About this property

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

This stylish, well-maintained beach house has four bedrooms, two living areas, two full bathrooms, two eating areas, a patio, a sunroom, two entrances, private parking, 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 - please message me directly first to discuss.

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.

Beautiful Week at the Beach

We had a great stay! The house was clean with plenty of room for our group of 5. The location was perfect with easy access to the beautiful beach and the boardwalk. The neighborhood was great for walking. Kris was available and responsive. It was extra nice having beach towels and chairs available to use. A great vacation stay for family or friends. Highly recommend.

Great communication and location for teens

We are a large, blended family and enjoyed the beach passes, chairs, umbrellas and towels. Kris communicated with us well. There are a lot of amenities, so we cooked many meals at the house. The Food Shack is about 2 blocks away and is a lovely breakfast spot if you want to eat out. Great location, just minutes from Jenkinsons. There was also a lot of free street parking. The yard is not large, so the teens couldn't play their ball games, but they liked lounging in the 3 season room and large living rooms. Recommend for families! Kris was very responsive when there was a minor issue and he took care of it promptly.

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.

Amazing Visit to Point Pleasant

Two weeks after our trip is complete our three year old daughter keeps saying "can we go back to the beach house?" We had a fantastic time staying at this house with quick access to the beach and the boardwalk. We spent the entire week on the beach, at the arcade, riding the rides and barely ever drove a mile in the rental car. Everything we need was right there. The owners were very easy to work with and the house was in great shape. Highly recommend if you are looking for a comfortable place to stay on a quiet street with lots of activities within walking distance!

Perfect weekend getaway!

The house is a lovely property, 2 minute walk to the beach, and 5 minutes to the main attractions on the boardwalk. I loved being able to walk to the beach to drink my morning coffee! The house was perfect, with a huge family room, and a screened-in sun porch. There were 4 adults and 2 children and we were very comfortable. The house was well kept, had everything we needed, and Kris was a great host!

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.

Best Beach Vacation Ever!

We absolutely loved our week at the beach. This property is such a gem and so close to the beach. We were there before I even finished going over the rules with the kids. We have three kids and our son just turned one. The space is perfect for families since there is a large room away from the bedrooms that the adults can hang out after the kids go to bed. There’s a lot to do within walking distance or a short drive of the home and it’s location can’t be beat. It’s far enough away from the loud parts of the boardwalk so you can relax and the kids can sleep but close enough that it’s easy to get to the food and fun. Amazing trip!

Perfect beach house

The house was clean and perfect for 4 adults and two infants. It is 1/2 block from the beach, however that beach is private. You have to walk a little further down to get to the accessible beach. But that was no big deal. It was also great to be able to walk to the boardwalk. Overall, this house was great!

Perfect for families!

I can’t say enough about how perfect this location was for my family on our trip to Point Pleasant. The house was very clean and well organized, and the host responded quickly to the few questions we had before/on arrival. We could walk to the beach and boardwalk in 3 minutes, which was so convenient. We could easily stop back at the house between the beach and boardwalk. Our five-year-old loved the bunk room in the house, and the rides, arcades, and activities were perfect for his age. We spent one morning at the aquarium which was also very clean and nice. The fireworks on the beach on Thursday nights were fantastic as well. This house was the perfect location to be close enough to beach/boardwalk activities, but since it’s on the southern end it was also in a quieter part of town where we could count on there not being loud parties nearby keeping our child up all night. We no longer need a pack n play or high chair, but it was nice seeing those available in the house for those who might need them. We also enjoyed having two living spaces to spread out, and two dining spaces as well. It was great to have a driveway so we didn’t have to deal with street parking. The outdoor shower was nice too! We had a wonderful time, and would love to stay there again! Thank you, Kris!

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!
