Does this comply with Airbnb’s terms of service?

Yes. Airbnb’s policy explicitly permits “optional apps that facilitate a guest’s experience during the stay” — it names Sonos, Nest, and concierge apps as examples. CohostAI is exactly that: an optional guest-experience app guests open via a link or QR to get instant answers. It doesn’t require payment or property access, and it doesn’t auto-send in your Airbnb inbox — reply drafts wait for your review, so you stay in control of the conversations that matter.

What if my property is in a rural or small town?

We scan up to 10 surrounding zip codes to surface the best restaurants, trails, and gems within driving distance. Most rural hosts get 40+ quality recommendations.

Can I edit or customize what the AI picks?

Yes. Add your own favorites, write host tips, remove places you don’t love, and mark your top picks with a Host Pick badge. Your cohost only answers from what you’ve saved and confirmed.

Will my guests actually use it?

Every guide includes built-in analytics — you’ll see opens, clicks, and which places guests tap on. Most hosts see strong engagement in the first 24 hours after sharing.

Is there a free plan?

You can build, edit, and test CohostAI for free with no credit card. Publishing a guest link or using the live AI cohost requires one paid license per property at $9/month or $79/year; drafts stay saved either way.

What happens if I cancel?

Your cohost and guest guide stay live through the end of the period you’ve paid for. After that the guest link pauses — nothing is deleted, and everything comes back if you resubscribe.

Restaurants & cafés

Dock & Claw Clam Bar
A seafood counter in Beach Haven serving the serious short menu that LBI does best — oysters, lobster rolls, clams, and creative seasonal add-ons like birria tacos that prove the kitchen has range beyond the raw bar. The outdoor setup matches the island's casual energy.

Black-Eyed Susan's Cafe
A white-tablecloth Beach Haven restaurant that takes the island's seafood seriously — lobster gnocchi, fresh-caught plates, and a menu that changes with the season. Reservations are essential and the room fills with people who planned specifically to come here.

Trails & outdoors

Barnegat Lighthouse Trail
A 1.7-mile flat walk through Barnegat Light's dunes and maritime forest, ending at the lighthouse base — one of the most environmentally distinctive short hikes at the Jersey Shore, with the coastal forest section feeling entirely unlike the rest of the island.

LBI Beach Badge Walk — Beach Haven to Harvey Cedars
Walking the hard-packed surf-line between beach access points covers seven or eight miles of uninterrupted beach — an LBI tradition that connects several towns and gives you the best read on how the island's geography actually feels at walking pace.

Things to do

Surflight Theatre
A professional summer theater company in Beach Haven that has been running full-production musicals and plays for decades — the quality of performance consistently surprises first-timers expecting a regional community theater. It anchors Beach Haven's evening cultural life.

Fantasy Island Amusement Park
A family-run Beach Haven amusement park with rides, mini golf, arcades, and a carnival midway that has operated for decades as LBI's most accessible family entertainment venue. Modest and approachable compared to the large Shore amusement operations.

Landmarks & sights

Barnegat Lighthouse State Park
Old Barney — the red-and-white lighthouse at the island's north tip — stands 172 feet tall and offers the best elevated view on LBI's 18-mile length after 217 steps. The park includes a maritime forest trail through one of the last coastal forest patches on the island.

LBI Historical Museum
A focused local history museum in Beach Haven covering the island's maritime past — the Tuckerton and Long Beach Railroad, the gunning and yacht clubs, and the shipwrecks that shaped this stretch of coast. Compact and well-organized, worth a 45-minute stop.
