaxing vacation!

Very quiet and great owners
We stayed here for two weeks in August. Ken is a great owner. Very friendly and responsive. The house is on a quiet street and a short one block walk to the beach. It is convenient to Viking Village and the Lighthouse. The home is clean and everything works fine. There are 4 bicycles for you to use but you may chose to bring you own. The house is appropriately priced. If you want bigger and newer, you are going to pay more. If you are looking for a house that covers what you need when you stay at the beach at Barnegat Light then you should be very happy here.

Ideal location; comfortable and clean; great shore house
For those who know Barnegat Light, this house is perfectly located for walking to Viking Village, How You Brewin’ coffee shop, Off the Hook seafood takeout; White’s Market; Cassidy’s Seafood; Kubel’s restaurant; Daymark restaurant; Poppy’s Ice Cream, Dairy Queen; and the 18th Street Cafe restaurant is right next door. A lovely walk through the rolling dunes takes you to the great beach on this street. The house was clean and the kitchen was about as well equipped as I’ve ever seen in a rental (an egg poacher is not usually found in a shore rental!). The front and rear decks are terrific for relaxing, grilling, and eating. The outdoor shower, a must at the shore, is great. Overall, a very nice shore rental. I would recommend this place to others, and it’s a great value for the price.

Great Place For a Family Beach Week
We had the pleasure of spending the 4th of July week . The home was clean, airy and comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked and the main living area was a great place for all to gather. We especially enjoyed using the two porches each night. We loved being in quiet Barnegat Light and found we were able to easily get what odds and ends we may have forgotten at the little grocery store 2 blocks away. Thank you for a lovely week, we will be back!

Great time in Barnegat Light!
This was our first visit to Barnegat Light after vacationing on LBI for the past 20 years. We loved the house and how we were on the top floor with two decks to lounge on after a day at the beach. There was plenty of space both inside and out to store all of our stuff. The backyard is great for games, we played bocce ball and can jam after the beach. I loved the bike rack for our bikes and the outside shower (a must on our vacations) was perfect with a nice dressing area. Nice quiet section of the island.

About the host

Hosted by Ken & Pat Emens

Host profile image
Ken & Pat Emens Retired and live a few blocks away from this house. So, are generally around to address any problems.

Why they chose this property

My grandfather had the house built in 1960. It was the family beach house.

My brother and I bought it in 1970. I was up, he was down.

It was my family's Summer beach house from 1970 to 2003. It was a wonderful place for our three kids to spend the Summer while growing up. It has been updated over the years - kitchen, floors, walls, decks, appliances, A/C, electronics, furniture etc. While retaining a 1960's charm.

We love Barnegat Light, so built a place nearby in High Bar Harbor in 2003 for our retirement and sold our house in Pennsylvania that had been needed for our working years. Kept our half of this place as a rental.

My brother (also retired) and his wife still use the downstairs. They are usually only there a few days per week.

What makes this property unique

Has all that's needed for a good seashore vacation at a reasonable price.
