3rd stay !

I love this house ! 3rd time here - we usually come up annually to visit family and friends. You can walk to the beach, walk down Main Street for coffee or a variety of places to eat, there is a 7/11 near by, a grocery store right down the street, and they have the most dog friendly house I’ve ever used as a Vrbo. All that plus easy, direct, and kind communication from the owners. The house is always clean and stocked so well, and we noticed quite a few upgrades this year as well. All this to say, out of all the places we have traveled with our pups, this is by far the absolute best and the only one we return to every year.

Excellent stay

We’ve stayed at many places and this is at the top of the list! Great location near lakes and ocean, pickleball courts, train station, and restaurants, and the house itself was very clean, comfy, and spacious. The communication with owners was terrific - quick responses to questions and helpful tips - since this was our first time in the area.

Magical house and shed

We had a wonderful 7 days at this magical home which seemed to expand to fit our needs and the space distribution was perfect for cooking together, board games, having coffee outside - both front porch and the large table in the back yard. The shed had everything we needed for the beach, and the walk was within quick walking distance, including one route which took us straight by Lake Como. We spent our mornings at the home lounging, our afternoons at the beach, and our evenings playing Settlers of Cataan and & Wonders. The outdoor shower was a hit with everyone, and we all slept well with the window units air-conditioning. The dishwasher and the washer and dryer worked great, and the keyless entry was so easy for a large group. Our pups enjoyed the backyard, and all the walks by the lake around the beautiful neighborhoods on the other side of the lake. We appreciated being close enough to walk to the shore with enough distance that our days and nights were peaceful and quiet. The host and hostess were communicative, accessible, and kind. The house was a great shore cottage, We hope to return to this space again.

Lovely house and amenities

We enjoyed our stay so much! The house is well kept with all the necessary amenities provided. We enjoyed the comfy L-shaped couch on the rainy days watching the Olympics and the outdoor porch as well. Walked and biked to the beach - great beach location with lots of places to eat nearby.

Another year of memories

This is our 5th year staying here. After a two year hiatus, the updates were very welcoming. The kitchen update was amazing and the addition of a dishwasher was most welcoming when you feed a crew. Everyday was a beach day. We can’t wait for next year. This house is our home for a week.

Memories

This is a very nice house. I can’t think of anything we needed. We had perfect weather and enjoyed the beach everyday which is a short walk, approximately 15 minutes . For our morning walk we went around Lake Como which was only two blocks away and had a comfortable path around the lake. We were pleasantly surprised by how cool the house was during the hot days. The front porch for morning coffee and the backyard where we sat after dinner while my grandchildren and grand puppy ran off energy, were both perfect. Great memories were made at this house and I would highly recommend a stay there. Plus we had an internet question and the owner was rapid with a response.

Another Great Stay!

Just wrapped up another great stay at this fantastic Bel Mar bungalow. The house is on a quiet street with friendly neighbors... walking distance to the beach, and just a few blocks off Main Street where you'll find lots of restaurants open all year round. Cathlin and David are constantly improving this already adorable spot, with the latest update being a completely renovated kitchen. Loved the addition of a dishwasher, but the best perk about this the Lake Como cottage is the fenced-in yard for people and pups to enjoy. Will definitely stay again!

About the host

Hosted by David and Cathlin Shapiro

We have owned this property for 7 years, and we are dedicated to constantly improving our home for you to enjoy it! Our primary residence is only 40 minutes away from Belmar, so we are available for your questions and to address any issues should they arise during your visit.

Why they chose this property

We looked at many houses in the Belmar area before falling in love immediately with this property. It had everything on our "checklist" - 3 bedrooms, front porch, outdoor shower, off-street parking and a shady backyard. The house was built in 1920 and you can feel how solid it is. It is spacious enough inside for a large group of people to feel like they are not on top of one another. We really enjoy the front porch the most!

What makes this property unique

Close proximity to Lake Como, a beautiful lake to takes walks around. 18th Avenue beach has all the amenities - playground, ice cream, pizza, restrooms. Easy walk to Main St in Belmar.
