This newer home features central air & heat (a must at the shore!), an in-unit washer & dryer, quartz countertops, Verizon FIOS top package Internet and Wi-Fi, a 47’ Samsung smart TV, and keyless entry with your own unique access code to ensure safety and privacy.

All members of your group must be 30 years or older to book or be accompanied by an Adult. No exceptions!

Bring the family to stay at the cozy, welcoming, and well-equipped Shore Thing, which lets you enjoy the best of the Jersey Shore from the comfort of a quiet home-away-from-home.

The entire home including the backyard/patio/grill. On-street parking is available on a first-come, first-serve basis. No access to the driveway as it belongs to a separate unit.

Great VRBO cottage and in the perfect location. Just a few blocks to the beach and boardwalk. Very convenient location to shops, restaurants, bars, etc. While there wasn’t off-street parking, it was never a problem to park in front of the cottage. Plenty of street parking available! We really enjoyed everything about this VRBO and the host was great.

Definitely recommend this home for small groups! It's a small beach house, but it's super cozy & close to all that Belmar has to offer! Super clean property, super responsive property owners, quiet & safe neighborhood. We stayed at the end of March & even with the influx of people for the rescheduled St. Paddy's Day parade, the neighborhood was relatively quiet. There is a park on the beach, but there is also one down the block the other direction if you want to stay away from the sand & beach one day.

We really enjoyed our stay! The description and photos match the space. Only a short walk to either the beach or to main street. The house was clean, the beds are comfortable and check-in was easy. We stayed during off season, so parking was easy even though it was street parking. While the house was warm, the floors get really cold, so bring your slippers!

Cute as a button

For a small space, it feels open, not cramped. The decor is lovely with a contemporary beach theme. Backyard is great for an outdoor bbq. If you want to prepare dinners at home, the kitchen needs a few items (e.g., salad bowl, baking dish) and there’s no dishwasher. Quiet neighborhood but limited street parking in peak season.

Such a pleasant stay.

Just getting away for some golf and relaxation we ran across this house after looking at a few others. It was a very modernized beach house that was clean and open. I suspected it would be everything that I read about and more as Cody (the host) was already reaching out to offer assistance the day before. He was a great honest host and we couldn’t be more pleased with the all around experience. We will be back in a few weeks and this will be the first house I try to book. Chris

Great location and highly recommend!

This location was outstanding. A short walk to good restaurants and coffee. There was a playground up the street that our little one enjoyed! The property was in a quiet and safe neighborhood. It was well maintained and very clean. It was decorated nicely and had all the amenities needed to make a meal. The beds were very comfortable and the washer and dryer was a plus!
