Gorgeous, Peaceful Lakehouse, close to ocean, shopping, dining
Cannot emphasize enough how comfortable and well-equipped this home is — perfect for cozy stays or as a home base for beach and town visits. Views of the lake and lake wildlife from almost every vantage point in the house, unobstructed views from the gorgeous and comfortable porch. This house includes row boat and life vests for journeying out on the lake. As gorgeous as the pictures! Ideal kitchen for beginner and skilled cooks, alike! Plenty of supplies (towels/chairs, etc.) for beach visits — beach and historical boardwalk (including Stone Pony music club!!) just over a mile away. Even in winter, the coziness of this home is perfect for watching the snow fall or seeing the seagulls and other water birds enjoy the partially frozen lake. Dan, the owner, is a very gracious and responsive host — willing to field any questions or needs that may arise. For my extended stay in this home (2 months +) I did not experience any difficulties or problems with this property. All bedrooms (3), bathrooms (2.5) are welcoming, comfortable, well-appointed with amenities (master bath is especially spacious), brightly decorated with cheerful decor. Washer and dryer in basement are handy & well-stocked with supplies. Safe, well cared for neighborhood, ample parking (driveway, street). Overall a wonderful place to relax or plan your next adventure to beach or beyond! I give this home my highest recommendation for peaceful getaways to active family adventures. Loved it!

Lakeside house
Beautiful, well-stocked Lakeside house. Clean, quiet and easy to find. Was able to walk the neighborhood with no problems. Very relaxing porch views. Dog friendly. Owner was easily available via email or text.

Wonderful Stay!
My family and I really enjoyed our stay at this beautiful property. The house is unique in that it is located directly on the lake yet you are about 1-1.5 miles from the beach. We found it to be very peaceful sitting on the back porch with a cup of coffee or glass of vino watching the ducks swim in the lake and the squirrels chasing each other around the yard. The boardwalk is also located nearby which had some great restaurants and also allowed us to walk off all of the delicious food whenever we were done eating... lol! Lastly, I would like to comment that Dan(the owner) was phenomenal. He touched based with me on several occasions prior and during our stay to make sure that we were comfortable. He had a list(via email and printed copy) of recommendations for restaurants and other things to do. He also provided us with a welcome bag filled with all sorts of goodies that was very much enjoyed and appreciated. This place is a nice little gem that provided the rest & relaxation that my family needed for a week. We would definitely consider coming back again!

Tranquil environment along the lake
I had a wonderful experience. The home was the peaceful environment I was looking for and perfect for a small intimate dinner party with friends. I had the unexpected treat of watching beautiful birds and turtles hangout daily in front of the home. It was also only 5 minutes from the beach and Asbury Boardwalk.

Amazing house and location
We spent a wonderful month at this property. The house was very clean and exactly as depicted. It was very comfortable and the kitchen was even better stocked than we were expecting. The back porch was just amazing. We will miss the views, canoeing, and fishing out back. The location was great as well. Best VRBO we’ve stayed at!

Perfect getaway in Asbury
We had the best time at this beautiful home in Asbury - on one of the prettiest blocks in town. Dan’s home is so stylish and unique for a rental home - feels like you are in a boutique hotel! Vintage games and records! Really cool mid century furniture and a great assortment of books. The outside setting is magical. We spent so many days and evenings on the back deck and sitting by the lake. Within minutes you are at the beach or in downtown Asbury with so many great restaurants. We are so glad we stayed at this gem and experienced Asbury this way!

Highly Recommend!
My family loved staying at Dan's home. The house offers a lovely respite as it sits on a quiet inlet with egrets, herons, and the occasional kayaker or fisherman passing by. At the same time, we were less than a mile from the beach. We spent a lot of time outside on the porch reading, talking, and sharing meals. Dan has updated his home beautifully and we felt very comfortable watching TV, listening to his albums, and cooking together in the kitchen and using the new grill. Dan communicated well with us before we arrived and left us wine and chocolate for our arrival. The AC works very well which helped when the weather was 90 degrees. We were able to get food deliveries from Wegman's and from Whole Foods--and from local restaurants(the doughnuts from Purple Glazed are amazing!) We are already looking forward to returning for another vacation. Thanks, Dan!

