Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2007
Hello, my name is Christine, and I have been enjoying the Jersey Shore since I was 3 years old. I have great memories of time spent in Long Beach Island, Sea Isle City, and Ocean City. In 2008, I moved to Belmar. I love living here, and I'm sure you will love vacationing here!
Why the Owner Chose Belmar
Belmar, by far, is one of the best Jersey Shore towns. We are easily accessible from many points in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and New York, as well as from the Newark International Airport.
There are so many fun things to do around the Belmar area. Asbury Park, which is experiencing a wonderful revival, is 10 minutes away and has a great new boardwalk and a selection of fantastic restaurants. New York City is a two-hour train ride away. In addition to Belmar, many of the surrounding beach communities have family-oriented events in the spring, summer, fall, and even the winter. There is some great shopping to be done, too -- at Freehold Raceway Mall, Jersey Shore Premium Outlets, and Monmouth Mall, to name a few. And the area has so many great restaurants from which to choose. I'd be happy to recommend some of my favorites!
The Unique Benefits of this Cottage
You will find our home to be an ideal beach getaway for a weekend, a week or two, or a month. Guests frequently compliment us the lovely vintage-style decor, how clean the house is kept, the comfortable accommodations, and how quiet the neighborhood is. You have access to a spacious deck with outdoor seating for 8, overlooking the back yard and flower gardens that attract all kinds of butterflies and birds.

We stayed here, from Southern California, to visit our son. We enjoyed biking, walking, and hanging out at the beach, and spent a day in Manhattan. The Blue Hydrangea has been perfect. Love the "sand and sea" colors and touches. It has been so comfortable and so East Coast for us. Thank you!

Our family has rented at the Jersey Shore for several summers now, and this was our first stay in Belmar. The Blue Hydrangea Beach Cottage exceeded our expectations. It was, by far, the cleanest house we've ever rented. It was well-furnished and comfortable, and decorated so cute, just love the colors. The owner was so welcoming and nice, too. We appreciated the restaurant menus and tourism/activity guides that you provided. We definitely would rent from you again!

My wife and I stayed at the Blue Hydrangea Cottage for a week and absolutely loved it. It was perfect for what we were looking for. Very nice kitchen, as we cooked most of our meals there, 2 bedrooms and a very cozy living room. Very quiet, peaceful and w/in walking distance to Belmar boardwalk and beach. A few blocks from Main Street Belmar which we enjoyed local restaurants and shops. Perfect getaway place any time of year. Would love to stay there again.

BEACH PARADISE THAT IS HARD TO LEAVE
Guest: Mercedes and John
(Bayonne, NJ)
Date of Stay: 05/26/11
Review Submitted: 05/31/11
We were warmly welcomed and wonderfully accommodated by the owner. This is a beautifully decorated, exceptionally clean, comfortable and quiet 2nd floor apartment on a lovely residential street--just as described and pictured. The location is perfect for a short or long stay since all you need is within walking distance. One of my many favorite meomories is sitting on the deck with a glass of wine in the late afternoon and seeing the tree tops rustling in the ocean's breeze--very relaxing. The worst time was leaving--I wanted to stay and never leave.
Owner response:It was so nice to meet you both, and thank you for the five-star review. So glad that you enjoyed your stay, and we hope to see you again in the future!

We definitely would recommend this lovely vacation home to other families. It was immaculately clean, nicely decorated, and comfortably accommodated our family of 4 for the week. We were within walking distance of both the beach and the Main Street of town, which was a nice convenience, as was the bicycle rental shop at the end of the street. The owner was helpful in suggesting places to eat and things to do with the kids. All in all, we had a wonderful time, and we can't wait to come back next summer!
