Excellent home and fantastic host! Great weekend getaway for the family - house is brand new with all of the amenities you would need and great location close to the beach / boardwalk. Highly recommend!
Owners were very responsive and checked in on us during our stay. The home is very well equipped with anything we could have needed. The views…amazing! 10/10
I stayed here with a group of 10 family/friends and it was the PERFECT Jersey shore getaway! Marc was an incredibly attentive host and made the stay super easy and relaxing. The location is awesome— being right on the water and so close to the beach/boardwalk. Highly recommend for a big group looking to stay in seaside heights!

Thank you, Christina for the thoughtful review! We love to make our guests comfortable and feel like they are at home. Come back anytime !!!
My group of 12 (5 adults, 7 kids) just got back from the best vacation here! The house itself was perfection - it was stocked with everything you could need and was spacious enough for a big group to have their own space but all spend time together in the common areas. The yard and balconies were amazing. Hours of fun outside without leaving the house! And when we did leave the house, the boardwalk and beach were a 5-10 min drive. I could not recommend this house more!
This house is in a great location and is beautifully appointed with all the amenities you can ask for. Our kids loved swimming and waters sports out in the bay and the host does a great job providing kayaks, paddle boards, and life vests. Short 5 min drive to the Seaside Heights boardwalk and neighboring beaches of Ortley and Seaside park made for an excellent, convenient location. Thank you Marc, can’t wait to book my next stay!

Our group had an amazing time at this property!! Everything was accurately described in the listing and the owner, Marc, was very communicative and accessible for any questions. The house is so beautiful!! We loved being right on the water where it was shallow and calm. We took advantage of the paddle boards, kayaks and tubes that they have at the house. There's plenty of space to relax but also plenty to do with the game room, plus skee ball and ping pong. They thought of everything you might need or want in renting a space. We would love to stay here again and would recommend to everyone!

What an incredibly kind review!!! Thank you for highlighting such great details.

Our large group stayed for the new years long weekend. Marc was super responsive as a host and the house was clean and well supplied. It was a great location, close to the town, beach and the state park. We were lucky enough that the weather was warm enough for us to enjoy the outdoor decks facing the bay. The kitchen is nice and well stocked. The coffee and tea station was especially popular. I'm stealing that idea! All the bedrooms had great views and were comfortable. We had a great time, it was a lovely stay.

Thanks for the great review, Jeannette!! Come back anytime …and of course..GO BLUE!!!!
Just spent a lovely 4 day weekend with family at this beautiful Seaside Heights house. I've stayed at a lot of rentals and this one was way above average, in terms of amenities, condition of the house, and communication with our great host Marc. We took advantage of the kayaks, paddleboards, and ping pong, and the multiple terraces have a great view of the bay. The kitchen was outfitted with everything we could need. The beach is not walking distance but everything we needed was within 5-10 minutes' drive - beach, grocery store, mini golf, restaurants. Had a great stay!

Marc was a wonderful host. He was easy to work with and had top notch communication. The home was very clean and right on the bay. It had so many fun things to do. Ping pong, corn-hole, kayaks, ski ball. The house was up to date, huge and beautiful. It was less than a mile from the beach. Great location. Awesome time. Highly recommend!

Michael, thank you for the amazing review! We are so glad your wife’s birthday celebration was a huge success!! Come back anytime!!
Our whole family had such a great time. The location and house were perfect and we were all able to relax and reconnect. We had the whole range from the elderly to a nine-year-old child and they all had a great time and were not bored for one second.
We were able to get to the beach and all of the boardwalk activities within just a few minutes… However, we were far enough away to be able to relax without all of the hustle and bustle of the Boardwalk be at our doorstep.
We will definitely consider this house again on our next visit to Seaside Heights. It was definitely a vacation to remember.
We stayed here in July 2024 and everything about the house and owner was great! The house is in an excellent waterfront location with beatiful views from throughout the house and the multiple balconies. Plenty of space to spread out or gather in the kitchen/great room on the main floor. The house was well strocked with supplies and includes lots of amenities. The property was spotless and impeccably maintained. Check-in/check-out and communication with the owner was very easy. I would highly recommend this house if you're looking for a vacation rental for 6-12 people in the Seaside area.

