Beautiful clean home. Front image of the house doesn’t reflect the open & spacious interior layout. The deck was my favorite spot in the house. Should know that it has many steps to get in & out of the house. So if you have a family member that has trouble navigating many steps, keep this in mind.

Perfect choice for our family! Kathryn is a gracious host truly opening up her lovely home and considerate to provide all the essentials. We appreciated the options of visiting the beach, hiking in nearby parks, or biking and especially kayaking from the dock in the backyard, or just sitting on the deck or the dock and truly relax. There is something for everyone! We’ve visited LBI for many years, staying on and off island at different rentals. Kathryn’s home is our favorite to date. It felt like ‘home’. ‘Serenity’ is the perfect description. We’d love to come back if available in the future!

If you'd like easy access to the shore as well as a calm body of water for kayaking and SUP, this place is for you! Clean, comfortable, accessible. Lots of amenities. We'll stay here again.

Serene getaway

My family and I celebrated the July 4th weekend in West Creek. The home was immaculate and well stocked. We enjoyed meaningful family time - playing games, including Connect Four, and kayaking the creek. The porch was very comfortable - views of the estuary were stunning - turtles, various birds. The home was conveniently located from Long Beach Island and Tuckerton. We welcome the chance to book this West Creek haven again, soon!

Beautiful setting!

Loved our stay! The house is lovely, and super clean and comfortable. Perfect setting on the water; we enjoyed the kayaks provided, as well as hanging out with the wildlife on the water. Close enough to drive to the island for beaches and restaurants. Host was super helpful and made check in/check out easy. We would love to return next year!

Nice house

The house was very nice and modern. It was well stocked. Beds and furniture were comfortable. I really enjoyed the porch and outdoor sofa. There were a lot of spiders on the ceiling entering the unit from the garage. Would have liked for them to be cleared out before our arrival. Overall we had a nice stay and I would recommend this property.

Hidden Gem

Honestly the pictures do not do it justice! This place was breathtaking! My family and I absolutely loved the views from the deck and all the things there was to do at the house. Kathleen had everything you could need for your stay. We enjoyed coming back from the beach each day and relaxing on the deck looking out on the water. This place is truly a hidden gem. We will be back for sure!

Summer vacation

This was a perfect get away for July 4th. My family and I were very excited to have a place on the water with water sports like kayaking and corn hole to play at night but the fire pit. It was serene and quiet. We enjoy the turtles coming out in the morning. The drive to the beach was perfect and we were able to enjoy the beach each day. The house was great! Updated and beautiful views of the wildlife refuge and sunsets. Each bedroom was perfect with lots of towels and bed linens comfy. Definitely a must for a family to enjoy days away!

Great place to get away!!!

The location was perfect for quiet relaxing mornings and good proximity to drive to the beaches easily! The host provided everything we needed. Beds were comfy. The kayaks were an awesome bonus--we had so much fun on them to get some good exercise in to start our day. The porch was a great place for morning coffee and reading a book. Such a relaxing, worry free vacation. Will definitely come back!!!

Great view, very nice property

It was very relaxing both being inside, or sitting on the deck outdoors, overlooking the creek and grasslands. The birds and sunrises were spectacular. The house is very comfortable, and nicely laid out. Having access to the dock and kayaks was an added bonus. The owner is very responsive and exhibited a genuine interest in our having an enjoyable stay. We also enjoyed its proximity to LBI and nature preserves.
