I have been coming to Beach Haven West since I was 3 months old. My grandfather bought there back in 1967, picking the lot and model house. I loved that small beach bungalow and had so many good times there, so much that I not too long ago bought with a good friend of mine, a summer house like the one my grandfather had.

The house was a fixer-upper, and we had planned on doing the renovations to it, but Sandy came and put about a foot of water through it.
