OVERVIEW A modern, clean vacation home in the heart of Point Pleasant Beach, close to both town and the beach. This luxury home can comfortably sleep 10 and features a backyard with a deck, paver patio, and lovely swimming pool (during the summer).
FIRST FLOOR MAIN LEVEL: LIVING ROOM, DINING ROOM, KITCHEN, BONUS ROOM The main level features an open architecture with what is basically a great room broken up into a kitchen, dining area, and living area. The kitchen is all set up with all the appliances, plates, glasses, silverware, etc. that most people will need. (There is also a gas barbecue grill in the back yard.). The long wood rectangular dining table seats up to 10. And the living area features two couches, four adjustable and reclining chairs, and a large flat screen smart tv with cable and all the major streaming services over the fireplace. The first floor also has a bonus room, which is set up as a TV room but has a new pullout sofa including a queen bed that can be used as a bedroom in a pinch (although there's no full bath on that floor).
SECOND FLOOR BEDROOM LEVEL: FOUR BEDROOMS The second floor features four bedrooms that can sleep 10 (one king, three queens, two single bunk beds). The master bedroom is huge and features a walk-in closet and a large master bath with an oversized tub and standup shower. The other three guest bedrooms share two full baths. Two bedrooms (both with queen beds) have a jack and jill bath between the. The other bedroom, which has a queen and two bunk beds, is next to a full bath.
THIRD FLOOR "GAME ROOM" The third floor is fully finished and furnished, totaling about 1,200 square feet but including a lot of angled ceilings that limit the usable space somewhat. The floor features what we think of as a "game room" for kids, set up with a futon, a big yugibo, and a 50-inch television hooked up two a Ninetendo Wii U gaming system along with about 10-15 games.. The TV is a smart TV with a roku system where you can access all major streaming systems, and has an HDMI expansion hookup so you can connect any additional gaming system you wish to bring. The third floor has a futon, and there are also two cots in the back area of the room that can be used in a pinch.
BACKYARD The house features an expansive fenced-in backyard the includes: a full deck with a four-chair dining table, a paver patio with seven lounge chairs and other seating, extensive plantings and landscaping, and a grassy strip if you wish to lay out on a towel right on the ground. The backyard is relatively lush for Point Pleasant beach area houses, with hydrangeas and about a dozen medium-sized crepe myrtle and birch trees that enhance privacy.
POOL The backyard also has a medium-sized pool with lots of pool toys for kids. The pool is relatively shallow, and never gets deeper than six feet, so absolutely NO DIVING, but it's fun for the kids and good for pool games. The pool is only open from June-to-mid-September, and can be heated to 82 degrees maximum.
INTERNET AND TV Besides the flatscreen in the living room, there's another large flat screen in the first floor bonus room, and small smart TVs in all the bedrooms. We also have the highest-level Xfinity high speed internet throughout the house with an Eero mesh network that generates super-fast internet connections through the whole house. We have the full Xfinity cable package with some major pay services and virtually every major cable channel, which is available on the main Living room TV through a cable box and through the other TVs through the Infinity app on the Roku.
PARKING— WITH AN ELECTRIC CAR CHARGING OUTLET We have parking for two cars, one in the garage and the other in the driveway, although you have to push stuff in the garage into a corner to fit a car in there. For those of you with a Tesla or other electric car, we have a dedicated NEMA 14-150 240v outlet in the garage for charging (you need your own cord).
PETS: DOGS ALLOWED We have dogs, so we are not averse to guests who want to bring their dogs, but we will need an extra $500 fee for cleaning per stay (the website says it's $500 per dog, but that's incorrect and we apparently can't change it). Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate cats because of allergies in the family. Other types of animals are on a case-by-case basis.
KEYLESS ACCESS We have a smart lock keypad on the front door to allow you to go keyless during your stay. You give us a personal code you want to use, and we program it into the lock and the alarm system before your stay. You get to the house, use your code, and walk in. No complicated key deliveries. You do also get two physical keys for your stay if you want them.
LOCATION The house is located perfectly between the beach and the town. We are about three blocks and a seven-minute walk (timed walking with kids and pulling a cart and wagon) from Jenkinson's beach, which is a huge beach that also features a classic Jersey Shore boardwalk with games and rides and food and all that -- one of the best boardwalks in the state. We are also a seven-minute walk the other way from the charming and eminently walkable town of Point Pleasant Beach, with great shops and restaurants. We're also a three-minute walk from the PPB train station. If you want to visit the rest of the Jersey Shore, you're well situated: 5 minutes from Bayhead, 20 minutes from Seaside Heights, and 20-30 minutes from Long Branch, Asbury, Spring Lake, etc. to the north and 30-40 minutes from LBI to the south.
If you want a day away from the beach for some kid fun, we're about a 30 minute drive from Six Flags Great Adventure and Hurricane Harbor, which has amazing rides, a great water park, and an animal safari. And if you want some adult fun, we're a 60 minute drive from Atlantic City.
HOSTS The house was new construction when we purchased it in 2013, and wasn't even rented out until 2018. It's really more our vacation home than a rental home, so we prefer tenants who will appreciate what it has to offer and will take good care of it. We will be putting some things away in an owner's closet, but will have lots of fun stuff available to you: all major and some minor kitchen appliances, pool toys, beach toys (including a cart), a barbecue grill, board games -- stuff like that. We just ask that you take care of them and leave them as you found them.

