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.
Wonderful hosts, Cody and Alexandra, have turned a classic NJ bungalow into a sweet little cottage with a wonderful open layout, lovely shades of blue against a crisp white make it open, bright and relaxing.Absolutely impeccably clean as well.
Very clean, cute bungalow with everything you need to enjoy your stay at the beach. Great location between beach and a playground. Very safe. Cody was incredibly responsive and thoughtful - we felt very well hosted!
Family of 6 (small children) and we had a great stay- was just what we needed as a home-base. Neighborhood and location were fantastic and we enjoyed early morning walks to the boardwalk every day with the kids!

Jillian, we are so happy that you enjoyed your stay here at A Shore Thing in Belmar, New Jersey! Please keep us in mind the next time you are in the area with the family. Looking forward to hosting you again!
Fantastic property. Very clean, good beds. Really great that they have linens and towels, etc. so we didn’t have to pack a bunch of extra stuff. Having beach badges was HUGE and a wonderful cherry on top. Definitely recommend if you are visiting the Jersey Shore.
Walking distance to town and beach. The house was perfect for our family. It has everything needed for a comfortable stay and Cody was easy to communicate with.

Perfect little spot for friends and family. Easy walk to the boardwalk/beach and a nice back yard area to just hang out. Multiple restaurants in walking distance as well. Would definitely stay here again and highly recommend for anyone else looking. Cody was a great host.

Thanks for the lovely stay.

Liz, thank you so much for all of the wonderful feedback. We really appreciate it and hope to see you back again soon!
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!

Amy, thank you so much for the kind words regarding your stay at a Shore Thing in Belmar. We really appreciated having you stay and can't wait to welcome you back in the future!
This modern Belmar beach cottage was perfect for a quick end of summer trip with my mom and my baby. It was conveniently located a few blocks from the beach and passes were included, always a perk! Cody was very easy to communicate with and quick to respond.

Julie, terrific to hear that you and your family had a wonderful time with us here in Belmar. Thanks for staying!
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.

Hi Dawn, thanks so much for your feedback. I have gone ahead and ordered those items to add to the kitchen. A genuine thank you for letting me know and I am glad that you and your family got to enjoy the beach at least once during your 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, thank you so much for the positive feedback. You are welcome back to Belmar anytime!
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! The property owner was very accommodating and provided clear check in and check out instructions. Street parking was never an issue and there was plenty available. Highly recommend this property. Thank you!
