Great property; has everything you could ever need making it a super seamless experience. Deirdre is the nicest and most responsive host. Excited to go back next year!
Deirde has the perfect place to call home for a couple of days! The home is some homely, well stocked, and walking distance to the beach as well as Playa Bowls, Grocery, and a fantastic fish market / grocery store. If you're looking for a great place at the shore, this is it!

Hope you meant “homey” and not “homely”! LOL. Thanks for staying David. You were a great guest! Enjoy the rest of the summer!
This house is so lovely, and you will want for nothing while staying here - everything you could possibly need has been provided. The beach at Bay Head was just as relaxing - no crowds, and easy enough parking if you don’t feel like walking. We hope to return soon!
Deidre was a wonderful host! Very responsive and helpful with checking in. The property is beautiful and walking distance from the beach. Very clean and everything you could possibly need is in the home (towels, bikes, etc). Nice seating area outside as well. 10/10 stay, highly recommend
We had a fantastic stay. The house was spotless, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a relaxing birthday weekend with friends. The location is perfect just a short walk to the beach, shops, and restaurants. The host was incredibly kind, responsive, and made us feel right at home. We were able to text her whenever and felt like friends. We’d definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful stay down the shore!

Awww thanks Sofia! You guys are welcome any time. Felt the same way.
Very cute and central! Outdoor area was well kept, lots of things for you to use at beach and outside. For small babies with strollers, stairs for the house so garage was easy to keep strollers in!
The house was very cute and clean! It had tons of bikes and beach stuff and an easy stroll to amazing beaches! Would definitely recommend this house and bay head
We had a wonderful stay. The place was clean, beds comfortable, well stocked with beach gear and kitchen equipment and the outside was well maintained. The host went above and beyond to be responsive and accommodating. Thank you, Deidre!

Thanks Linda...and you're welcome! Glad you guys enjoyed yourselves.
The house was beautiful, clean, and had everything we could possibly need! Deidre was an amazing host and was able to answer any questions we had during our stay as well as provide excellent recommendations for exploring the town. We would definitely stay again. Thank you so much Deidre!
Very comfortable house in the great town of Bay Head. Everything works well (AC, appliances, grill, showers) and host does a great job with amenities, particularly beach needs and toiletries. 4 of us were there and had an extra room.
Our stay at this charming 3-bedroom cottage by the sea was delightful and memorable, thanks to the amazing host who provided fantastic recommendations for local restaurants and attractions. The property was immaculately maintained, and the spacious retreat comfortably housed our group of six adults and an infant, with a layout that blends coastal charm and modern comfort. The outdoor area is beautiful, featuring a grassy yard for kids and a refreshing outdoor shower. The well-stocked kitchen and thoughtful amenities like bicycles, beach chairs, and suntan lotion made our beach days perfect. Ideally located within walking distance to the beach, shops, and restaurants, this cottage offers a perfect blend of comfort, convenience, and character. Highly recommended for a relaxing seaside escape!