Lovely house in a beautiful setting
We loved our stay in Dan's gorgeous, comfortable house. The kitchen has everything a cook could possibly need, the living room and big-screen television were perfect for our movie nights, and the view of the lake from most rooms made us happy every time we looked out. We used the bikes to explore the pretty neighborhoods nearby, and to get over to the beach for walks. Dan even left us a welcome gift of wine and coffee and chocolate. It was a great place to self-isolate for a. month!

Beautiful and well kept home
A peaceful retreat from the city on the lake! The home was comfortable and in a great location to be quiet but accessible to the boardwalk with a nice walk

Beautiful Place for a Beautiful Vacation
What’s not to love about this place? An idyllic setting on Deal Lake, this house was our perfect vacation getaway, where we felt indulged but at home from the moment we entered. Dan treated us to a delightful welcome basket, which included a comprehensive guide to the house, flyers for some of the local venues, a map of the area, a bottle of sparkling wine, and the way straight to my heart: a bag of locally roasted coffee. We were immediately in love. Visually, the house is well-captured in the photos, with its inviting and mod decor. The blue couch is super comfortable for cozying up to watch a movie, as is the mattress in the master bedroom. (Incidentally, I slept better at Dan’s house than I have in a while! Dan: what kind of mattress is that? lol!) Modern conveniences (e.g., keyless entry, NEST thermostat, hi-definition television with all kinds of options) complement the home’s original charm (hardwood floors, glass doorknobs), and we happily took advantage of everything. We played Scrabble (I dominated! haha!), listened to a bunch of nostalgic records from Dan’s collection, cooked in the amazingly well-appointed kitchen (and on that incredible grill, too), lounged for hours on the porch, made friends with some misfit ducks, built a fire down by the lake (so romantic!), and even took out the canoe a couple of times. We really fell in love! And while we stayed in more than we went out, the house is perfectly located to explore the ever developing Asbury Park ... and only a short drive/cab-ride to the coast (and Silverball PINBALL :)). We spent the most amazing week and a half here that we’ll always remember. If you’re planning a trip to Asbury Park, this is the place to stay. Thank you for everything, Dan!

Caroline- Thank you for the review and kind comments. I'm thrilled that you enjoyed your stay at the house. Do come back whenever you want. You asked about the mattress in the master bedroom. My foggy memory is that it came from Macy's (along with the bed). And I've had that Scrabble game since I was a kid. It's almost 50 years old now and still holding up. Ha ha! Thanks once again for your visit and your thoughtful review. Be well! -Dan

This Place is Paradise!
We just returned from Asbury Park and this lovely, charming home. We were drawn to this rental by the pictures of the beautiful house and lake, and it absolutely delivered!! I just can't think of one thing that was not available in the home. As others have mentioned, sitting on the porch by the lake was the best part. Dan, the owner, is fantastic! He will send you all of the information that you need in a clear, concise way that I really appreciated. He is easily reached, very attentive and will provide a lot of recommendations for a great stay in Asbury. This home is a short distance from the beach and many good restaurants. Thanks, Dan, for a great vacation!

Beautiful home with easy access to all the wonderful Jersey beaches
Dan has a very charming home and covers all the little details that make for a very enjoyable stay. Dan clearly wants to make sure that you are comfortable in his house and enjoy all that the surrounding areas offer. In addition, he is attentive and responsive during your visit, promptly answering any questions or helping with any issues you may have. While he takes care of all the basics that you expect, it's done in a first class manner. His home was extremely clean and very well maintained. Some of the things I didn't expect, but thoroughly enjoyed, were the use of bikes for my entire family, going for a canoe ride, enjoying drinks by the lake, and the use of a vinyl record player and extensive collection of records. . . brought me back a bit. It turned a beach week into much more. Dan's house allows you to enjoy the beautiful Jersey shore in wonderful accommodations at a reasonable price. I look forward to a return visit next year!
