A week or weekend stay here would be delightful. The house boasts two expansive living rooms ideal for socializing or relaxing. The one bedroom's twin beds are a thoughtful touch, differing from the standard bunk bed setup. Parking is plentiful. Within walking distance are several fantastic dining options, including a superb bagel shop. The boardwalk and aquarium are just a short drive away

Perfect Stay in Bed Head

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!

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!

The best rental experience

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!

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.

Memorable pre-season beach getaway

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!
