The property was amazing. Sitting in their beautiful yard and looking out to the beach and the river I felt transported into a Thomas Kincaid picture. Just a short walking distance is a small public pier, where you can fish or crab. You are near all the shore points, but if you just want to relax and enjoy the small town vibe you have it all. The apartment was very clean and our hosts were wonderful. This was the best vacation we have ever had.

Our first time at the location

Gus and Margaret are great hosts. The location was right on the water so it didn’t involve lugging umbrellas and beach chairs back and forth. We look forward to staying there again.

Vacation Gem

First time at this location and it is a very beautiful. It was especially convenient for us as first time parents with a 7 month old baby. The beach was literally right there so if we forgot something for the baby everything was at arms reach. Their outdoor seating area was perfect to enjoy breakfast/lunch and or dinner. Definitely wake up to watch the sunrise when you stay at this place.

The perfect place for peace

This little gem on the water quickly became an incredibly special place. It’s a quiet town with beautiful beach and great boardwalk for walking. The owner is incredibly kind and the small space is an ideal getaway or break or retreat. I plan to return!

Beautiful and peaceful

Wonderful, friendly, responsive hosts. For being a small apartment there is plenty of storage. Very clean. Wonderful, quiet location. Patio is a wonderful place to enjoy your meals. Calm waters are great for swimming and kayaking. Exactly the low key restful vacation I needed. Already have plans to return.

Our place was very clean and a perfect location. It was nice to kayak every morning in the Bay. The owners are very nice and thoughtful. The place was complete with shampoo, toilet paper and other assoc. Ocean Gate is a hidden treasure. Just enough to do. Nice restaurants

Peaceful Bay Getaway

What a peaceful and relaxing spot! This location was perfect for me. The beach is literally right outside the door, the covered patio is wonderful if the beach gets too hot, and the apartment was cozy, comfortable and spotless!! Ice cream, pizza, a corner store and a pub are right around the corner and Shoprite is only a mile away. Can't recommend this gem enough!!! I will be returning!

Perfect Waterfront Apartment in Ocean Gate, Ocean County, NJ

I was thoroughly thrilled with my visit to this perfect apartment in Ocean Gate, NJ. It is immaculate, thoughtfully appointed and maintained to perfection. There is a full kitchen, bathroom w/shower stall, bedroom with sitting area and a large closet. A smart TV is available with A+ wifi service and air conditioning. The water pressure was wonderful and the showers were refreshing. I slept very comfortably in a full-sized bed with crisp cotton linens and comfortable pillows. The neighborhood is silent at night and the landlords are very quiet when present. An off-street parking space is available, as is a clothesline, sanitation, and an immaculate outdoor shower for washing away the beach days. The absolute highlight of this apartment is the location. It is directly on the boardwalk and Ocean Gate Beach, with comfortable outdoor seating, picnic tables, lovely gardens, a gas grill and access to beach chairs and kayaks. The owners could not have been more kind or accommodating! You can enjoy the beach breezes while you watch the sun rise and set over the Barnegat Bay and Toms River. The apartment has been recently remodeled and everything is fresh, new and highly functional. Another great feature is proximity to all the local shopping, restaurants, main roads/highways, parks and taverns. Everything is about a 5 minute drive.You can't beat this location. I would recommend this property for 2 adults only, the bed and shower may feel a bit too small for XL visitors.

Excellent beachfront and boardwalk right outside your door. Relaxing, kayaks are a blast, Gus and Margret are excellent hosts. Very clean, all sheets, towels, supplied. In walking distance to local convence store, pizza place and The Anchor Inn, highly recommend eating there. Neighborhood is very friendly, enjoyed our stay. Patio is right on beach.

Internship at DDR

The apartment smelled really clean when I arrived. The location was right on the boardwalk. A great locations for nice long walks along the water and still close to everything: groceries, laundromat, restaurants. The neighborhood is very quiet and the neighbors were friendly. The kitchen is equipment is very basic. I did some simple cooking and would have liked a vegetable peeler, a working can opener, a cheese grater and one baking dish. But that might not be an issue for someone coming to relax and mostly eating out. I was there for work and needed to be able to have meals ready for after long days at work. It's a nice safe place to take the kayaks out because it is not on open ocean.