Thank you Eric for the great review - you always have a place to stay when visiting from California !!!!
This house was beautiful! 180 degree bay views from every rear deck, you can never get tired of the views. The owners did a great job decorating, furnishing, and explaining all the house has to offer. 2 minute car ride to beach and boardwalk, the location is great for families that want to be at the shore, without all the chaos of being down the shore. The house is very clean and fit all 13 of us easily. They have plenty of things to do at the home, kayaks, paddleboards, tanning rafts, ping pong, skeeball, firepit, BBQ, cornhole, and more. We had an awesome time! I highly recommend this property, the owners are great, and want to make sure you enjoy your stay.

This was our very first family vacation with all our adult kids, including 9 adults and 2 children, ages 6 and 1. The whole family was blown away by this house and property, as close as you could get to perfect in every way. There was plenty of space for all of us to have privacy, our own rooms and bathrooms, a well-appointed kitchen, and endless things to do for entertainment. There are no surprises here, the description of the home is totally accurate, maybe even understated! The owner is a great communicator, and nothing is left to chance. We loved being on the water, fantastic views, convenient location with everything close - grocery store, drugstore, boardwalk, beach, restaurants... all within a mile or so. Enjoyed the kayaks, paddleboards, putting green, fire pit, outdoor dining area, gas grill, skeeball, ping pong and pacman game on the third floor. Plus there's a tiki boat place across the street, and Captain Bob took us on a fun 2-hour cruise around the bay - highly recommend! There were also plenty of spaces for just relaxing. We made some great memories here, and are very glad we found this place!
This is an amazing house! Starting on the ground floor, you can fit three cars in the garage and still have room to play ping pong and skee ball! Definitely take the kayaks and paddleboards out to see some wildlife on Harbor Island. Walk out the back slider to a beautiful back yard with plenty of seating and a propane firepit. You have a great view of the bay and can watch the ferris wheel light show at night! The rest of the house has the best room layout (3 floors) with all new furniture. Waking up and watching the sun rise on the balcony of the King Suite is breath taking! You can even see the sunset from the front porch! The owners are really nice and eager to accommodate. We will definitely be back next year!

My big blended family of 13 can’t say enough about our vacation at this beautiful home! The home is brand new with all of the amenities to make for a comfortable and elevated stay. We loved being right on the bay, which is shallow enough to be safe for our grandchildren, but also provided recreation- stand up paddles and kayaks for the big kids to enjoy. We also loved all of the spaces the house has- a basement with games for the young adults to “escape to” and decks overlooking the bay for relaxing and listening to the birds. The house is so well stocked, too- the kitchen has plenty of plates, glasses and utensils for a large group and the refrigerators (there are two) and very deep and large to hold plenty of food and drink. The attention to detail is obvious and so many things are provided- soaps, shampoo, conditioner, TP, paper towels, detergents etc. It is a fabulous place for a large group to enjoy and oh yes, within minutes of the beautiful ocean and fun boardwalk!

About the host
Hosted by Marc Levinsky
We are Marc and Melinda and we both grew up in Monmouth County, went to college at the University of Michigan, grad school at Rutgers, currently live in Middlesex County, and love the Jersey Shore. We have two children who love the shore, paddleboarding, and kayaking. Melinda loves interior decorating and giving Marc honey do's to make their houses beautiful!
Why they chose this property
We love the Barnegat Peninsula because it is centrally located in NJ, right between NYC and Philly. We love every town on the peninsula from Point Pleasant, to Bay Head, Mantoloking, Lavallette, Ortley Beach, and Seaside Heights and Park. We also love being so close to Island Beach State Park for biking and hiking.
What makes this property unique
Our house is directly on the bay and includes all the paddle boards and kayaks you could want INCLUDED with the rental. Most shore houses (including our Ortley Beach ocean block house unfortunately) do not have water access and recreational water activities included. Our house also has the MOST AMAZING VIEWS and has 3 decks and 3 balconies to see the sunset/ sunrise and weekly Seaside Heights fireworks.
