Americana... By the Sea was our family beach house for many years. We now live in the area full time and continue to maintain this house as if we still occupy it.

I am a retired school administrator who served in a suburban Philadelphia school district for many years. Upon retirement in 2009, my husband and I decided to make the Jersey Shore our permanent home – and never regretted the decision.

That same year, I created “Sandyland Properties” and I have been busy acquiring and renovating properties for rental ever since. Sandyland Properties specializes in making accommodations for those interested in short term stays in Atlantic City and has already earned high marks. Learn more about us and Sandyland Properties in the “Why This Property” section.

Welcome to Sandyland, where accommodations for short term stays in Atlantic City are our specialty.

The original home, Americana…By the Sea was purchased by us in 2003 and served as our family beach house for many years. It was a wonderful get-away from the hustle and bustle of city life in the Philadelphia area. Since 2009 we have opened this home as well as the Grand Belle…By the Sea, Delancy Place and 2 beautifully appointed apartments for guests from all over the world to enjoy. We still live in the area and continue to maintain the houses as if we occupy them ourselves!

We have had a lot of fun collecting bits of Atlantic City nostalgia throughout the years and it can be seen in each of these houses in unique and attractive ways. Original prints from the very early days of Atlantic City’s history can be seen throughout the homes. An original 1920’s Rolling Chair looks out at unbelievable Ocean and Boardwalk views and Miss America memorabilia are just some of the features that are found homes at Americana…By the Sea. The Grand Belle boasts an original Bathhouse from the turn of the Century which has been lovingly restored. Delancy Place, one of the more recently built homes (1920), is a favorite for Bachelor and Bachelorette parties with a large regulation size pool table and a Speakeasy feel that cannot be denied!

Our guests at these beautifully restored homes are truly treated as "guests in our own home". As we did for so many years, we want them to also enjoy the beauty and tranquility of our southern New Jersey beaches and the many entertainment opportunities that Atlantic City has to offer. This is just one of the many reasons for the existence of Sandyland. Come “Down to the Shore” and join us!