Thanks so much for your kind review. You were a wonderful guest, and we recommend you to any other owners who might consider you as a potential guest for their own homes. You did a great job taking care of our home, and we're very grateful we got the opportunity to host you. Thank you. You're welcome back anytime.
The house was well maintained and the pool area was great. Joseph was easily reachable and responded in a timely manner to my questions. My family enjoyed our stay!
This is a beautiful, large house with a great floor plan and everything you could need to have an amazing vacation. Great location (walking distance to the Boardwalk), awesome pool, televisions with all the streaming services, games, even dog bowls! Highly recommend and would definitely return!

Thanks so much for your kind review. You were delightful guests, and extraordinarily understanding when there were some hiccups in your check-in because of a prior guest. We would be honored to host you again.
Fantastic house with so many amenities to make you and your family so very comfortable and happy. The heated pool and wonderful backyard and toys were a big hit with my family. A short walk to the beach, boardwalk, and the town with its many pretty shops and abundance of restaurants. Joe, the host, was so very communicative having all sorts of info about the house and the area ready for us. Joe would check in to make sure my family of 10 were enjoying ourselves and comfortable. We hope to be back again!

Lucille, you were one of our favorite guests ever. It was a delight to host you, and you're welcome back anytime.
My family rented this beautiful property for a week during Summer 2022. It had everything we could've asked for and more, and it was a short 8 minute walk to the beach & boardwalk. The owner/property manager provided great information & recommendations in the area and was very responsive during our stay. We enjoyed our trip so much - we hope to return next year!

Beautiful home and easy walk to Point Pleasant beach
House was wonderful, specifically the well equipped kitchen. It had everything we needed for our family especially the toys and games for our grandkids. Short walk to beach and boardwalk. Pool was refreshing. Patio table area and backyard needed some cleaning up with the surrounding weeds/debris from large trees. Photo of backyard on listing not current. Owner notified.

Thank you for giving us the opportunity to host you, and for your honest review. We are glad you had a good stay, but are sorry that you found the landscaping needed cleaning up. We will address that going forward.
Fantastic house within walking distance to the beach/boardwalk and downtown. The house is uber equipped with everything the kitchen and beyond. There is plenty of room for family to spread out to work, relax and spend quality time together. Thank you for sharing your lovely home with us and we hope to be back soon

This beautiful Pt Pleasant home is a short walk to everything! The spacious home has a well-equipped kitchen and the bedrooms have very comfortable beds. Everything was clean and there are plenty of towels and beach items. Having a pool and grill was fantastic. The owners were lovely to work with and they are so organized and shared a lot of useful information. Thank you Rand Family!

