We were grandparents, children, and grandchild. Our week coincided with the heat wave that developed the country. Our stay at mermaid Manor helped us deal with that terrible heat. Clean, comfortable and beautiful. The house was well stocked and airy. Being less than a block from the bay and the beautiful sunsets allow us each evening to cool off and sit in the gazebo as we watch the sunset. Thank you, Lyn.
Just got back from our wonderful stay in Ship Bottom. House was on a lovely residential street that dead-ended at the bay. Ocean was just a few blocks in the other direction. Very close to Hotel LBI (walking distance). Despite the rain, there was plenty to do - ping png and other games in the garage. House was immaculately clean and very spacious with two separate living room areas and porches. Check in was a breeze and Jaclyn was super responsive. Would highly recommend this house and hostess! So seamless and easy - a great way to spend a beach weekend.
Lovely home, view of the bay, short walk to the beach
Our families had a great time at the house. Ping pong table was great for the kids. Kitchen had everything we needed, and everything was very clean. Great place for a get away!
The house was clean, in a great location, had plenty of space and there were tons of extras (beach equipment, etc.) that made our stay very enjoyable. Loved being able to walk to the beach!
We spent a week at this house in Ship Bottom, and it was a comfortable place for our family! The location was convenient because it was close to the bay, walking distance to the beach, and close to restaurants/activities. Lyn was super responsive and a pleasure to work with. Mermaid Manor is a gem!
The house is very nice. It has 2 separate living areas which is a great feature. Beautiful views of the sound. Close enough to the beach. The house was very clean and Lyn was really easy to work with. If we come back to LBI I will definitly book here again.
We stayed at this property for 3 nights to attend a wedding at the Hotel LBI. The house was spacious and clean and the house rules clearly laid out/posted for guests; host was responsive when needed. Plenty of seating for relaxing and dining.
Since guests are instructed to bring their own towels, I would suggest also bringing an extra one or a mat for stepping out of the shower onto the tile floor to avoid the possibility of slippingâŠfor safety đ.
Enjoyed our stay!
The property was clean and allowed our family to have plenty of space. We enjoyed spending time out on both decks which provided great views. It was half-a-block to the bay for viewing the sunsets and a short walk to the beach to enjoy the sand and waves. I definitely hope to return in the future. It was a great vacation home and Lyn responded very quickly to each of our questions!
The house was very clean and well stocked. The description on the website was very accurate.
Our family was there for an extended weekend and the house fit our needs. Very spacious.
The owner was pleasant to deal with and responded immediately to any questions. Would stay at this property again.
The house was extremely clean and fresh. Great location and views. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen was perfect. Basement has ping pong table. Only wish that Lyn could have controlled the weather with as much attention to detail as she set up the house :). Would love to come again!!
The property and location were amazing. The area in ship bottom was quiet and family friendly. You could walk or bike to the beach as well as breakfast spots, luch and dinner, mini golf, drinks and ice cream! We had great weather all week which made the stay even more enjoyable!
Thank you.

The house was on a nice quiet street, with views of Barnegat Bay. The bedrooms were comfortable and the shared living space was comfortable with two televisions. I loved the additional family room on the second floor. Two big decks - just a perfect beach house! Beautiful new kitchen..everything you need for a perfect beach vacation.
Beautiful house with two great decks! The top deck has an awesome view of the bay and it is where we ate our dinner meal every night. The house is in perfect condition and is a great place to share with family. Lots of space for entertaining. Short walk to playground by the bay and recreation area. Cannot wait to come back next year! Thanks Lyn for being such a great host and sharing your wonderful house with us!
First time visiting LBI and Jaclyn home added to the experience. Warm spacious home with plenty of room to hang out and enjoy the beach air. There 2 large decks; one is open to the sun and stars and lower deck is cover with plenty of shade. The ground level has air hockey and ping pong table, awesome! thanks Jaclyn for sharing your home with us.
Was a wonderful few days at the beach in a lovely home, perfect for my family of 7, safe and quiet neighborhood. Very clean. Owners were very nice, communicative, and helpful. House had everything we needed. Short walk down the street to the beach or an even quicker drive. Found parking for my elderly mother near the beach every day. Hope we can stay in this terrific house again.
We had a really lovely stay here, we were pleasantly surprised that the house actually looked better than the pictures, which is not usually how these rentals work. Jaclyn was in touch but not intrusive, the location of the place was perfect, the balconies were wonderful, and it was extremely clean when we got there. We were also excited to find a ping pong table and an air hockey table in the basement, which were not in the pictures. Would definitely recommend.
Enjoyed a short weekend at the house with the family. Found it easy to locate. Tons of room. Never on top of each other.
Kids could ride bikes on the dead end street. Or to the beach. Beach is a short walk, as are local eateries and shops, if you prefer to travel by foot.
Would definitely consider staying here again. Encourage you to give it a shot too.
This house almost fulfilled our needs. There was plenty of space for the 8 of us and the 8 and 6 year old loved the air hockey table and ping pong. The outdoor shower was a âhitâ and the walk to the beach was doable. We had perfect weather which is always a plus. The only downside were the kitchen supplies. We do cook and with a 17 month old it was easier for us to eat in. There were plenty of dishes and mugs but not much glassware. The 2 frying pans caused everything to stick despite using plenty of butter and oil. There was no Tupperware to store leftovers so we purchased our own. There was only one cookie sheet and a 9x12 pan which made baking a challenge. I had read that the knives were not sharp and that was correct! The grill was not clean enough to use so we had to resort to the oven. All in all we had a wonderful time and managed to be creative with the lack of kitchenware. ThThank you, Jacklyn!
The home is more gorgeous than the pictures depict. You can walk to the most gorgeous bay views at the end of the road and the decor and outdoor spaces were just stunning. The house was clean and everything worked well. We had an amazing time and we couldâve spent a much longer vacation there very happily.
We were visiting the shore for a wedding. The condo was awesome. The location was perfect, the condo has plenty of room and is very inviting. We would stay again if we come back to NJ. Wally's for lunch is recommended.
