Immaculate Home & Incredible Host – Perfect Beach GetawayWe just returned from a fantastic week in Bay Head, and this home truly exceeded every expectation. It’s immaculate, beautifully designed, and spacious, offering both privacy and wonderful gathering areas for family movie or game nights. The house is stocked with everything you could possibly need: bikes, beach chairs, umbrellas, and a terrific selection of games for all ages. Every detail is clearly labeled and easy to use, making the stay completely stress-free.Arthur is an outstanding host. He's welcoming, attentive, and quick to share great local recommendations. All you need to bring is your family and your clothes; everything else is taken care of. This was one of the best vacation rentals we’ve ever experienced, and we can’t wait to return!

About the host
Hosted by Arthur Kim
We are originally from Manhattan; then we tipped toed into NJ and further south after having our son. We have enjoyed almost everything that Bay Head and nearby towns have to offer - glorious beaches, early morning, sunset, and evening walks/bikes along East Ave and Lake Ave, and delicious nearby restaurants (Charlie's, Mueller's, Theresa's, Red's, Dune, Burke's, Blue Sushi, The Cheese Shop, Noon, Shore Fresh...) and to-die-for handmade ice cream (Hoffman's), cooking a storm for friends and family, spotting dolphins along the shore, watching great horned owls from our deck, paddle-boarding on Twilight Lake (and even on the beach!), surfing, hitting the boardwalks, clam bakes, crabbing, so-memorable family/friend boating excursions and backyard bbq's, get-togethers, celebrations, beach parties, and most importantly, being a kid again!
Now that our son has graduated from college and is working full-time in NYC, we miss having him over as frequently and hosting him and his friends.
We have enjoyed being part of the Bay Head community for years, and hopefully, during your stay, you will also discover your reasons to make Bay Head NJ your annual summer vacation spot.
Why they chose this property
Bay Head is a well-established town with a community that cares about nurturing and leaving lasting family beach memories. While Bay Head is not a "dry town" or a big party town, it's a beach town that knows how to have fun; it's elegant, down-to-earth, safe, active, and nature-oriented. Our street, Osborne Ave, is not busy, and we enjoy biking and walking to town, Twighlight Lake, and the beach. It's the last stop on the NJ transit line from NY Penn Station (less than a 5-minute walk from the Bay Head train station), so it's easy to head here from work on Fridays.
What makes this property unique
Location, privacy, updated and new appointments, attractive pricing, large open space to spread out, and many included amenities.
