Asbury Oasis- chill with a view
This is by far my favorite Airbnb I've ever stayed in. My sister and I had visited Asbury Park a month ago and wanted to come back, so we were so excited to find this beautiful gem so close to the beach! The space is absolutely perfect I would move in if I could! Everything from location to cleanliness to the kindness of the host it was a dream. If I ever visit again I will rebook in a heartbeat! Thank you so much Marisa for the most wonderful stay!

Private guest unit on beachfront house
Great, clean space at a great location. Having on-site parking was very helpful. Nice ocean views from multiple rooms.

Riverside Apt Close to the Beach & NYC Ferry
Buen alojamiento definitivamente volveria a ir muy comodo y seguro

View to Fletcher Lake and Ocean. Walk to Asbury Pk
Karen’s home was lovely! A great location a short walk from the beach and boardwalk, and easy to walk into downtown Ocean Grove from. Karen was an exceptional host, very welcoming, gave great recommendations, and was even flexible with a later check out than initially agreed upon. 10/10 would recommend staying here!

Beachfront Apartment near Amusement Park w/ views
Ashley was great!! Home was perfect. Great stay

Ocean front hotel apt full kitchen Seside heights
Greg was very responsive of my questions prior to the stay. The place was clean and what I expected. This is a beautiful spot to look out at the ocean I will definitely book this again in the future. Pricing was a little more than usual, however, it was worth every penny.

View sunsets,boats and the bay In Seaside!
We stayed at Jane's 8/19-22/24. The accommodations were clean and bright. Everything needed was available. Attention to guest need was evident throughout the apartment. The location was in a quiet neighborhood and the view of the bay was lovely. We are looking forward to staying here again. Thank you, Jane!

Adorable water-front studio! Minutes-Asbury Park
I hesitate to say how great this place is because I want it for every time I am in NJ. With that said, this place is incredible and the hosts are the best. The description of the place may be selling it short. Most evenings involved sitting on the beach across the street watching a gorgeous sunset followed up by a quick walk or bike ride to several top notch local places for food, drinks, and fun (Al Ponte for Thursday and Friday night lobsters).

We had a great time at Andrew’s. The location is perfect for views, walks, restaurants and access to the Sandy Hook Beach. Great stay, great host!

New York City Vacation Rental
The place is beautiful specially for night city view . Quite place . House is very clean everything and host is very friendly and respectful and responsible. I recommend it’s best for summer because you can enjoy river view on board and fresh air . Winters it’s very cold for close to river for air . We had fun and we enjoyed. Pretty quiet place. Lovely . Thanks

Water Views and Relaxation - The Ortley Oasis
Chris was a wonderful host—super communicative, friendly and helpful. The house was charming and tidy with a great outdoor hangout space. Only bummer was that there wasn’t any private space by the water. The house sits in front of another house that has water access. All in all a great experience though!

NEW! Family-Friendly Keansburg Home: Walk to Beach
Our stay was lovely. Hope to stay again!

Historic Canal Home on Nature Preserve
Absolutely stunning place to stay. Can’t wait to go back when the garden is growing!

Beautiful Renovated 1BR House
We rented over Christmas to be near our family for the holiday. Upon check in there was the issue of a frozen pipe, but the hosts were very accommodating and set us up in the main house. Extremely clean, warm, and welcoming it made for the perfect holiday away from our home. My husband was able to whip up desserts in the kitchen for us to bring to family, the backyard was spacious and for our dogs to run and play, and my young daughter felt right at home as did the rest of us. Thank you for a wonderful stay! We would be back again in a heartbeat and highly recommended!

Jersey beachhouse for family & big group gathering
David was a phenomenal host! His hospitality was great and his accommodations for my guests were exactly what we were looking for. I would recommend David to anyone looking for the beach front oasis.

