We are a group of four families, kids ages 5-13. We had plenty of room in this well-outfitted home. Plenty of driveway parking, large patio and backyard, plenty of room to gather in the dining room and living room. Just a short walk to Ideal Beach and quick drive to the waterpark for an afternoon activity. We picked up tasty "football" pizzas from Luigi's in Hazlet one night and lobsters at Belford Seafood Cooperative another.

Wonderful house

Beautiful home. Just a great stay. Only notes. The one bed has a missing screw and collspsed in the middle of the night. Broken dishwasher, but not a big deal. We just used paper plates. Had a super great time here visiting our family. Want to do it again next year.

Came from AZ to attend a memorial

This home was perfect for my family. There were 9 of us and plenty of room for all. We spent time on the beautifully tiled back patio with additional family visitors and it was easy to host them. All Linens were clean and fresh and the home over all very clean. Location was great and we took multiple strolls to the beach which was nearby. The host was very responsive and greeted us to explain everything. WiFi worked great and a large screen, smart TV was installed before we arrived. This place was wonderful for a large group and I would not hesitate to stay here again.

Unfortunately not what is advertised

When arriving, property is under construction and should not be listed just yet. This caused high safety concern for my littles. Also, very dusty and dirty inside, no WiFi, no televisions, blood on wall, host has neighbors watching every move. Completely uncomfortable entire stay. Would not recommend staying at property until some significant changes have been made!

You have to improve

Everything seemed bad from the start, the owner asked for IDs from everyone in my group (14), how were we going to send our IDs? The rules are a bit ridiculous, at the end of the stay we had to remove all the sheets from the beds and leave them on the floor, in my opinion this is a job that should be done by the cleaning lady and that's why I paid a lot of money for...I know very well Even though the owner doesn't clean the place, the person who does doesn't do their job well either. All the pillows smelled really bad and one bed had blood on the sheets. The sheets were definitely very dirty. I would never consider this house as an option again. I'm sad. The appliances didn't work. The house looks really big but the bedrooms are really small. Sorry, I thought a lot I have no qualms about leaving a bad review but I find it unfair for the price that they don't even wash the sheets.

About the host

Hosted by Gertraud Gill

Host profile image
I’m a local host who enjoys welcoming guests to the Jersey Shore and helping them experience everything this area has to offer. I’ve always loved coastal towns and the relaxed atmosphere that comes with being near the water. Hosting allows me to share that experience with visitors from all over.
I enjoy creating a comfortable and welcoming space where guests can relax, spend time with family and friends, and make great memories during their stay.

Whether guests are visiting for a beach vacation, a weekend getaway, or exploring the area from New York City, I want them to feel at home.

I also enjoy meeting people from different places and learning about their travels and experiences. Hosting has given me the opportunity to connect with guests from across the country and even from around the world. It’s always rewarding to know that people chose this home as the place where they celebrate birthdays, family vacations, reunions, or special trips with friends.

I take pride in keeping the property clean, comfortable, and well maintained so that guests can relax and focus on enjoying their stay. My goal as a host is to make sure guests feel welcome, have everything they need, and leave with great memories of their time at the Jersey Shore.

If you ever need recommendations for restaurants, beaches, local attractions, or day trips in the area, I’m always happy to help point guests in the right direction.

Why they chose this property

This neighborhood offers a great balance between being close to the beach and having convenient access to nearby attractions and transportation. One of the best things about the area is that Ideal Beach is just one block away, making it easy to walk to the waterfront anytime during the day.

The Keansburg Boardwalk, amusement park, and Runaway Rapids Waterpark are also just minutes away, which makes the area fun for families and groups visiting the Jersey Shore. The boardwalk has a classic seaside feel with rides, arcades, and food stands that bring back the traditional Jersey Shore experience.

Another reason I enjoy this location is the peaceful residential feel of the neighborhood while still being close to everything guests might want to do during their stay. It’s a place where you can relax, take a walk by the water, and enjoy beautiful sunset views over the bay.

The location is also convenient for exploring other nearby coastal towns in Monmouth County, many of which offer great restaurants, waterfront parks, and scenic drives along the shore.

One of the most unique aspects of this area is that guests can enjoy the relaxed atmosphere of the Jersey Shore while still having convenient access to New York City transportation, including ferry, train, and bus options nearby.

What makes this property unique

One of the things that makes this home stand out is the amount of space it offers for groups and families, which can be hard to find near the beach. Many homes near the water are smaller or designed for fewer guests, but this property provides plenty of room for groups to stay comfortably.

The home was designed to give guests both shared spaces to gather and private spaces to relax. With two large living rooms, guests can spread out, enjoy conversations, watch movies, or play games without feeling crowded.

Each bedroom includes thoughtful features such as full-size closets, vanity areas, workspace desks, and full-length mirrors, which guests often appreciate when traveling in groups or getting ready for outings and events. These details make the stay more comfortable and convenient, especially for longer visits.

Another feature guests enjoy is the entertainment space with an air hockey table, which adds a fun activity for families and groups spending time together indoors.
The location also makes the home unique, with the beach just one block away and the Keansburg Boardwalk and attractions only minutes away. Being able to walk to the waterfront while still having easy transportation access to New York City gives guests the best of both worlds.

Overall, the home offers a combination of space, convenience, and location that makes it a great option for groups visiting the Jersey Shore.
