About this property

Charming Victorian Sunday-Sunday Rental

This EXCLUSIVELY, Sunday to Sunday Rental (in 5pm/ out 12pm) is located in Beach Haven’s lovely Historic District, a block to the beach and minutes from all restaurants and shops.
Custom furnished by a local designer, the Beach Haven Belle has open spaces that are festooned with porches bordered by front and back gardens. This ultimate beach cottage is rented on a weekly basis in high season and a three-night minimum in the off-season, this five-bedroom beach house is tastefully designed and appointed in keeping with the period of its neighboring Victorian Grande Dames.
The Beach Haven Belle's style marries traditional and contemporary in a warm open plan that accommodates an extended family sharing in five spacious bedrooms and two distinct and spacious living spaces that flow seamlessly to the outdoor garden “room” behind the house. Three full baths, an open-plan kitchen, laundry room, outdoor bathhouse, and a detached garage complete this old-style beach house custom built for the most discerning of contemporary beachcombers.
Reclaimed wood plank walls, aged zinc counters, 100-year-old barn wood scraped red oak floors, an Aga gas range, retro light fixtures, and a sailboat and lighthouse bunk bed for kids combine to make this truly a one of a kind designer-built gem.
It has a full front porch, all new baths, custom cabinetry made from reclaimed wood and all new appointments hand-picked by the designer. Vintage restored original furniture pieces were collected from antique dealers in Hudson, New York and up and down the East Coast.
In the kitchen, plank walls stained and painted to simulate driftwood, period-style moldings, interior restored windows with original mullions came from a Virginia Farmhouse and traditional mullion, Dade-County-rated storm windows and glass doors are throughout the rest of the house, custom wooden cabinetry and a nautical staircase with semi-open risers were made by local artisans. The best of old and new typifies this stormproof beauty that is the perfect beach home for a large family or for those hoping to make memories with visiting extended family or friends.
Please note that the owners live with their non-shedding, hypo-allergenic dogs in the house in the off-season. A deep clean by a professional company is done each spring before the guests arrive to insure no allergens are present in the sofas et al. However, individuals with strong allergies are best advised to look for alternative rentals.

Perfect Beach week

Despite even the tropical storm that rolled on thru the area we had an awesome time. The accommodations were excellent, clean and easy to make ourselves right at home. We enjoyed the spacious home and all of its wonderful amenities and the area was ideal for all of us to walk from mini golf to beach to restaurants and bars. We took bike rides and run/jogs every day. The back yard was delightful and relaxing along with the porch. Everyone was comfortable in the bedrooms and bathrooms, the outdoor shower was excellent also. The house comes with beach chairs, umbrella however we didn't realize and brought out own. The beach is about 5 mins walk from house which is so convenient and easy for our older children to have independence and be able to come and go as they pleased. The Pearl Street market is a favorite of ours and was just around the corner. The other restaurants we love going to each year are Black Whale, Bird & Betty's, Oyster Bar, Shell for music and sushi and the Engleside for a great beach bar. Seeing surfers early morning is always fun down in the southern part of island at Holgate. The teenage girls love hitting up the shopping in Beach Haven, esp Island Gypsy! I loved the Guapo coffee house (new for me) and the Tacos and empanadas at La Bamba were terrific too! We also walked past the Crepe place on Beach St. and were so excited to see that the couple who used to own the crepe place on Bay St from many years ago established it. Delicious. 4 ⭐️

Great house

Beautiful home that is very well kept. The house had everything we needed and was very spacious and had a great classy, beach vibe. Close to walk to everything, including restaurants, grocery store, fantasy island, and the beach. Loved not having to bring bath and beach towels as well as linens.We had seven adults in our group. I would highly recommend this property.

very nice time - we’d definitely book again

the house interior is so pretty and i loved the beachy decor. there’s a wonderful private outdoor shower in the backyard that’s perfect after beach days. the bedrooms were all decorated so nicely. there’s an ice cream parlor we all loved just halfway around the block - and a bike rental spot, surf shop that offers lessons and cafe - all within a block - so it was a prime location for us

Family Beach Week

The owner was incredibly responsive and proactive with this listing. They also made it seamless and easy to be ready to walk in day one and know exactly what to expect and what to do. Everything around the house is made to easily have a wonderful family vacation whether you’re cooking at home, walking to restaurants or other activities. Even the idea of going to the beach is made easy with lots of chairs, towels, and an outdoor shower that is designed so well that you could use it all the time. What an incredible place to make lasting family memories.

Fantastic vacation!!!

We had a great trip. The house is beautiful and spacious! Location, location, location...a block from the beach overlooking the park, two blocks from the market and restaurants, multiple ice cream choices right near by. Caroline (the owner) has done a spectacular job renovating the house and has all the necessities waiting for you from toilet paper to spices. We will definitely be back to stay at 118 Amber!

Beautiful home & the perfect LBI location!

We just returned from a wonderful weeklong stay. The home was recently renovated from top to bottom. The decor is truly special and the home is well appointees with everything you could ask for. The owners were very welcoming and helpful throughout our stay. The location can't be beat. The beach is a lovely stroll up the street and all of the attractions of Beach Haven are a short walk or bike ride away. I hope to return soon!

