We had a wonderful stay at the Legacy Beach House in Point Pleasant, NJ. Eleven (13) of us—6 adults, 5 teens + 2 dogs—were there to celebrate a clean bill of health for the family matriarch and the home did not disappoint. The home was in excellent condition and included nearly everything we could need for the week—a well-stocked kitchen, firewood for the fire pit in the back, several beach tags, linens, top-of-the-line appliances, plenty of seating both inside and outside, wine fridge, coffee makers. We are a feasting family and we prepared most of our meals in the large kitchen. It had pretty much everything we needed. We also used the grill which is a great quality, nice-sized grill. It is due for a good cleaning but I imagine by the end of summer they all get pretty messy. We did need to refill the propane tank as the one there was empty. No biggie though. It was available right around the corner at the grocery.
The location was fantastic and only a quick walk to the beach, boardwalk, and other attractions. Plus, being on the lake was a lovely bonus with its peaceful atmosphere and beautiful views highlighted by the many ducks, swans, geese who live there. Shopping and dining were close by and plentiful. The city is a great spot for families and we enjoyed the aquarium and the Thursday night fireworks as well as live music right across the lake that we could enjoy from the patio out back of the house.
The beds were clean and comfortable and the AC kept the house nice and cool even though the sun hits the back late in the day. A nice breeze through the multi-panel sliding door made for great indoor-outdoor living with the deck and bar area off the kitchen. The basement had some fun games available, though it was pretty warm on the hotter/rainy days and a bit musty down there so we didn’t use it a ton. Especially when it had been raining. The back patio was beautifully hardscaped and well-lit and just awesome at night or in the early morning with a cup of tea and a book.
Geo was very responsive and friendly on the rare occasions we had to reach out (the house was short some beach tags and Geo was quick to offer reimbursement of our expense for tags). It’s clear the owners have great pride in their investment and in providing a memorable stay for guests.
Overall, I would highly recommend this rental. It was a pleasure to stay here and we felt right at home.
