Gilded Gimbel- Beach Haven

A true blending of old and new, this historically significant home just off the ocean in Beach Haven was built in 1900 by the Philadelphia Gimbel family for their use as a summer home. The house and property have been lovingly restored, expanded and updated, and filled with gorgeous, opulent fixtures and finishes befitting its heritage – all while preserving and highlighting the grace and elegance of its distinctive center hall colonial orgins.

Story Time at Camp Beardsley – Brant Beach

“Once upon a time there was a camp for boys who loved to sail and fish…” Join us for a whimsical and magical passage in time to a bygone era when summers on Long Beach Island were filled with the simple, natural pleasures offered by the sand and sea. The backdrop for this fantastic journey is a simply charming home that began its life on the ocean front and was carefully moved, rebuilt and updated in its current bayside location.

You will appreciate the beautiful modern finishes and amenities all while envisioning what it might have been like to spend a yesteryear summer at enchanting “Camp Beardsley”