Beach Haven Belle

The Beach Haven Belle is so aptly named, living up to the image its name implies of beauty, charm, and substance, while leaving an impression on its guests of sincere hospitality from the first step onto the hydrangea-graced porch. It is such a pleasure to stay in a home whose owners care so deeply about the design, quality, comfort, convenience and care of it. Our family had a wonderful time in Beach Haven and felt nothing but at ease in this home, a true vacation! It is very well-equipped and the owners are generous with the provision of home, as well as beach, amenities. This is a vacation home that guests who fly to the area would find truly accommodating! Of great significance to our entire family is the fact that we did not need to drive a car for the entire week we were there. The house is incredibly convenient to all that Beach Haven has to offer. It is an easy stroll to the beach, and we walked to every restaurant, park, playground, ice cream shop, grocery store and of course, the favored Pearl Street Market, just around the block. Back at the house, the inviting front porch was a favorite morning and evening spot, as was the dining and sitting area in the back of the house. It is such a comfort to arrive from the beach, also, to the beautiful patio out back. The outdoor shower is always a great hit! Settling down and waking up in such lovely and comfortable bedrooms truly enhanced our entire stay. We all still talk about our stay in Beach Haven Belle as we reminisce or speak to others about the area, and we are so grateful to have found this house and these owners.

The Beach Haven Belle a beautifully decorated and well appointed Jersey Shore cottage!

From the moment we arrived at this charming and beautifully designed seashore cottage, we were spellbound. How often do advertised photographs meet with expectation?! This lovely airy home complete with fresh hydrangea from the garden definitely fits the bill. With amenities for a carefree vacation at the shore and a fully equipped home for family life and entertaining, the Beach Haven Belle was a perfect match for our three generation family. Located in the charming and wonderfully maintained historic neighborhood in Beach Haven, we enjoyed the nearby Pearl Street Market, a neighborhood park, a play structure at a local church, and a very short walk to the dunes and beach. Our only wish was that we could stay for another week. We also had the fortunate opportunity to meet the hospitable and very gracious owners of the property, which made our stay even more welcoming and enjoyable. If you are looking for the charm and air of the seashore in a fabulous cottage, this is the place. You will not be disappointed! Arlene Grant Danville, California

Beach Haven in the Palm of Your Hand

Once again, we greatly enjoyed our stay at this property in the heart of Beach Haven. It's hard to imagine a more perfect location: a block from the beach, a block from from restaurants, mini-golf, ice cream shops, the incredible Pearl Street Market, tennis courts, baseball/LAX fields, surf shop, and bike/board rentals. Venture over another block and it's Murphy's grocery store, and the all that Beach Haven has to offer for restaurants (The Oyster Bar, The Black Whale, Buckalew's, etc.) and shops such as How to Live. Having three teenagers and a tween, there is no shortage of things to keep them busy that are also very close by. That makes for a much more enjoyable vacation for the parents, too. That being said, we've had a number of visitor come in and say, "this beach house would be perfect for a girls' getaway." Agreed. But I think it has appeal for just about any family or group. But if you don't want to move an inch, this beach house is an absolute beautiful, one-of-a-kind property with a restful back patio to lounge in or have a family meal.The bedrooms are spacious with ceiling fans and large beds. The design throughout the house is so appealing: sort of a French country living meets the Shore. In the evening, it all looks a bit magical with the special lighting elements. Everything you need is there, including beach badges and beach chairs for all. The neighboring homes are also quite nice, and so it has a quiet small town America feel to the block, yet it is just a few blocks from the very center of the Beach Haven nightlife. Moreover, the property owner is always attentive, prompt, and easy to work with. It's been a pleasure. After staying here two summers in a row (and having stayed in many other homes in Beach Haven, Harvey Cedars, and Surf City over the years), I can't imagine a better spot to enjoy LBI. Until next year, Beach Haven... Mark R. Mt. Vernon, VA

Dream wedding

We rented this home where our wedding ceremony was held and the home inside and out made the wedding photos turn out incredible. The home is clean and extremely lovely, while the owner went over and beyond to be accommodating. My wedding was xtra beautiful just because of the home. Thank you sooooo much!

Beautiful, functional and relaxing

Stayed here with my kids, significant other, father and mother. The property was beautiful, large enough to accommodate everyone, and very relaxing. While the kitchen could have had more room for utensils and kitchen tools, this was really the only issue we had. We will definitely put this home on our short list when we return in a few years (although we might try to find something a bit less expensive first).

Why they chose this property

My husband grew up vacationing on Long Beach Island. He was a lifeguard on the island for seven years as a young man. When we married, I passed the 'causeway test', what every potential wife or husband must go through before wedding. I fell in love with LBI and decided to renovate and work on the island doing beach house design, restoration and renovation.

What makes this property unique

This house is perfect for family-reunions, extended families and multi-generational families sharing or celebrating.
The garden stands out as the most peaceful and beautiful place to both begin and end the days. I love the beautiful views from both master bedrooms, the one-block-away amazing beach and access to all the town has to offer by foot. I especially love that Pearl Street Market is around the corner. It's a great place for socializing. The beach up the street is one of the nicest you an find on the East Coast.
Around the corner, a 15-capacity home is available for rent. Combined, the package rental of the adjoining properties is perfect for a 25-person family reunion or wedding.
