About this house rental

Celebrate summer in this unique, historic East Ave classic beach house. This property is perfect for multi-generational families and friends seeking stress free beach proximity with plenty of space and charm inside and out. Located across the street from the guarded beach, kids spend their days riding the waves under the watch of our very friendly life guards while you relax with toes in sand and cool beverage in hand.
Located a stone's throw from Bay Head's fabulous Mueller's Bakery, visitors can walk or ride a bike to local shops just a block away. Ideal for kids who love to play hide-and-seek, grown ups who enjoy cool drinks on one of the wrap-around porches, and teenagers who might even put down their phones to enjoy a round or two of Ping Pong. We recently added a player piano for the enjoyment of those who can play as well as those who can't :)
Enter the house from the huge front porch with can seat about a dozen people in Kennedy rockers and comfy wicker seating, right into the formal living. On the right is the diniing room/family room. The dining table easily seats 14 without crowding the two couches and player piano in the family room area. Just off the dining room there is a "Butler's Pantry" or as we call it, "The Bar" which includes a sink, dishwasher and plenty of glassware.
For dining outside, we enjoy breakfast on the east porch as the sun rises, cocktails on the back patio by the grill, and dinners on the large main porch in the shade.
The big, bright, fully equipped, family-style eat-in kitchen features center island for chopping, chatting and serving quick meals and snacks to kids of all ages and a large (expandable) table and chairs in the corner for up to 8 people. Coffee Maker, blender, microwave, toaster, and electric teapot available for your convenience.
There are a couple of bikes in the garage as well as plenty of beach chairs and sand toys. The large yard and driveway can accommodate all your cars, which you won't need while in Bay Head. But if you'd rather avoid the traffic our home is also just a 10 minute walk from the Bay Head train station with convenient service to New York and points north.
Feel free to set up croquet or badminton in the yard. There is plenty of space for a good game of tag, too. The outdoor shower is a staple of the classic shore cottage.
Friends and family have celebrated weddings, birthdays and a variety of milestones in this home and we hope you enjoy it as much as we do. It is ideal for large family gatherings! The ice cream on the cake?....the Good Humor Man drives past the house daily!

We were new to Bay Head but have been renting on Jersey Shore for 15 years. The property location was amazing. Listening to the Ocean while the windows were open was such a treat. Walking to resturants and shops was also a bonus! We stayed with all 5 siblings and their kids. Everyone loved the house. It is older house with lots of charm and history but you won’t find too many modern amenities/features. We appreciated that part and the owner was very clear on that before we booked.

This is an incredible rambling beach house that you just don't find any more. Tons of charm, all of the amenities just across the street from the beach! We walked to the bakery, surf shop and cute shops that were just around the corner. We enjoyed the boardwalk just a few towns away. The house had tons of room to fit family and friends and was stocked with everything we could think of. Great big kitchen for group meals. Nice shady yard in the back for kids to play. Our hosts were amazing, checked in often and were so easy to work with. Will definitely be back!

We have owned and rented homes in Bay Head for nearly 20 years and after two weeks at this home we have found the crown jewel. This home is everything one could want or expect from a historic Old Bay Header beach home. Location is tremendous!! Our party consisted on 13 people and four families. Ages ranged from 8 to 88. Everyone had a blast. The porch is just divine!! Thank you again for one of the best Bay Head Vacations!!

I want to thank you so much for the use of your wonderful house. It was so much like our old Bay Head house it was eerie. My family and I raised three generations there and we consider it our home town. I loved hearing the sound of the surf all night, the old train whistle in the middle of the night and the fire whistle directing the volunteers to a fire. I loved the squeaks of the stairs as we tried in vain to sneak down in the morning without waking others. You are so well stocked with refrigerators, beach chairs, easy beach access, outdoor and indoor games, grills, crabbing equipment, a large yard for the kids to play, a wonderful swing/slide set and of course the delightful ping pong room! It was a glorious gathering and a proper memorial to our 93 old Matriarch who died in March. Thanks so much. PS Your note to looters is hilarious.

This house and it's host is what you wish your vacation experience would be but seldom is. The owners take exceptional care of all that's old and have made quality upgrades where it counts. The appliances were all there and all working and the new central air worked like a charm on our one warm day. All other days were open windows, ocean breezes and sunny skies. The joy in this house is something you can just sense. It's big enough for the whole family, but super comfy with plenty of private spaces, nooks and crannies. And if you happen to love your morning shower, wow what great water pressure! Can't recommend this stay enough. Swimming at dawn and walking at sunset, this one really was a "memory maker".

This is a great home for families-terrific kitchen, lots of gathering spaces, lovely front porch with tons of bedrooms. There is central air on first floor and units in many bedrooms. The house is a classic old home a stones throw from the beach and a few more steps to the bakery! We had a fabulous time!

Wow! What a magnificent spacious home. You can feel the memories run through this historic house overlooking the beach. My husband and I spent some anniversary time here this May. Our bedroom overlooked the beach and the ocean. We literally opened our eyes in the morning to check out the surf. We had fun exploring all the rooms and the basement that used to serve as changing rooms. We found this to be the perfect compliment of modern amenities (internet, showers, great kitchen) with historic charm. In the evenings we played ping-pong in a wonderful second floor room while listening to the ocean waves. In the mornings we walked 100 feet to the beach to play in the surf, walk the beaches. We brought our bikes and used them to explore the surrounding area, the harbor and the nature reserve. Plenty of good eating right up Bridge Ave.. Had it rained more, we planned to go to the boat and car museum. On the way home we started making plans for a large family reunion. If you love the beach this is an awesome easy house for beaching it and having fun.

If your looking for an authentic Bay Head beach experience then this is your spot. Charm and character best describe the style of this home with details that have lasted over time. Choosing to visit Bay Head is for it's historical factor and this home echoes that. The vintage charm created the atmosphere we were looking for. I found the appliances in working order, the property neat and tidy and plenty of space for all of our family. The handle on the dishwasher was a problem, but the unit worked fine regardless. Arriving a day ahead than the rest, I spent the night, alone, a woman, in this home and the energy was wonderful. The neighbors were friendly and I enjoyed watching people run, bike and walk their dogs down East Avenue. This stay reminded us of our visit to Martha's Vinyard but on the Jersey Shore! We definitely intend to return and love the proximity to both the ocean and the quaint shops in town.
