Can you believe Labor Day weekend is behind us already? We’ve had such a fantastic season here on LBI, it’s hard to believe summer is over. But that doesn’t mean the fun has to end! There’s still plenty to do and experience, and all while enjoying the comforts of having your own custom home on LBI. As a local LBI builder for more than three decades, we know all that our shore towns have to offer. From night climbs up Old Barney to farmers markets, live theatre, and of course the local favorite, Chowderfest, LBI has something for everyone any time of year.
Before building a custom a home on LBI, you may be wondering not only what home features you’ll want to include for your enjoyment year-round or seasonally, but also what there is to do on LBI in the “off-season.” This is a fantastic question that, like many, our team at Stonehenge Builders can happily answer.
If you’re new to LBI or have been a local like we have for decades, you can find year-round community events on WelcomeToLBI.com. Social events and cook-offs are a great way to meet your neighbors and make long-lasting relationships that you can depend on year-round. They’re also a cool way to explore our shore communities and get a feel for what each town has to offer, especially if you’re looking to build a custom home on LBI and haven’t picked a location yet. While some of our towns have a brilliant night life, some offer a quiet refuge, and others offer family-fun entertainment just a stone’s throw away from your doorstep. Not to mention, the countless memories you’ll make and cherish for years to come all thanks to your custom home on LBI. So here’s to kicking off the “local summer” in style with the a night climb up Barnegat Lighthouse, Comedy Night at the Surflight Theatre, and Beach Haven’s Chowder Cook Off!
As far as features go, fireplaces and firepits help extend your season from early spring through the end of fall and create a cozy atmosphere to gather round and share some s’mores on a crisp fall night. Accordion doors leading out onto a gorgeous patio not only help with extending your hosting space and embracing an indoor-outdoor lifestyle, but they also help you capture the beautiful views of LBI right outside your window. A gourmet kitchen worthy of any chef is the heart of any home and deserves to be created with care so you can cook up memories for years to come. With so many things to do and see on LBI anytime of year, there is nothing like our picturesque beaches and the hub-bub of summer on LBI, but the fun doesn’t have to stop on Labor Day weekend! No matter what stage of the custom-home process you’re in, we would love to offer our expertise. With over three decades of experience, our team has built long-lasting relationships with each of our shore towns and can help guide you through every step of the process that is building a custom home on LBI.
