About this property

Light, Bright & Airy Ranch 3 Houses from the Beach & Boardwalk

With its cathedral ceiling and skylights, this well-kept beach bungalow offers ranch-style living, all on one floor, with just a single step into the entrance. Only three houses away, through the private gate, is the mile long, newly renovated Jenkinson’s Boardwalk, spanning the coastline, and running parallel to the most pristine wide stretch of white sand beach - raked and cleaned daily.
Situated on a dead-end lane, with a mixture of year-round residents and renters, "Beachcomber Lane" is perhaps the most desirable lane nearest the beach. Despite being narrow, it is one of the few lanes wide enough to drive a car down to unload luggage and groceries, and one of the few to offer both private parking (rare!) and private access to the beach and boardwalk via its own private gate. (Please note: this rental includes four beach badges and a designated parking space for one car.) Beachcomber Lane is also situated at the halfway point, sandwiched between the boardwalk and the Inlet. Turn right and walk to Jenkinson’s Boardwalk, with its lively games, rides, bars, shops, food, mini-golf, and the Jenkinson Aquarium. Turn left and discover the quieter "Inlet", where you can watch the boats come in, relax at the Tiki Bar with a beer and pizza, and listen to the sounds of acoustic music. It's your choice: join the crowds or escape for a bit - the easy access let’s you take advantage of everything Point Pleasant Beach has to offer.

Everything is within easy walking distance from this convenient beach house. There are party fishing boats, bike rentals, and lots of terrific bars and restaurants nearby. It's a short drive to Point Pleasant's charming downtown, or a nice long flat walk, if you desire. You’ll pass the train station...or hop aboard! Local stops (about 20 minutes) include the uber-hip town of Red Bank and live entertainment at The Count Basie Theater, or, if you're feeling lucky, visit beautiful Monmouth Park Racetrack - it's a great way to spend an afternoon! Downtown, you'll find antique emporiums with collectibles that will appeal to both serious buyers and browsers alike, trendy boutiques for young and old, consignment shops, home decor and, of course, lots of local souvenirs. Sprinkled throughout the downtown are Portuguese, Italian, Chinese, American, Sushi and Seafood restaurants, as well as gourmet delis, bagel shops, and great places to grab breakfast, lunch or a coffee. At night, take in a headliner comedy show, share a pitcher of sangria and a dance, or grab a hamburger and fries...all within the downtown.

Wanna drive a little further? 'Premium Outlets', less than 15 minutes away, includes stores such as Coach, Uggs, J.Crew, Adidas, Michael Kors, and more. And Atlantic City with its casinos, and top-name entertainment is about a sixty minute ride.

Following the heartbreak of Hurricane Sandy, this house underwent proper remediation, with total clean-up, treatment, and a major renovation in 2013. (Please note: The house is now smoke-free and absolutely no pets are allowed.) The cheery interior has a full kitchen, living room, three bedrooms, a full laundry room and a powerful "full house" a/c unit, plus cable TV, Wifi, a stereo and DVD player.

Bedroom #1 has a full size bed and closet. Bedroom #2 has a full size mattress and a TV. Bedroom #3 offers a full size bed. There are two full-size leather sofas in the living room. The fully equipped kitchen has a table & chairs, new granite countertops, new ivory cabinets with 'soft close' drawers, a refrigerator, microwave, blender, toaster, coffee pot, plus all the dishes, pots, pans and utensils you'll need. The beautifully tiled bathroom has a large walk-in shower (no tub), and for your convenience, a separate laundry room provides a full size washer and dryer plus an additional hanging rod for your clothing. Although outside space is limited, there is a gas grill for barbecuing, and an outdoor table & chair set that we share with our next-door neighbors.

So, come! Bring your family...kick back and relax! Enjoy a great vacation at Point Pleasant Beach, where there's truly something for everyone!

Great Little Beach Cottage!
Our family had a great time at this property! Perfect location—so close to the beach, rides and games at the boardwalk, and restaurants. Nights were nice and quiet and neighbors were friendly. Bob, the host was also great. He was very easy to communicate with and responsive to questions. Would definitely recommend!

Cleaning service ?
Let me first start by saying that I have rented numerous properties from VRBO. This was the first time that I had to send the property owner a $400 check. I received $370 back. His reason. We did not make 2 of the 3 bedrooms and did not take out the kitchen garbage. I explained that every other renter tells us to leave the beds we slept in undone so that the cleaning crew knows what beds to make. Owner tells me that the property is to be left the way we found it. Be aware, you will be sleeping in beds made by the previous renters. How much and what is he paying his “cleaning crew” to do ? I know that I at least paid them $30.

Nice beach vacation
Great location for a family vacation the beach. The home was very clean and comfortable. I would say it is best suited for 6 adults only if they are couples. It did get a little close for my two grown sons to share space in a room but they still enjoyed themselves. Great location to the beach. Off the boardwalk but far enough away from the hustle and bustle of the main drag. Short walk to the beach made it easy for everyone to come and go as they please. Bob was a great host and very helpful. Parking seemed to be a very sensitive issue with the neighbors. Overall a very nice trip!