Thank you so much for the kind words. You were wonderful guests, and we were lucky to host you. We appreciate the care you took of our home, especially doing some odd jobs around the house! Please come back and join us again. :)
The home was fully stocked with all necessities including many organic foods & spices. It surpassed our expectations. The homeowner was on top of everything and maintenance. We were there for 3 weeks and highly recommend to anyone especially those with large families. The website does it no justice we booked without seeing the property. It was so much roomier and comfortable than what was described.

Thank you so much for your kind review. You were among the best guests we ever hosted, especially accommodating for some furniture deliveries we had to schedule during your stay. You took wonderful care of our home, and we would be delighted to host you again.
This property and VRBO experience has been the best out of all the places we have stayed. The communication before, during and after was great and helped make the stay even better. The property was spacious for our family of 10 and the layout was great for kids that wanted extra space on the 3rd floor. After the beach, we would come back and enjoy the pool. It’s an easy walk to the beach and boardwalk too. One great feature is you don’t need to bring towels, bedding or beach gear - it’s included with the house. Great property, great hosts and great time. Thank you!!

Jacki, thank you for the kind words, we truly appreciate them. We were delighted to host you. You were a wonderful guest and we would be honored to have you back.
We were able to stay in this beautiful beach home in Point Pleasant for a week to spend quality time with extended family from out of state. The owners friendliness and communication was one of the best things about this rental. They were easy to reach and well organized with relaying the details about our stay. The property easily accommodated the 4 couples and kids from our family for the week. The layout of the home was perfect for our children and the outdoor space was the perfect little oasis to make our vacation relaxing. I would definitely rent this property again if we are able to visit Point Pleasant in the future.

What our guest doesn’t say is that we had a small pool equipment issue during her stay, and that she was absolutely wonderful in letting us know about it to get it fixed quickly. More importantly, she didn’t allow the inconvenience it to mar her stay.. She was a delightful guest and we would recommend her to any homeowner in VRBO. We would be honored to host her again.
House has plenty of room. Pool was great. Used grill every night. Extra refrigerator in garage was extremely helpful. We were worried about parkimg for 5 cars but it was a non issue. Was able to park right in fromt of the house. Close to beach and jenkinsons boardwalk.

Thanks so much for your kind review. We were delighted to host you. I’m glad the girl less sufficient for your needs, because I know how important that was for you. Thanks again for staying at our vacation home.
We stayed a week and can't wait to come back. 6 adults and 6 kids fit more than comfortably in this great house! Even before booking, the owner was very responsive and informative. This continued until the end of trip. The house includes so many amenities we definitely over packed, even with bringing our 6 month old. It's a great location less than a 10 minute walk from the beach and central to shops and restaurants. You won't be be disappointed with this luxury home away from home!

It was an honor to host you and your entire group for the week. Thank you for your kind and detailed review. You were all great guests and we would be delighted to have you back.
There is not enough positive words to tell about this property. Beautiful home with more than enough room for the 6 of us and our 2 small dogs to spread out. The pool was a bonus along with the 3rd floor room for the kids to hang out. We were able to walk to the boardwalk and town. Finally our hosts Joe and Linie. Joe was extremely responsive if we had any questions and contacted us during the week to be sure we didn't need anything. Our grandkids said this was our best vacation and our family has done many beach vacations together.

