Peace and quiet

Guests say this home is in a quiet area.
Goldie Point is a mid-century, cedar shingled bohemian beach cottage. A great gathering place for friends and family. This unique home is a 10 minute walk through the gorgeous board-walked dunes filled with pine trees to the clean, serene beach. You’ll find lifeguards on duty from May-September. This beach location is truly a surfers delight. Our home is also walking or biking distance to bars and restaurants, coffee shops and the like.

Less than 7 nights stays are available. Be sure to ask.

The space
Welcome to Goldie Point!

This is a place for dreamers and adventures to reset, find inspiration and create. Designed with a “slow” and “calm” pace in mind, our hope is that you enjoy every part of your stay. Whether it be waking up to the morning light with a fresh cup of drip coffee, soaking up some rays on the beach, or settling into the evening with a record playing on the turntable and a glass of wine in hand.

This beach house was built in 1958 with a deep history and budding future. Golden hour feels like every hour here with the sun shining softly into the home from sunrise to sunset. This house is full of luxury, vintage, colorful inspiration and is surrounded by endless ocean air.

Our home has four bedrooms, two king-size, and five queen-size Tuft and Needle mattresses. Luxury linens from Anthropologie complete each bed. There are two full bathrooms, one on each level, as well as an outdoor shower. We offer a fully outfitted kitchen with GE Café appliances, a large family room stocked with games, a projector, and a record player, perfect to put on as the sun sets.

Outside, you’ll find a second-story deck for outdoor eating, lounging, and games. Below you’ll find a fenced in backyard with fire pit as well as more space to relax and lounge.

Guest access
While you are staying at Goldie Point, the house will keep you cozy and comfortable. Feel free to relax on the back deck while listening to your favorite songs through the blue tooth outdoor speakers or turn on the lights strung across the backyard and make your way into the yard and settle into the fluffy beach chairs.

Other things to note
Our driveway fits two cars comfortably for easy and fast access to the house. Unloading is a breeze, but if you want to slow it down even more there is a fun wagon you can use to move your things. The wagon can also be taken to the beach. Just load up your stuff and you’re on your way. If the sand becomes too much - leave the wagon off to the side and grab what you need. You can always come back to it for more goodies.

Goldie Point is an old house with old plumbing and quirky features. PLEASE do not flush anything other than toilet paper.

The house has been updated, but the majority of the house has lamp lighting. We liked that aged aspect, so we've kept it that way. You will ll find light switches that may not seem as though they are turning anything on or off, but thats not the case. They activate the power outlets in the rooms.

Our drinking water is clear, clean and refreshing, so no need to worry about a filter or bottled water.

There is easy access to sea-doo and boat rentals for exploring the Barnegat Bay and out into the ocean. Surf boards, body boards, kayaks and paddle boards can also be rented nearby.

Bikes are located in the yellow shack ‘out back’ and can be used for a pedal around the town if desired. Please show care and softness to them as a few of them are nearly as vintage as the house. Bikes can also be rented a few blocks away if more are needed.

Meet your hosts

My work: Clothing Designer
Lives in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
I am head of design for Urban Outfitters. My family and I currently live in Philadelphia, PA. We love to travel and finding the perfect place to stay is a big part of the excitement. My husband and I are both from the Southwest and before Philadelphia we lived in New York for 14 years. We both care about aesthetics greatly. We love creating a beautiful space with art, beautiful furniture, and textiles. We recently bought a fixer upper beach house in Barnegat Light, New Jersey. Long Beach Island! We have spent the last year trying to create a beach bungalow that is modernized, but just as charming as the original (Phone number hidden by Airbnb) 's home. We have really enjoyed creating such an eclectic space and we are excited to have the community stay there. We are very neat & tidy, details mean everything in our house. We love having people over or showing people our hidden gem spots to eat or see. We have a 2 1/2 year old little boy named Goldie and a very well behaved dog name Jackson that we love to take to the country or to the beach to run around. We live for riding bikes, seeing interesting art, finding hidden treasures, and quirky details.