Great place to stay-- clean and comfortable. Location was great, on an adorable private lane, 3 houses from the Boardwalk. Walking distance to the Aquarium and Amusements. Kids loved being able to walk to Donut shop and Deli in the mornings. Owner, Bob was helpful from beginning to end. Would definitely stay here again!

Great place right next to the boardwalk/beach
Loved the area and the house and definitely appreciated Bob being there for everything we needed. Since we booked it Bob called and introduced himself and then gave me tips about the place and beach restaurants etc. highly recommend and would def use again in the future. I traveled with two little ones and they loved the trip.

Happy
We are very happy with our stay here. Bob is very friendly and was always available to answer any and all questions. The property was exactly as described with a home away from home feel. Very close to boardwalk and beach and a very nice little stroll to all amenities. Neighbors were very friendly and welcoming. Parking is reasonably close. I would definitely recommend staying here!

Pleasant experience
This property has everything you could want and is in a great location. Parking for that area can be tricky but the space provided was sufficient. When we got there we though that the area (very small) in between the houses was a place that we could leave our stroller and sand toys but it ended up being the neighbors parking spot! Just be advised not to leave anything in there. The area is gated and locked so we felt very safe. Bob made our stay so easy and we will definitely be booking again!

Location Was Amazing!
My family and I had a wonderful week at Bob & Sheryl's beach house. The house contained everything we needed for cooking when we wanted to. Only steps to the boardwalk, yet located at the quiet end of town. Bob was very easy to contact when we had a question.

the best beach house!!!
Absolutely LOVED this beach house. Everything about our vacation was perfect and it all started with this house. It is 3 houses from the beach, and with three small kids and lots of beach gear, it couldn't have gotten any easier traveling to/from the beach. It's a super quiet street and also super close to all of the great attractions in Pt Pleasant. Excellent places to eat nearby too, thanks to the recommendations from the owner. The house has everything you need. We will definitely be back again! My kids made memories that they will remember forever. Thank you Bob and Sheri!

Amazing vacation week
Just returned from a week at this beach house and couldn't be happier. The house is spotless, well maintained and extremely comfortable. Just steps from the boardwalk but quiet and peaceful on this little street. Everything was just perfect! Saw the fireworks right outside the house. We will definitely come back! Thank you Bob and Sheryl, it was great meeting!

Lovely Beach House!
I Couldn't resist adding to my review because I can't get over the fact that when we got home my daughter couldn't find a jacket of hers. She was so upset about this jacket and wondered if she in fact had left it at the beach house! Well I asked Bob if anyone had found it. They looked into it for us and within days the cleaning woman had found it AND RETURNED IT TO MY DAUGHTER BY MAIL!! We could not be happier with that. How many times have you ever gone to a hotel and forgotten something there to have it found and mailed back??!! Never I'm sure. How refreshing an experience it was for me

Wonderful Beach House!!
Great stay in this Beach House! My family and I loved it so much we stayed here last year and then again this year! When booking it again we all agreed we wanted to stay in this house because its very Beachy! Its open and cheerful. Bob and Sherry are very hospitable. The street is private clean and open. Great location in relation to boardwalk and rides...Its a bit quieter after a full noisey day at beach and rides...when tidying up or just putting on a pot of coffee makes you happy in this beach house, you know its a home run!

About the host

Hosted by Robert Verrilli

Host profile image
Bob and Sheri graduated high school together, and have been happily married for 40 years. Their combined eclectic careers and positions include electrical engineer, dance instructor, owners/directors of a community theatre, published playwright, and positions within the airlines, and travel industry. With two grown children, and young grandchildren, when not enjoying the beach with their family, Bob and Sheri enjoy traveling, music, concerts, hiking, exploring NYC, making their own wine, and living on their small hobby farm in the country with their four goats, ten chickens, four turkeys, a pony, and Charlie, their dog.

Why they chose this property

We rented this house ourselves for 18 years from the original owners who were our friends. Each year, we'd come with our children, parents, family, and friends, and make such wonderful memories that the place always felt like our second home. As such, it was a happy coincidence that one year during our stay, we discovered that the house was for sale. With its fabulous location and comfortable layout, and knowing the pride and care our friends had always taken in their home, our desire to buy it was a no-brainer. Of course, we then had to beg, borrow and steal to make our dream come true, but somehow (we still don't know how), we did it!
And then came Sandy...
The storm's devastation was as horrific (even more so) than everything you'd heard and seen, yet, amidst the tears, the endless help and incredible generosity of volunteers, both young and old - many being strangers we had never met - it renewed our faith in humanity.

It took a year of repairs and remediation before this little vacation house was ours again. To say that we felt truly blessed is an understatement. We are so grateful to the lovely people that we continue to meet and communicate with, including you...our wonderful renters! We hope that you will make our home your home during your stay, and create your own magical memories here at our favorite beach house with your own family!

What makes this property unique

1. Waking up, throwing on a pair of sweats and walking to the Inlet with a cup of coffee to watch the boats go out in the morning.
2. Knowing that you have at least one parking space when all the parking lots around are full.
3. Leaving your chairs and stuff on the beach and running home to go to the bathroom or grab a drink.
4. Walking up to the boardwalk with your kids in their jammies to watch the fireworks at night.
5. Holding hands and walking on the beach!
