About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Seaside Family Retreat - 3 Min. Walk to Beach; badges included. Dog-friendly!

This stylish, well-maintained, and highly-rated beach house has four bedrooms, two living areas, two full bathrooms, two eating areas, an extended patio, a sunroom, two entrances, private parking for 3 cars and a fully fenced in back yard. The house regularly hosts large families with ease and joy and is dog-friendly. The house also has central air-conditioning and a large outdoor shower. Your stay includes towels, linens, beach badges, and beach chairs.

**Dogs are allowed - if more than one dog, please send me a note.

The home sits on one of the most desirable streets in Point Pleasant for its access and serenity. The home sits right at the southern end of the boardwalk, where you can be on the beach in 3 minutes without dealing with all the constant traffic/parking noise or endless late-night beach bungalow partying. The neighbors are a blend of long-established, family-owned beach homes and year-round residents.

Point Pleasant Beach is a vacation paradise with great restaurants and family attractions just a walk or short bike away. Inside, you're enjoying quality family-time with your 2 livings rooms (one of which is massive), sunroom, and centrally air-conditioned bedrooms.

THE LOCATION
Walk out the door, and within 3 minutes you're on the boardwalk and beach, which entertains at all hours with games, roller coasters, mini-golf, a funhouse, tiki bars, and even a premier aquarium! Take in the experience of all Jenkinson's Boardwalk has to offer.

Take a 15-minute stroll and you're downtown, with area-famous restaurants with some of the best (fresh!) seafood, burgers, steaks, and Italian food on the shore. Walk north to the inlet, for acclaimed lobster rolls, live music, and scenic views of the ocean and waterways.

THE HOUSE:
This house is the ultimate lounge space, with new, comfortable furniture, two dining areas, a closed-in sun patio, and an absolutely spectacular massive, carpeted family-room for post-beach games and cocktails, including a working, wood burning, fire place. Each living room includes a queen-sized sleeper sofa.

The full-sized kitchen includes full-sized appliances (including a large dishwasher), and an open-galley style setup for you cook up a storm, or blend a drink before going out to any of the amazing attractions a few steps away.

The full-sized bathroom includes a newly renovated shower/tub. The laundry room doubles as an extra half-bathroom. The outdoor shower is a must at least once during the stay (or every day!)

THE NEIGHBORHOOD:
For family-friendly beachside fun, it’s hard to beat Point Pleasant Beach. The expansive beach is kept crystal clean and the Boardwalk is great for kids (of any age) with dozens of rides along with games of chance, some of the most competitive miniature golf at the beach and Jenkinson’s Aquarium. Fireworks are on Thursday nights, and free movies are offered on the beach Friday nights (during summer).

All of the required indulgences are offered along the mile-long Boardwalk, including waffles and ice cream, sausage and peppers, popcorn and cotton candy. There are numerous other dining opportunities, from on-the-go to full-service.

Off the Boardwalk, there’s year-round entertainment and dining centered along Arnold Ave., with choices including Uncle Vinnie’s Comedy Club and Europa South restaurant for Portuguese cuisine.

And if it’s not beach weather, don’t despair: Point Pleasant Beach is also an antiquers’ delight. Both Bay and Arnold Avenues have a number of spots to hunt for hidden treasures and the Point Pavillion Antique Centre offers over 40 dealers conveniently located under one roof.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned vacation home, which features a fireplace and a Smart TV. There's a private patio. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. Complimentary wireless internet access is available to keep you connected.
Take in the views from a garden and make use of amenities such as barbecue grills.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

Perfect family getaway

We had a great stay here! The house was very clean and comfortable and in a great location (couple minute walk to the boardwalk with rides, aquarium, beach). It’s a perfect house for families, with the bedrooms separate from the large family room - very helpful for kids who were up early and adults who wanted to stay up late! Kris was extremely helpful and responsive. Would definitely stay here again!

