About this property

The Seagull’s Nest

The Seagull’s Nest is a large Victorian-style home originally built in 1900. As experienced short-term rental hosts in Belmar, we enjoyed remodeling this home to keep the spirit of an old Jersey Shore beach house while also adding all of the modern amenities that everyone loves to see in a vacation rental. With plenty of space as well as a central location near Belmar Marina and Main Street, it is the perfect spot for a getaway with family or friends.
FIRST FLOOR:
- Large kitchen with full range of appliances, breakfast nook, and coffee station (both keurig & classic coffee pot)
- Game room featuring a 55” Smart TV, a bar with 8 barstools, an arcade machine, and several other games and activities
- Dining room with a large table and enough seats for everyone
- Living room with couches and a Smart TV / Verizon Fios cable
- Full bathroom with a tub
- Laundry / mud room at the back entrance
SECOND FLOOR:
- Master bedroom with a king size bed, workspace desk, balcony with waterfront views of the marina, large in-suite bathroom with a stand-in shower, separate tub, and double sink
- Two additional bedrooms with queen size beds
- Full bathroom with walk-in shower
THIRD FLOOR
- Former attic converted into a large bedroom space with multiple sleeping spaces
OUTSIDE:
- Huge covered front porch with plenty of patio furniture
- Second floor balcony off of the master bedroom with views of the Shark River and Belmar Marina
- Large driveway with space for multiple cars
- Grass space at the side of the yard with a BBQ grill and cornhole
EXTRAS
- WiFi with multiple access points that provide high-speed connections throughout all areas of the home
- Four beach cruiser bicycles are included in the backyard shed for your use
- Four seasonal beach badges are included
You have the entire home to yourself and will be provided a keypad entry code to the back door, where there is a private driveway.
It’s a short walk to Belmar Train Station, Main Street, Belmar Marina, or the L Street Beach and park area along Shark River.
Slightly less than one mile to ocean.
We live close by and are available if needed. We are also happy to provide any recommendations for the area
The home is in a great location not far from Main Street and a very short walk to the Belmar Marina area which has several waterfront restaurants, fishing charter boats, and other activities. However, unlike other areas of Belmar, this is a very quiet neighborhood full of year-round residents who are not used to seeing short-term rentals. We ask that you please be respectful to the privacy of our neighbors.

- Minimum age for reservations is 25 years old, no exceptions.
- Reservation requests will not be considered from profiles that have not completed the profile verification process, including uploading a government-issued IDto the platform to confirm your identity.
- THIS IS NOT A PARTY HOUSE. We are located in a quiet residential neighborhood and enforce quiet hours before 10pm. Parties or additional guests are strictly prohibited. If you are in violation of this rule, your keypad entry code will be blocked from access, and you will be asked to leave the property immediately. If you are loud or hosting many guests, our neighbors will contact the police. By booking this home, you are agreeing that you will be responsible for any fines through the town that might occur from breaking our rules. Noise violations are $250+ and there is a $265 per person fine for each number of people that exceeds the occupancy limit.

Wonderful stay/property/hosts/location

100% positive stay. Would definitely stay here again! The home/property are exactly has advertised. Clean and spacious. Wonderful for a family stay. Quiet neighborhood yet in walking distance to some restaurants (Mexican food, Cajun and more). Very short drive to whatever you need. Very clear, friendly and fast response times from the hosts. Truly not a single thing that we would criticize. Highly recommend this property & host.

Christmas at the shore

My family gathered from CT, VA and NJ to spend the holiday and it was perfect. The house was exactly how it was listed and the hosts Ryan and Kelly were great.. the house was large enough for 9 adults and 5 children under 7.. nice perk was to have linens and towels! Would definitely recommend..

A great house!

My family and I stayed for a weekend while attending a family reunion. The house was perfect and exactly as described. It was well appointed and has lots of games to keep the kiddos busy. It was clean, a nice size and just what we needed. It was so much better than staying in a hotel. I highly recommend this place!

Fantastic property, responsive owners

The house is well laid out with plenty of space for my extended family. It was very clean, and it’s lots of extra linens/pillows. There were a lot of extra and/or fun touches. A ton of games in the house- I’m talking skee ball and foozball not monopoly! I really appreciated things like extra TP and paper towels and all the lights being labeled. Very responsive and helpful owners. Close by the marina, a short walk to Main Street, and a not too long to the beach (20min?) great property very comfortable!

Family weekend

We were traveling to the area for the annual Tears Foundation walk and decided to make it a long weekend. There were 8 of us, our children and grandchildren and we were very comfortable with our stay, it was truly a home away from home. Great restaurants within walking distance, close to the marina and park for the kids to play. The house had everything needed to enjoy the weekend together. Kitchen was well equipped, games for the kids and adults and plenty of room to accommodate us. Bedrooms were comfortable and everyone slept well. I would highly recommend and we will definitely return for another stay. Great neighborhood, great location!

Family Birthday Weekend

We would stay at this location again. It fit the dynamic of our family perfectly. We utilized the kitchen to make all our meals. The dining room table sat our family of 10 without feeling crowded. We enjoyed watching a movie in the LR, hanging out in the Bar/game room, playing games and enjoying meals in the DR. Sleeping arrangements were perfect for our family. The washer/dryer came in handy.

5-Star Victorian Home

Spacious, and clean, but with a cozy-cottage appeal! Great location with off-street parking and lots of interesting features like a games room. The host was very prompt in responding to our queries and was very helpful. We totally enjoyed our stay with our small dog. We took advantage of the off-season price for this beautiful home, which during the summer months would be hard to get! I highly recommend this listing.

Ryan was an exceptional host ! Very timely in responses and reminders concerning our stay. The house is exactly as described and shown in photos. We had 6 adults and 4 children sleep comfortably. Everything you might need is at your fingertips & location is ideal. I would absolutely return and recommend this VRBO. 10/10.

About the host

Hosted by Ryan Coyle

Host profile image
I grew up at the Jersey Shore and I host multiple Airbnb listings in Belmar, where my wife Kelly and I enjoy helping guests make great memories in the town that we love. We work hard to make sure that all of our guests have a welcoming, safe, comfortable, and enjoyable experience. We have local support from cleaning crews, handymen, friends, family, and neighbors to help make sure that this happens. We are happy to answer any questions or concerns, provide recommendations for our favorite spots in the area, and help make your visit to the Shore unforgettable.

In my free time, I enjoy all that the Belmar area has to offer. Every summer, I organize a “kayak bar crawl” that visits all of the waterside bars along Belmar’s Shark River and raises money to support coastal conservation of the Jersey Shore. I am a proud member of the Friendly Sons of the Shillelagh of the Jersey Shore, an Irish-American organization that does some incredible community service work in the local area and is home to the greatest bar in Belmar! I work in New York City and I am also interested in expanding my real estate investments in the Belmar area.
