Point Pleasant Beach, New Jersey
With its cathedral ceiling and skylights, this well-kept beach bungalow offers ranch-style living, all on one floor, with just a single step into the entrance. Only three houses away, through the private gate, is the mile long, newly renovated Jenkinson’s Boardwalk, spanning the coastline, and running parallel to the most pristine wide stretch of white sand beach - raked and cleaned daily.
Situated on a dead-end lane, with a mixture of year-round residents and renters, "Beachcomber Lane" is perhaps the most desirable lane nearest the beach. Despite being narrow, it is one of the few lanes wide enough to drive a car down to unload luggage and groceries, and one of the few to offer both private parking (rare!) and private access to the beach and boardwalk via its own private gate. (Please note: this rental includes four beach badges and a designated parking space for one car.) Beachcomber Lane is also situated at the halfway point, sandwiched between the boardwalk and the Inlet. Turn right and walk to Jenkinson’s Boardwalk, with its lively games, rides, bars, shops, food, mini-golf, and the Jenkinson Aquarium. Turn left and discover the quieter "Inlet", where you can watch the boats come in, relax at the Tiki Bar with a beer and pizza, and listen to the sounds of acoustic music. It's your choice: join the crowds or escape for a bit - the easy access let’s you take advantage of everything Point Pleasant Beach has to offer.
Everything is within easy walking distance from this convenient beach house. There are party fishing boats, bike rentals, and lots of terrific bars and restaurants nearby. It's a short drive to Point Pleasant's charming downtown, or a nice long flat walk, if you desire. You’ll pass the train station...or hop aboard! Local stops (about 20 minutes) include the uber-hip town of Red Bank and live entertainment at The Count Basie Theater, or, if you're feeling lucky, visit beautiful Monmouth Park Racetrack - it's a great way to spend an afternoon! Downtown, you'll find antique emporiums with collectibles that will appeal to both serious buyers and browsers alike, trendy boutiques for young and old, consignment shops, home decor and, of course, lots of local souvenirs. Sprinkled throughout the downtown are Portuguese, Italian, Chinese, American, Sushi and Seafood restaurants, as well as gourmet delis, bagel shops, and great places to grab breakfast, lunch or a coffee. At night, take in a headliner comedy show, share a pitcher of sangria and a dance, or grab a hamburger and fries...all within the downtown.
Wanna drive a little further 'Premium Outlets', less than 15 minutes away, includes stores such as Coach, Uggs, J.Crew, Adidas, Michael Kors, and more. And Atlantic City with its casinos, and top-name entertainment is about a sixty minute ride.
Following the heartbreak of Hurricane Sandy, this house underwent proper remediation, with total clean-up, treatment, and a major renovation in 2013. (Please note: The house is now smoke-free and absolutely no pets are allowed.) The cheery interior has a full kitchen, living room, three bedrooms, a full laundry room and a powerful "full house" a/c unit, plus cable TV, Wifi, a stereo and DVD player.
Bedroom #1 has a full size bed and closet. Bedroom #2 has a full size mattress and a TV. Bedroom #3 offers a full size bed. There are two full-size leather sofas in the living room. The fully equipped kitchen has a table & chairs, new granite countertops, new ivory cabinets with 'soft close' drawers, a refrigerator, microwave, blender, toaster, coffee pot, plus all the dishes, pots, pans and utensils you'll need. The beautifully tiled bathroom has a large walk-in shower (no tub), and for your convenience, a separate laundry room provides a full size washer and dryer plus an additional hanging rod for your clothing. Although outside space is limited, there is a gas grill for barbecuing, and an outdoor table & chair set that we share with our next-door neighbors.
So, come! Bring your family...kick back and relax! Enjoy a great vacation at Point Pleasant Beach, where there's truly something for everyone!
Our family had a great time at this property! Perfect location—so close to the beach, rides and games at the boardwalk, and restaurants. Nights were nice and quiet and neighbors were friendly. Bob, the host was also great. He was very easy to communicate with and responsive to questions. Would definitely recommend!
Let me first start by saying that I have rented numerous properties from VRBO. This was the first time that I had to send the property owner a $400 check. I received $370 back. His reason. We did not make 2 of the 3 bedrooms and did not take out the kitchen garbage. I explained that every other renter tells us to leave the beds we slept in undone so that the cleaning crew knows what beds to make. Owner tells me that the property is to be left the way we found it. Be aware, you will be sleeping in beds made by the previous renters. How much and what is he paying his “cleaning crew” to do ? I know that I at least paid them $30.
This home was just perfect for my little family. Our host was great to work with. My daughters and I had a lovely stay!
Great location for a family vacation the beach. The home was very clean and comfortable. I would say it is best suited for 6 adults only if they are couples. It did get a little close for my two grown sons to share space in a room but they still enjoyed themselves. Great location to the beach. Off the boardwalk but far enough away from the hustle and bustle of the main drag. Short walk to the beach made it easy for everyone to come and go as they please. Bob was a great host and very helpful. Parking seemed to be a very sensitive issue with the neighbors. Overall a very nice trip!
Location was fantastic. Property was clean. It was a great beach vacation with family.
Great place to stay-- clean and comfortable. Location was great, on an adorable private lane, 3 houses from the Boardwalk. Walking distance to the Aquarium and Amusements. Kids loved being able to walk to Donut shop and Deli in the mornings. Owner, Bob was helpful from beginning to end. Would definitely stay here again!
Loved the area and the house and definitely appreciated Bob being there for everything we needed. Since we booked it Bob called and introduced himself and then gave me tips about the place and beach restaurants etc. highly recommend and would def use again in the future. I traveled with two little ones and they loved the trip.
We are very happy with our stay here. Bob is very friendly and was always available to answer any and all questions. The property was exactly as described with a home away from home feel. Very close to boardwalk and beach and a very nice little stroll to all amenities. Neighbors were very friendly and welcoming. Parking is reasonably close. I would definitely recommend staying here!
This property has everything you could want and is in a great location. Parking for that area can be tricky but the space provided was sufficient. When we got there we though that the area (very small) in between the houses was a place that we could leave our stroller and sand toys but it ended up being the neighbors parking spot! Just be advised not to leave anything in there. The area is gated and locked so we felt very safe. Bob made our stay so easy and we will definitely be booking again!
My family and I had a wonderful week at Bob & Sheryl's beach house. The house contained everything we needed for cooking when we wanted to. Only steps to the boardwalk, yet located at the quiet end of town. Bob was very easy to contact when we had a question.
