Beauty by the Sea - 7bd Charming House 5min Walk to Beach - Pet Friendly

Everything was perfect! Came into town for my son's wedding, and our family and friends stayed together here. Had a great time!! Will definitely come back!!

The positive: ample rooms and bedrooms, and the home was spotless for those, like me, who appreciate a spotless rental. The driveway was large enough for three, maybe four vehicles. No street parking needed. The bedrooms had good closet space with some wire clothes hangers, and there were enough bathrooms to accommodate us. The location was excellent for the wedding we were attending in Long Branch. Unfortunately, we didn't have an opportunity to use the beach because of inclement weather. The two children in our group went to the nearby arcade with their parents for entertainment. There was plenty of space to dine, six seats in the kitchen and eight in the dining room. Window air conditioners are installed in all the bedrooms, a big plus on hot and humid days. We were two families and an au pair. The negative: Three random sofas in the living room screamed frat house. No end tables or cocktail tables to place a drink or snack. The bedroom furnishings (pillows and bedspreads) needed serious updating. There wasn't a complimentary bar of soap in any of the showers, only hand soap dispensers near the sinks. Some of the torn window shades needed replacing. The home did not include a few beach passes, as some other beach rentals we've rented in the past have. This is probably a fair place for a large group who aren't as fussy as I am. And, some of the online photos need to be updated to view the actual rooms.

This is a great place for a group -- so close to the beach and lots of space to stretch out.

The house itself was great for location and a larger party! Communication was not ideal though at all.. check in and check out process was tough because we got our information very last minute, and it took numerous times to get through to the host through the vrbo messaging system. Other than that, our stay was great.

Our family enjoyed staying at this home with an old Victorian charm. Pictures are accurate. Host was kind to send new linens from Target upon our arrival.

Was perfect for Holiday with the family. Lots of space and rooms to accommodate everyone and great kitchen for cooking. We very much enjoyed our stay and will definitely stay here again!!

This was a very beautiful house with a lot of space for a big group. We loved the house and the host was very accomodating

Our family of 11 stayed at this beautiful house. The 7 bedrooms provided enough space for the grandkids to spread out while the large living room, dining room and kitchen was great for all of us to hang out together. It is a 10 minute walk to the beach and only a bit longer to Pier Village with lots for kids to do. Plenty of parking. The owner was extremely responsive and very good to deal with.

Wonderful house just minutes from the beach. Mina was a responsive host. Highly recommend!

Many issues with the stay. -The house was still being cleaned by the staff when we showed up at check-in time of 5:00. We did not get into the house until 5:30pm. -The shower door in one of the master baths was broken off. The shower handle in the other master bath was unusable because it was falling off. A handyman was sent to fix these was able to do temp fixes that didn't work. The handyman showed up with no shirt, bare feet and very dirty. His dirty feet left stains on the bathroom floors which we had to clean up. The shower with the broken handle got a more permanent fix late on the second day but the handle fell of again so we had to do a temp fix ourselves.-The 3rd floor bathroom was not cleaned. Many human hairs around bathroom.-Coffee maker had old dirty grounds left in it.-Some of the bathroom and bedrooms doors are very difficult to close and very loud when you close them because there clearances are too tight. A little time and effort would fix these issues-Large dark stain on white comforter in one of the master bedrooms. -Broken kitchen counters-No dishwasher soap, had to buy our own-Hand soap in the kitchen and main level bathroom were empty-Mold around the interior shower base of one of the master baths. -Exhaust fan in main floor bath broken.-We verified everything in the checkout instructions were completed only to get a message from the owner after checkout that sheets needed to be taken off the bed. This was not in checkout instructions.

Absolutely loved our stay! So many nice amenities and the host is great!

We really enjoyed our stay at Beauty by the Sea, especially the well-appointed kitchen, sparkling clean bathrooms, comfortable living spaces and easy access to the beach. We hope to return for another visit one day.

We were in town for a wedding. About 13/14 of us stayed at the home. Was very spacious and you didn’t feel crowded, even with that many people. Host was very responsive when we had to call about a bee problem after the 1st night. She sent someone out right away. And when the bees were still getting in the house she sent someone the next day as well.

The house was perfect for our large family. It was spacious, had a lovely wrap around porch which we enjoyed sitting on and the beach & boardwalk was just a short walk away.
