About this house rental

This adorable beach cottage was recently totally renovated! All NEW- kitchen, floors, furniture, and freshly painted. We have designed this home for our family, so we made the decisions for our renovations with high end choices in mind. The home has 2 bedrooms, one queen and one with a twin and bunk bed. The home sleeps 5 very comfortably and has plenty of storage. There is a full-sized bathroom with tub. The kitchen is very well equipped with serving for 12, full sized appliances, and granite countertops. A kitchen table that seats 6. A full size front loading washer and dryer is located in the home as well. There is a side deck with lots of seating to enjoy dinner outside, a natural gas grill, and an enclosed outside shower. Our home also has central air conditioning and baseboard heating.

Bed Linens, bath towels, beach towels, beach chairs, and a wagon and beach toys are included for your convenience.

A short walk in either direction is the Monterey Beach Ocean and the Monterey Beach Bay Park. The ocean is very family friendly and protected by lifeguards during the summer season. It is a private beach to our community and a badge will be required and will be provided to you and your guests ( This is a $90 fee that I have already included in your rental cost). 8 badges will be available to you during your stay. Depending on which week you are here, there may even be some family festivities planned by our community.

The bay beach is a great way to spend the early morning and evening hours with the children or when the beach is a little too cold- it may be just right at the bay. We have swings, a jungle gym, and places to explore looking for fish and crabs. Bike riding the Bay Blvd in Lavallette and the ocean boardwalk before 10am is also a great activity. We have some local restaurants, bakeries, surf shops, and ice cream palors all within walking distance. You can also take a quick bike or car ride into Lavallette to explore even more.

Other attractions and areas that you can enjoy by a 10-15 min car ride is the Point Pleasant Boardwalk and Rides, Jenkinsons Aquarium, Chadwick Miniature Golf, Seaside Boardwalk and Rides, Breakwater Beach Water Park, Barnacle Bills Arcade, and Island Beach State Park.

Perfect for our family for a Mother’s Day getaway weekend. We tried the food place suggestions she gave us and they were fantastic! Lenny’s pizza, Megs grill, Patti’s, all really great. Beds were very comfortable! Lots of extra blankets which we all appreciated!! The kids went nuts over the bunk beds!! Super cozy and close to everything— thanks again!

We stayed for 2 nights- just looking for a short getaway as we have a newborn. The big kids loved being so close to the bay beach / playground. It was a 10-15 min walk to restaurants in Lavalette. We wish we could have stayed longer!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here! The owner, Theresa, was so nice and very responsive to our needs. One suggestion would be to come prepared with current information about the area and it's dining spots as the information in the cottage is okay but a little old, in some cases. But in the scheme of things, that is nothing in comparison to the fun we had and the loveliness of the cottage. Highly recommend this spot!

Perfect Beach Cottage

Perfect Beach Cottage

Perfect location and perfect-sized beach cottage for family of four. Kitchen is beautifully redone. Outside shower was a nice plus. Walking distance to ice cream and local restaurants. Super-fast wifi and extended tv/cable package made a few rainy afternoons whiz bye. Shed is perfect size for bike storage. Patio, grill and picnic table all added to a great experience. Beach is so close that we were able to easily run back and forth to the house a few times a day.

Quaint and Functional !

Quaint and Functional !

The location is perfect for kids and our family of 5, There is a bay and beach walking distance and plenty of parks on both the beach and bayside. Bike rentals around the corner , ice cream trucks come around near the parks, nice upgraded kitchen with all the amenities. If you like making smoothies I suggest you bring your ninja blender or foodie to maximize your time out doors especially if you have picky eaters. Multiple Grocery stores within reach which is always a must have with kids. Love the fact that it wasn't as crowded as other beach towns and people are friendly.

Nice Beach Bungalow

Nice Beach Bungalow

We had a very nice time at the little house. Great location between Ocean and Bay beaches. Our son loved the playground on the Bay side. The owner was informative and quick to respond. Overall the house was cute and redone, a little shopworn here and there. Could have been a little cleaner in the bathroom.

We rented Theresa’s cottage for a 3 day girl vacation, we all found it very comfortable and clean, the neighborhood was quiet and the people we saw were very friendly. When we had a question, Theresa was quick to respond. The beach was close enough to walk to . We walked down there just for a few hours when we got there as we spent most of our trip down at seaside which was a short trip down the road. I do recommend this place to anyone who would like a nice quiet place to stay!

We were very pleased with our experience in this adorable beach cottage. The home was clean and well stocked for our stay. The beds were very comfortable and the outdoor shower made coming in from playing in the sand easy clean up. The home is only about a block away from the bay beach which has a wonderful park and water access that our daughter enjoyed each day. The neighborhood was beautiful and friendly. We would highly recommend this home for any small family. We hope to visit again in the future!

A Grrat Family Vacation

A Grrat Family Vacation

We had such a wonderful week staying st Theresa and Dans cottage by the sea. It was just adorable and perfect for our family of 4. The updated amenities and things they thought of - from puzzles and books inside the house to a trunk full of beach toys outside, was so convenient and made us feel like the house was really "ours" for the week. The location cannot be beat - a block and a half to the bay/playground and 2 1/2 short blocks to the beach. We walked to the seafood market, the bakery and our to dinner both nights we went out. The nights at home, we had dinner on the side deck and enjoyed watching people ride bikes, skateboard and walk past the house. We definitely plan to rent this property againa dn highly recommend!

Great cottage in Lavallette

Great cottage in Lavallette

This is our second time staying at Theresa's cottage in Lavallette. It is a great place - small but laid out well with all the amenities! The boys enjoy the bunk beds in the second bedroom and we love that there is a nice kitchen and a washer and dryer. The location is wonderful - close to the beach and within striking distance of all the different attractions the area has to offer. This place is definitely on our favorites list.

Perfect!

Perfect!

This is a cute little cottage and was perfect for our stay. We were down "off season" for a family wedding. My husband and I wanted someplace close to wedding venue and reception - and this fit the bill. Very well equipped (although we did not cook except to boil some water) this kitchen had it all. Plenty of room for sleeping with 2 bedrooms (we only used "the master"). Bathroom, living room and table to dine at round out the cottage. My husband took a walk in the morning - on and off the beach - and then sat out on the patio of the cottage. Sun, comfortable temps, and slight breeze made for a happy guy. I will remember this cottage if we're down to see family again! Thank you for your lovely home!