Cozy Beach Block House~Walk 2 Beach, Bars, & More~
We enjoyed Ben’s place. We went off peak and it was a perfect location. We could walk to the beach and good restaurants. It’s also a quick drive to Asbury and Red bank, both of which are really cool towns. Perfect that I could bring my dog. And Ben was super responsive, which we appreciated. I would definitely return.
Waterfront condo rentals

Oceanfront Condo Directly On Beach!
You will just love it here! The grounds are well-kept and attractive. The pool and beach were lovely. The only issue with pool area is as soon as it opens, individuals take ownership of the tables with umbrellas by placing personal items on them yet no one may be there for extended periods of time. Those tables are the only respite from the sun which makes it challenging. Additional umbrellas over the lounge chairs would help or, simply not allowing “reservations” for the day- even better. I would suggest BYO beach chairs- the ones there are not ideal although nice to have been offered. Although we always had our beach/pool badges in our beach bags, personnel were not strict whatsoever. The unit itself is neat, well-appointed, comfortable and well-kept. The sofa reclines with the push of a button but is not a sofa bed per se. There is a foldaway bed in the closet of the master bedroom but we did not use it because space was limited. So much is provided and available and the view is spectacular. It was great to use the washer/dryer for small bits of laundry. The porch outside had two anti-gravity chairs and a pretty rocking chair with small tables to enjoy. We closed the black-out drapes in the master bedroom and deck doors during the heat of the day so that it remained cooler. The rules are simple and the check-in & out are easy. Lasolas Market in Rt. 35 North in Normandy Beach was close by and a great little find - bought a beautiful sirloin at butcher shop there and used huge onsite grill behind pool area. We rented jet skis and did some crabbing at Dockside Outfitters in Seaside Heights - great place. The Rt. 35 North offered many eateries, shops and ice cream shops- The Music Man for ice cream was cute. Point Pleasant and Seaside Heights boardwalks are short rides. Glenn was easily reached via airbnb and answered our few correspondences promptly. We appreciated our experience and Glenn’s hospitality. Thank you!

CONDO LIKE NO OTHER |SAUNA|OCEAN VIEW | POOL TABLE
The condo is spectacular and the host was very gracious and helpful! Note: there are alot of stairs to climb. We were unaware of this prior to checking in and my mother was unable to make it up the stairs due to her recent hip surgery. So please note there are stairs and it's not handicapped accessible. Otherwise great stay! Thanks!

Modern and Vibrant Beach Retreat in South Ortley
Overall - A Great Place Ideal Location, peaceful and relaxing, a short walk to the beach, 10-15 minutes walk to the boardwalk. Just like the photos, upscale look, pleasantly decorated. Very Clean and well appointed, linens, towels, extra blankets and trow blankets, kitchenware. beach chairs and umbrella. All appliances and in good working condition Secure building and assigned parking. Highly Recommended.

Beachfront Getaway on Private Residents Beach
Niki's place was amazing. We couldn't have asked for a better location. The view was beautiful. Niki had most of what we needed for the beach, which was so helpful: chairs and umbrellas. The house had all we needed to make meals at home and was close enough to walk to the boardwalk. The master bedroom's bed was exceptionally comfortable. Niki was great at communicating and helping us troubleshoot the TV when we couldn't turn it on. We would definitely stay here again.

Lovely 3 Bedroom Lavallette Beachfront Rental
Fantastic location and completely updated, clean, and comfortable rental. Everything you need is provided, including beach equipment. Access to the beach couldn’t be easier. Paula and Dwight were extremely responsive and gracious hosts and went out of their way to answer any questions and provide support when needed. Highly recommend!

Ocean Front 2 BR w/wrap around porch
We had a great time at the house! Everything was as listed. AJ was responsive and reached out with clear instructions on check in and house tips. The location was amazing, so close to the beach, and the neighbors in the rest of the house were very friendly. We loved chilling on the porch, and the quietness of Ocean Grove with the proximity of the more busy town of Asbury only about 3/4 of a mile away is perfect! Thanks again and we wil surely be looking to book again in the future!

Seaside Serenity: 3-Bedroom with Beach Access!
The inside of this house was so nice and host was super helpful. Good distance from beach, shops and boardwalk!

Cozy Stylish retreat - NYC & NWK w/free parking
Great host. Very responsive and was able to work out an early check in with me. Beautiful view of the city and very peaceful area. Definitely recommend!
