Jersey Shore Family Reunion

The property was as advertised and perfect for our vacation with 6 teenagers. The location was great being two blocks from the beach and one block from beautiful evening sunsets (that you can also see from the deck). It’s also a quick five minute walk to a great cafe (biggest donuts I’ve ever seen) next to an ice cream shop (yum) next to a skate shop (a must visit if you’re an Eagles fan). Townsends Inlet is very quiet in the morning making it great for a morning walk before starting the day. In the evening, walk up a block and catch the Jetty to downtown for some nightlife. You get the best of both worlds here. Ellen the host was very sweet to meet us at check in and walk us through all the amenities. She also supplied us in advance with a list of local events happening during our stay which was very helpful. Top notch service!

Great location in a calm but fun beach town

We loved our stay at Ellen and Jim’s home. We were able to gather at the end of a long day around the table, or hang out in the upstairs family room and watch TV. The beds were comfortable and the location was great. We would stay here again!

Great week in Sea Isle City

Our family of five, plus a few friends, enjoyed our week in this clean, spacious condo. Great location, excellent climate control and wonderful hosts made this a week to remember. We spent a lot of time at the beautiful beach, and also made trips to Ocean City for the rides, Cape May for the zoo, and Avalon got shopping/ dinner!

Great Long Weekend!

We just returned from a long weekend and I can't recommend it enough! The house is spacious, beautifully decorated, and has everything you need for a relaxing stay. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed to cook meals, and the bedrooms were cozy with comfortable beds. We especially appreciated the beach chairs, cart, and games. The location is unbeatable – close enough to town for convenience but still tucked away for a peaceful, private retreat. The hosts were wonderful, responsive, and made sure we had everything we needed for a perfect vacation. We can't wait to come back again!

Absolutely Wonderful Stay !!

Ellen was the perfect host ! She happily greeted us we a warm friendly welcome. We were celebrating a family reunion and found her home the perfect location, well equipped and plenty of room. Also loved the outdoor deck area where you can view the bay and beautiful sunsets. The off street parking was also a real plus. Ellen also provided lots of beach necessities and was there for anything you needed. Five stars for location, condition and great communication. Will be returning !!

Friends weekend get away

Jim and Ellen were friendly and gracious hosts! Ellen’s communications with me were both professional and thorough. The property was in a lovely and quieter area within walking distance to both bay and beach. The house, although in need of a few updates, was well appointed and a perfect set up for a girls weekend getaway. The living room and kitchen area were both spacious enough for our group. The beds were comfortable. And adequate extra beach equipment was a bonus. We would there stay again.

What an amazing month!

We had a wonderful time at this Sea Isle home. Ellen was so thorough and gave us everything to make our month perfect. The house was spacious enough for our family of 7 and we didn't ever feel like we were on top of one another. It's two and a half blocks from the beach and a short walk to Nickelby's and Scoops for yummy ice cream. We found the kitchen to have all the necessities and space needed for a family breakfast. Having 6 beach tags included in the cost. This home was a wonderful value for the cost.

Great Location and Friendly Accommodating Owners

Our family visited early in June. We found the location to be very good. It was right near the bay where we could sit on the benches and watch the beautiful sunsets. Ellen and Jim were extremely friendly, kind and eager to help in any way they could. The updates done so far on the home, especially in the main living area and kitchen are nice and give the home a fresh open feel. The beach is a short walk and the wonder wheeler provided was great for packing everything. The kids loved escaping to the turret to draw and play. There is a really cute waterfront restaurant called the Sunset Pier close to the house and Marita's Ice Cream was one of our frequent stops at night. We had a great week at the Beach Castle.

COMFY CASTLE!

We had a fantastic week at the Castle Beach House! it is so nice to be greeted at arrival by Ellen our hostess with so much enthusiasm for her guests to see the house and learn so much about Sea Isle City! They have put together a wonderful binder of just about everything you need to know about the house, history, and activities proved in the area. Also a section with restaurants with the ratings of previous guests! this beach area is definitely not a city. it is a vibrant community with dedication to providing a lot of outdoor activities for families with no charge. Since we had several cooler days with red flags at the beach we spent time playing pickle ball, enjoying a very large play ground, riding bikes and fishing/crabbing from a beautiful pier. This southern end of the island is very narrow and quiet which provides a feeling of having your own beach and inlet at close range. Now for the biggest hit for the kids! THE TURRET ROOM! Immediately upon arrival all the kids of all ages had to run up and inspect that room! it became the highlight of a lot of imaginative play and a game room. Bottom line...when you are picking a vacation spot with kids in mind it is so nice to find a place that everyone can feel comfortable and not worry about a lot of fancy furniture or breaking valuables. And a real perk was having Ellen and Jim as hosts who enjoyed answering questions and care about their guests of all ages.
