Modern cottage in historic beach town

VickieRating, 5 stars9 months ago
We loved our time in the Getaway! It suited our needs, was very clean, and all instructions given by James were “right on”! From the extremely complete instruction manual to his responsiveness when we needed help, James was the best! The Getaway was well kept, had a collection of eclectic and modern furnishings all very durable. We loved that it had a porta crib, beach chairs, and umbrella. We never had any trouble finding street parking right in front of the house. We would stay there again. Thanks James!

Beachside 3-bdrm Beach block Steps to beach

RoyRating, 5 stars8 months ago
We were not expecting to have a great time on this trip and we were pleasantly surprised! The location could not have been better, the size for the price was amazing, and the house had an immediate Lajolla California feel to it! We were very happy with our stay and the price was not beatable by a Longshot! Thank You so much if we return to New Jersey we will definitely check with Alyson first!

Great family house. 6 adults and two very little children. Kitchen is spacious and the large and beautiful island was a great gathering spot for all. Grilled out in secluded yard that has outdoor furniture and fire pits. Added perks of boogie boards, beach umbrellas, etc. Large grocery store around corner.

Osprey nest

AdamRating, 5 stars9 months ago
It's a great place to stay. There were a couple minor problems that he was not aware of and as soon as i let him know he took care of them instantly. It's a great place to fly a drone if you have one. I would definitely recommend this house to others!

Your guide to Ocean Beach

Welcome to Ocean Beach

The Barnegat Peninsula occupies 20 miles of barrier island on New Jersey’s fabled Jersey Shore. It shifts from glittering amusement park rides to old-school Skee-Ball arcades and pristine beaches perfect for swimming and surf-fishing. In the middle of it all is Ocean Beach, a resort community and unincorporated section of Toms River township. After the devastation of 2012’s Hurricane Sandy, locals began elevating classic barracks-style bungalows onto pilings, or replacing them with larger cottages. But the vibe remains the same here: very family friendly.

Ocean Beach marries a cozy atmosphere with a splash of boisterous boardwalk culture. Once you’re done with the mini golf and pedal boats, head south to re-energize at the tranquil Island Beach State Park. Sand dunes and sugar-white coves sprawl 13 miles from Ocean Beach, punctuated by beach heather and prickly pear cactus.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Ocean Beach

The Jersey Shore teems all summer long. If you have the flexibility, wait for families to decamp when kids get back to school. You’ll avoid peak crowds, both on the road and at the seashore. Some beaches remain staffed by lifeguards until mid-to-late September; after that, chillier ocean temperatures send most swimmers scrabbling for wetsuits. That period also brings popular annual events like the Rock the Farm Festival, the Wheels & Wings Auto Show, and the New Jersey Festival of the Sea.

The shoulder seasons still hold plenty of appeal. April, May, September, and October’s typically mild temperatures invite walks, bike rides, kayak trips, and lazy days on the beach. Winter tends to be sleepy and more on the windy, shivery side.


Top things to do in Ocean Beach

Grave of Sinbad the Dog

Salty Atlantic sailors once celebrated a mutt smuggled aboard the U.S. Coast Guard vessel Campbell in 1937. Named Sinbad, the mascot got court-martialed three years later for chasing sheep. The commanding officer found him guilty and busted the draft-beer-loving scamp from First Class Dog to Seaman Pup. But nothing could tarnish Sinbad’s celebrity after a German U-boat almost sank the Campbell in 1943. Visit the heroic hound’s tomb at Barnegat Light Station, a 44-mile drive south from Ocean Beach.

The Paranormal Museum

Quirk it up at this compendium of curiosities in Asbury Park, 21 miles north. Displays include haunted dolls and the alleged skull of the Jersey Devil, a cryptid rumored to haunt the Pine Barrens. The museum also hosts ghost hunts and tours of the area’s haunted history.

Seaside Heights

This livelier town just three miles south has more of the classic Jersey Shore vibe. Add some adrenaline to your getaway with the 97-degree drop and three inversions on the Casino Pier roller coaster. For a more mellow experience, turn to Seaside Heights’ beloved 1910 Dentzel-Looff carousel, which will reopen nearby in mid-to-late 2022.