It was delightful having Mary and her family as guests. They couldn't have been nicer, or taken better care of our home, and we would be honored to host them again.
My husband and I travel a Lot and will happily say this location has turned out to be one of our favorites. The house itself is beautiful, spacious, and perfectly located close to the beach, as well as to town. Joe and Linie as hosts are phenomenal. Every detail about the functionality of the house, local activities, and attractions is given in a guide. They leave nothing out in their very thorough introduction to the house and town. We found it extremely helpful and only wish more hosts were this attentive to detail.
Joe and Linie were very helpful with accommodating our move in needs. We found them to be very understanding, easy to communicate with, and were always quick to respond.
Trevor and I have enjoyed our stay completely and would highly recommend this location to any future guests seeking to stay in the Point Pleasant Beach area.

Thanks so much for your kind review. Your family were wonderful guests, and we are delighted we could accommodate you. Please come back anytime.
This spacious home is within walking distance to the Point Pleasant boardwalk and beach. Just about everything is within a 10 minute walk. The house is unbelievably well-equipped with everything one would need for the beach, including towels, beach chairs, umbrellas, and a sturdy cart that our 2 grandchildren rode in to go back and forth to the beach. The house is enormous, with plenty of sleeping space and areas for the children to play. And, speaking of children, there were a zillion stuffed animals and games. Out back, in the fenced in yard, is a heated pool and tons of pool inflatables and toys. Our dogs were able to wander around back there without fear of escaping. The hosts, Joseph and Linie, were extremely responsive and accommodating.Their instructions for the home and surrounding areas were the most comprehensive we have seen.
Great vacation! Great time! Great hosts!

Fabulous house and pool
We loved staying here! The owners are super nice and very responsive. The house is nearly new, very spacious, nicely decorated, and comfortable with plenty of seating in the living room and dining area. The kitchen is modern and well equipped. We enjoyed using the beautiful, heated pool every day. The owners left pool toys for our kids to use, including basketball and net, which provided hours of fun for our teens. The master bedroom suite of the house is enormous. All the beds were really comfortable. The location was perfect for us - close enough to walk to the beach, Jenkinsons' boardwalk and miniature golf but not too busy or loud. The owners provided plenty of beach chairs and a cart for us to use as well. The only small issue we had was trying to figure out the TVs and the various remotes in the house (the owner LOVES technology!) Fortunately, we were traveling with teenagers and they knew what to do. (In fairness, the owners do leave detailed instructions for everything.) Putting our digital fears aside, we had a wonderful time and would certainly return again. Five stars!

Thank you so much for the kind words. Yeah, Joe is a technophile, so we have a lot of remotes in the house. We'll try to simplify things going forward. :)
Glad you had a great time. You were fantastic guests, we'd love to have you again next summer.
We can’t say enough good things about our stay at this property! It felt like we were in our own home—but better! The house was not only very clean and spacious, but had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. The pool was hands down the best part. It was so nice and bonus—heated! The location of this home was ideal. Not just 5 min walk to the Boardwalk and shopping. We will definitely be back!
We had an excellent stay at this lovely house in Point Pleasant only blocks from the beach! Hosts were easily accessible for any questions. Hope to stay again in the future!
This rental couldn't be more accommodating. Everything you need is here, pool, bikes, beach stuff, sheets, towels, board games.....
If you can walk there is lots within 1 mile.
Property owner is very communicative. We had a great time

The property was amazing. Wide open kitchen, a TV that looked like a piece of art, sonos sound system throughout the house, and a heated pool. My friends and I stayed for a week and it was a blast. The best part was the beach was within 10 minutes of walking from the house! Thanks!

About the host
Hosted by Joseph Rand
We are a family of four (mom, dad, two kids) who own this vacation home, which we purchased as new construction in 2012. We only rent it when we're not planning on using it.
Why they chose this property
This is a great vacation home: modern open feel, luxury accommodations, great pool and backyard, and a short walk to either the beach or town.
What makes this property unique
We love this house, and hope you love it as much as we do. We've been lucky to have amazing guests for the past few years that we've been hosting, and we try to create the kind of experience you would have if you were staying at a friend's house, not a rental property. This is truly our second home, and we furnish, equip, and treat it that way.
