About this property
Beachfront ! Two steps to the sand !
This is a 2 room apt. at the rear of our beachfront home in the small town of OCEAN GATE. Good for 2 mature adults. Full kitchen, queen size bed. Smart T.V. Includes inside and outside hot water shower and shaded beachfront patio area with tables and nat. gas grill. Two kayaks that can be launched right from the beach. As little as 40 feet to the water from the patio area. One on property parking spot next to your private entrance. Beach badges included.
Patio area not shared with other renters. Just occasionally the grill with the owners.
Many towns like ours have minimum stays to cut down on short stays where large weekend parties happen. Our town has a 7 night minimum stay.
With that minimum limit we want reservations in multiples of 7 days from Saturday to Saturday. We don't want to be left with a period between bookings of less than 7 days because we will not be able to rent that shorten period because of the 7 day minimum.
All initial booking payments must be through VRBO. They require a credit card for both your protection and ours. Do not offer to send a company check.
We receive a fair number of spam requests. They seem to be computer generated with random dates and ignore our Saturday checkin. They also don’t say anything about themselves or ask questions.
So, say something. Tell us a little bit about yourself. Just a little is fine. We want to be sure we are dealing with real people.
Thanks.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Gus Brandstetter
We, Gus and Margaret, are retired. We will be here to great you and when you leave. We will be here some of the time but usually go home a little to our regular home to take of things there. So you will have lots of privacy. Even when we are here we lay low with few visitors.
Why they chose this property
We purchased this property in 1983 mostly as an investment. We rented the property as a summer/winter rental. We did this for over 30 years so we know what's important to our guests. Most of the time we rented the old fashion way. Lawn signs and newspaper adds. Later on line.
The long term goal was always to stop renting and use the place ourselves. Hurricane Sandy was just the push we needed to get there. After some serious repairs we stopped renting the main part of the home up front and now just rent the 2 room apartment in the rear.

What makes this property unique
We are right on the beach and boardwalk. The sand is 2-3 steps from the patio area. The water? Another maybe 20 steps. The beach is never crowded. Even on weekends with nice weather so social distancing is not a problem. There are many homes on the boardwalk but few have a side yard with a patio area also on the boardwalk overlooking the beach and water.
The town has a few stores only 2-3 blocks away from your rental. There is a deli/market with hot and cold sandwiches and basic items any small market would have. There is a very good pizza/Italian food place. The Anchor Inn is a classic bar/restaurant. There is a home made donuts and ice cream store.
And don't forget the two kayaks! The water is always nice and calm.
