Great timing! Perfect weather.
After some very poor communication with Alex (property manager), we finally gained access to the unit. Sat on the porch for 40 minutes with no access codes. Alex accused me of providing VRBO with inaccurate email info!

I absolutely loved staying in Bay Head at this very cozy and comfortable condo. The host was immediately available and very helpful, the condo was spotless, and I spent so much time on the beach since it was only one block away. I cannot wait to come back.

Great stay!
We really enjoyed our time in Bay Head. We’ve been going every year for 10 years and this is the first time we went to the beach every day because of the great location. So nice that badges, chairs and wagon were included. Rode bikes to Muellers and Dune Grass. Lots of fun!

Lovely Dormer Condo
My adult daughter, two teenage children, and myself, spent a week in this cozy well-decorated condo. We enjoyed using the kitchen with 2 refrigerators and the nice big sink. There was a microwave, toaster oven, and hot plate, which was just enough during a vacation. The sitting and sleeping options were perfect. The private beach is beautiful and close, the neighborhood is lovely, and Bay Head and Point Pleasant have nice shops. We enjoyed the proximity to Point Pleasant boardwalk and also went to Seaside Heights boardwalk. Bay Head even has train service into NYC which we also experienced. My family and I would definitely visit and stay in this condo again!!

Peaceful beach retreat
This roomy, 2-bedroom was the entire floor of this 3rd-floor walk-up. Since the roof is angled, you need to be careful not to hit your head when you are on either side of the house. The kitchen was well-appointed with everything we needed. Two small refrigerators served well in place of one large one. Window units provided adequate AC for the place. A washer and dryer were available in the basement which my daughter used. There was one TV in the living room with an Amazon Prime stick. The unit's Wi-Fi worked well. Beach tags were provided which was a big plus. Beach equipment and bicycles were also available, but we did not need them. We had a small issue with parking (a car was in our assigned spot), but that was quickly resolved (we were given another space). The house is a mix of long-term and short-term rentals with tenants ranging from nosy and rude to helpful and pleasant. We were careful to keep quiet as instructed. There is not much to do in the immediate vicinity, but this is a great place if you are looking for a quiet getaway. Overall, it was a very cozy, relaxing space as advertised!

Perfect Getaway
The location was prime for us, off street parking a bonus. Loved having so much space, with seating options to follow the sun throughout the day. Having 2 mini fridges made space for everything. Lights, plugs, extra towels and blankets, perfectly placed for ease of use. We will come back again!

The perfect little get-a-way property
This condo is a perfect little getaway for a couple or small family. Everything you need to stay at the beach is included. It is very clean, comfortable & charming. We stayed in the fall season while in town for a wedding & were extremely happy with our choice. Just steps frown the beach, we couldn’t ask for more. Sunrises every morning & a comfortable bed at night! I could definitely see us staying at thisproperty again in the future. The owner was easy to communicate with & accommodating to our needs.

Victorian attic
While the location was great, there were some concerns 1. We stayed on the third floor and hall lights were only lit for the first two. My wife did not feel safe going down the stairs. I called the property contact and he guessed a bulb was out. It was not repaired during our 5 day stay. 2. We were provided two washcloths for 5 day stay. When I called contact I was told to cut up an old beach towel in the property and use that. 3. Light was out on 10” mirror over sink. Very dark and challenging to see. 4. Only a few utensils available and no dinner plates. 5. Needs additional lighting inside. Could barely see in cooking area. Sorry. Don’t like leaving a negative review.

Dissatisfied renter
Only had a hot plate to cook When using the microwave you hit your head on the ceiling Listed as 2 bedrooms and there is one with a sleeper in the living room area The sink is the smallest we ever saw about 6”by 10” enough to bend over and gargle Use kitchen sink if you want to brush your teeth Have real fear of ever using verbose Suggest customers to chk place before renting if they are living in the same state

Lovely and beautiful
The apt was so cute and comfortable. The shared outdoor porch was a must for us every morning and evening. Its one block to the beautiful beaches of Bay Head and a 5 min walk to the amazing and artsy village of Bay Head. I can not say enough good things about our stay. I am really excited to stay here again. Bay Head is hands down the most beautiful shore point in New Jersey and the apt was absolutely perfect. Thank you for a restorative and restful week.

süß eingerichtete Dachwohnung - Viel „Zusatzbehör“ für den Strand (Stühle, Boards, …), Strandfahrräder auch verfügbar. Lage ist traumhaft (sehr Strandnah wie auf die andere Seite von der Bay). Sehr hilfbereiter Vermieter! Kleine Mängel: wenige Schränke um seine Klamotten zu verstauen.