Seaside Family Retreat was perfect for our family of six, all adults. Checking in at 4PM was simple since we were supplied with the door code. We enjoyed the big family room and outdoor space. The fenced in yard was perfect for my son’s dog. Cooking was easy in the kitchen as well as grilling on the back patio. Most of our meals were eaten at the large table outside.

Simply Perfect

The home is exactly as pictured and described. There was so much space for gathering, chilling and sleeping. Additionally we loved just how close it was to the beach. While our time of year was less about beach, if you come in the summer this is ideal for any size group. The neighborhood was quiet and respectful.

The house is a lovely property, 2 minute walk to the beach, and 5 minutes to the main attractions on the boardwalk. I loved being able to walk to the beach to drink my morning coffee! The house was perfect, with a huge family room, and a screened-in sun porch. There were 4 adults and 2 children and we were very comfortable. The house was well kept, had everything we needed, and Kris was a great host!

A nice family vacation spot

Nice beach house, just as described in the listing. Very close to the boardwalk and Jenkinsons beach. Unfortunately Jenkinsons beach was closed, but Maryland beach was open with plenty of free on street parking close to to the entrance. A bonus to us was that the house was well equipped for babies (pack n play, highchair, bath equipment etc). All in all, a nice family vacation spot.

Great family vacation

Our family had a fantastic vacation at this house. A short walk from the beach and boardwalk was ideal, especially for the kids. But it was far enough away from the boardwalk bars that we enjoyed peace and quiet in the evenings and the beach was not overly crowded during the day. Two spacious living rooms plus a sun room was more than enough space for the kids to play and for the adults to relax. Great communication with the owner before and during the trip. Highly recommend.

vacation at beach before wedding

The home was perfect! Its very spacious inside with lots of areas to lounge around. You can't beat the location! One block from the beach. We loved the decor of the house. The beds were comfortable. We really appreciated having beach essentials included (chairs, towels, umbrellas, badges and a cart). We also were happy that we did not need to bring towels and linens with us. We got married at the Breakers later in the week and it was a great spot to have as a base when we needed to do last minute things for the wedding.We would definitely stay at this place again!

Amazing Visit to Point Pleasant

Two weeks after our trip is complete our three year old daughter keeps saying "can we go back to the beach house?" We had a fantastic time staying at this house with quick access to the beach and the boardwalk. We spent the entire week on the beach, at the arcade, riding the rides and barely ever drove a mile in the rental car. Everything we need was right there. The owners were very easy to work with and the house was in great shape. Highly recommend if you are looking for a comfortable place to stay on a quiet street with lots of activities within walking distance!

Everything you need for a great time at the Jersey Shore!

This rental truly has everything. The best part for us was how spacious it was. There are 2 living rooms (one of which is huge) This is particularly great when you are vacationing with kids. We were able to watch tv or hang out and chat while the kids were in the other room 😊 The sun room is a great place to sit in the morning and have a cup of coffee. It is also very clean and so close to the boardwalk. The communication with Kris and the property manager Jeanne was easy and pleasant. We would definitely stay there again!

Best Beach Vacation Ever!

We absolutely loved our week at the beach. This property is such a gem and so close to the beach. We were there before I even finished going over the rules with the kids. We have three kids and our son just turned one. The space is perfect for families since there is a large room away from the bedrooms that the adults can hang out after the kids go to bed. There’s a lot to do within walking distance or a short drive of the home and it’s location can’t be beat. It’s far enough away from the loud parts of the boardwalk so you can relax and the kids can sleep but close enough that it’s easy to get to the food and fun. Amazing trip!

Perfect rental

The latest stay was our fourth or fifth trip to this property. You really can't beat it. The house is spacious, very clean, stocked with everything you need (and it all works), and is very close to the beach and boardwalk. The landlord is excellent and very attentive to the renter's needs, though I have to say I've never had anything actually come up during a stay that needed his attention because the house is kept in excellent condition. If I could give more than 5 stars I would.
