We had an amazing stay at Beach Pass and definitely would return! It was a great amount of space for our family of 4. The space was clean, updated and had everything we would need for an extended stay. We loved the location! Truly just steps from everything in Margate. The hosts were communicative and made everything clear and easy for us. Thank you so much!!
We had a wonderful stay. The basement laundry room was a big plus and the outdoor shower included beach equipment. The kitchen was well stocked with everything you would need. The beds were comfy and the location was great.
Betsy was a fantastic host.Property is exactly as described. Super close to the beach. 1 block away from primary Margate stores. Awesome beach bungalow.
The location was perfect. I grew up in Margate and had not been back in 19 years. Knowing the area led me to find and rent that property and it was beyond even my expectations. We walked everywhere. To all the restaurants nearby, Starbucks and Hot Bagels. The beach was across the street. Even the weather was perfect every day for our stay. I know the history had something to do with that even. Parking was easy and convenient. And the house was great. It was like being home. 6 out of 5 stars. Perfection. —Kevin

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication
The hosts were very responsive and eager to make sure our stay was enjoyable. The duplex was clean and well equipped but it was not clear that it was adjacent to a travel agency on one side and a multi unit apartment building on the opposite side. It worked out fine but I expected to be on a residential street with single family homes. The travel agency had bright lights in the alley set to on all evening - the bedrooms are all on the alley side. We were hardly at the house because we had family nearby so we basically only slept there.
Every thing was good, besides the plumbing issues. The kitchen sink wasn’t draining well, garbage disposal was still working and we didn’t understand what’s causing the water to back up.

Response from VrboOwner on 20 Aug, 2025
We were immensely grateful for our guest raising this to our attention. Her swift report allowed us to secure a plumber who promptly addressed the issue, removed the clog, and installed new plumbing.
The perfect spot for our family’s summer getaway. Unbeatable location, just a block from the beach; down the block from Casel’s, yoga, Jersey Cow (maybe too close ), and so much more; short walk to the boardwalk; and a perfect mile walk from rest of Margate and Ventnor restaurants. We loved the walk-ability of the neighborhood, but when we did need our car, street parking was never an issue. The home was clean, quiet, and well stocked for our extended stay. Excellent A/C units and ceiling fans kept it very cool. Thank you to Betsy who was a wonderful host!
We are the proud owners and managers of BEACH PASS! We are a family from the surrounding PA/NJ area, and Margate has been a part of our lives for over 50 years. The adjoining house has been in our family for decades. We have countless memories of spending weekends and summers "down the shore" with our own children, and we purchased and completely modernized BEACH PASS in 2020 with the express goal of sharing this wonderful town and experience with others.
We live approximately two hours away, which allows us to be hands-on with the property and instantly responsive to our guests. Many former guests have described us as being very attentive to details and exceptionally responsive to any questions. We have a full, reliable list of local contractors and service providers ready to address any emergency swiftly, ensuring your vacation is seamless. We enjoy biking the Ventnor boardwalk, cooking with fresh ingredients from the local market, and, of course, soaking up the Margate sunshine!
We are delighted to be your hosts and help you build your own cherished memories here.
Why they chose this property
We chose this exact neighborhood because it is the quintessential Margate experience. It offers the perfect combination of upscale coastal living, convenience, and community feel. Margate is distinct from the larger, more crowded shore points, it's smaller, more refined, and family-focused.
Our location truly cannot be beat: You are one block from the serene Atlantic Ocean, making beach trips effortless. You are also within an easy stroll of everything you need: the top-quality restaurants that Margate is famous for, a nearby supermarket, the wine and liquor store, and the public library. Whether you're a fitness guru looking for a beach yoga session or a run along Atlantic Avenue, or a family seeking a relaxing day of shopping and dining, this neighborhood puts you at the center of it all. We have enjoyed this block for over half a century, and it embodies the safe, welcoming, and vibrant beach town atmosphere that makes Margate so special.
What makes this property unique
BEACH PASS is unique in Margate because it offers the perfect balance between luxury, space, and affordability, putting us in a coveted niche between the larger properties and the smaller, less private condos.
