About this property

Seaside Family Retreat - 3 Min. Walk to Beach; badges included. Dog-friendly!

This stylish, well-maintained, and highly-rated beach house has four bedrooms, two living areas, two full bathrooms, two eating areas, an extended patio, a sunroom, two entrances, private parking for 3 cars and a fully fenced in back yard. The house regularly hosts large families with ease and joy and is dog-friendly. The house also has central air-conditioning and a large outdoor shower. Your stay includes towels, linens, beach badges, and beach chairs.

**Dogs are allowed - if more than one dog, please send me a note.

The home sits on one of the most desirable streets in Point Pleasant for its access and serenity. The home sits right at the southern end of the boardwalk, where you can be on the beach in 3 minutes without dealing with all the constant traffic/parking noise or endless late-night beach bungalow partying. The neighbors are a blend of long-established, family-owned beach homes and year-round residents.

Point Pleasant Beach is a vacation paradise with great restaurants and family attractions just a walk or short bike away. Inside, you're enjoying quality family-time with your 2 livings rooms (one of which is massive), sunroom, and centrally air-conditioned bedrooms.

THE LOCATION
Walk out the door, and within 3 minutes you're on the boardwalk and beach, which entertains at all hours with games, roller coasters, mini-golf, a funhouse, tiki bars, and even a premier aquarium! Take in the experience of all Jenkinson's Boardwalk has to offer.

Take a 15-minute stroll and you're downtown, with area-famous restaurants with some of the best (fresh!) seafood, burgers, steaks, and Italian food on the shore. Walk north to the inlet, for acclaimed lobster rolls, live music, and scenic views of the ocean and waterways.

THE HOUSE:
This house is the ultimate lounge space, with new, comfortable furniture, two dining areas, a closed-in sun patio, and an absolutely spectacular massive, carpeted family-room for post-beach games and cocktails, including a working, wood burning, fire place. Each living room includes a queen-sized sleeper sofa.

The full-sized kitchen includes full-sized appliances (including a large dishwasher), and an open-galley style setup for you cook up a storm, or blend a drink before going out to any of the amazing attractions a few steps away.

The full-sized bathroom includes a newly renovated shower/tub. The laundry room doubles as an extra half-bathroom. The outdoor shower is a must at least once during the stay (or every day!)

THE NEIGHBORHOOD:
For family-friendly beachside fun, it’s hard to beat Point Pleasant Beach. The expansive beach is kept crystal clean and the Boardwalk is great for kids (of any age) with dozens of rides along with games of chance, some of the most competitive miniature golf at the beach and Jenkinson’s Aquarium. Fireworks are on Thursday nights, and free movies are offered on the beach Friday nights (during summer).

All of the required indulgences are offered along the mile-long Boardwalk, including waffles and ice cream, sausage and peppers, popcorn and cotton candy. There are numerous other dining opportunities, from on-the-go to full-service.

Off the Boardwalk, there’s year-round entertainment and dining centered along Arnold Ave., with choices including Uncle Vinnie’s Comedy Club and Europa South restaurant for Portuguese cuisine.

And if it’s not beach weather, don’t despair: Point Pleasant Beach is also an antiquers’ delight. Both Bay and Arnold Avenues have a number of spots to hunt for hidden treasures and the Point Pavillion Antique Centre offers over 40 dealers conveniently located under one roof.

We had such a great week. The beach is incredibly close and really nice - soft white sand, free access, new beach umbrellas. The house was spotless and well equipped. Point Pleasant and its boardwalk are manageable in ways that others are not - we enjoyed lots of seafood as well as great Mexican food and of course Jersey diners. And we even fit in some antiquing. Highly recommend.

Seaside Family Retreat was perfect for our family of six, all adults. Checking in at 4PM was simple since we were supplied with the door code. We enjoyed the big family room and outdoor space. The fenced in yard was perfect for my son’s dog. Cooking was easy in the kitchen as well as grilling on the back patio. Most of our meals were eaten at the large table outside.

Simply Perfect

The home is exactly as pictured and described. There was so much space for gathering, chilling and sleeping. Additionally we loved just how close it was to the beach. While our time of year was less about beach, if you come in the summer this is ideal for any size group. The neighborhood was quiet and respectful.

A nice family vacation spot

Nice beach house, just as described in the listing. Very close to the boardwalk and Jenkinsons beach. Unfortunately Jenkinsons beach was closed, but Maryland beach was open with plenty of free on street parking close to to the entrance. A bonus to us was that the house was well equipped for babies (pack n play, highchair, bath equipment etc). All in all, a nice family vacation spot.

Great family vacation

Our family had a fantastic vacation at this house. A short walk from the beach and boardwalk was ideal, especially for the kids. But it was far enough away from the boardwalk bars that we enjoyed peace and quiet in the evenings and the beach was not overly crowded during the day. Two spacious living rooms plus a sun room was more than enough space for the kids to play and for the adults to relax. Great communication with the owner before and during the trip. Highly recommend.

About the host

Hosted by Kris Sandor

Host profile image
I grew up in North Jersey and took family vacations to the shore. Now we have a lovely home of our own for our family to enjoy as well as our guests. We take pride in keeping a very comfortable and well-maintained home that is a pleasure to be in, in a town that we love.

Why they chose this property

Point Pleasant Beach is the most fun you can have at the beach on the entire eastern seaboard. We love that it’s so easy to find fun things for the kids to do, between the beach, the boardwalk, and local playgrounds.

The restaurants are fantastic and it’s always a treat to visit and dine out. We also love that the commercial fishing boats pull right into the northern end of town to fill the local markets. You can’t beat the seafood in town!

What makes this property unique

The house is steps from the ocean and in one of the best beach towns in New Jersey! I love being able to walk 2 minutes and be at the beach, even if just to relax on a bench with my coffee.

The home has been described by many guests as “sneaky” because from the street it doesn’t look big but once you go in you find a lot of common space, with multiple spots for people to group up and relax.

The bedrooms are on the smaller side but still quite comfortable and the common areas are bigger than most homes twice its size. If you’re coming with friends and family and plan to socialize, this is the right place to stay!
