Rented the property last minute to get away for the long weekend. Rory was very helpful and easy to communicate with. House is beautiful, very spacious, central located and well kept.

Great Experience

This is a great property for a get together! The property was very clean. The porch outside was great and had plenty of seats for everyone! The house had plenty of space for a large group. We were walking distance from the beach, so we were able to walk from the beach to the house easily. Rory was a great communicator and made sure our stay was wonderful! I would definitely book this property again in the future!

Fantastic Family Weekend

This house was absolutely perfect for my large family. It fit 14 comfortably and the location was amazing. We could walk to everything, including the beach which was the best part! Rory was very available for any questions or needs we had which is a first in our many years of renting. The outdoor decks and seating made it hard to even want to leave. The awning was the cherry on top. Extremely comfortable and certainly set up for entertaining. This house is a gem and I highly recommend it for anyone staying at the Jersey shore.

convenient...a short 2 block walk to the sand. Badges were provided. The A/C was a blessing as temps were in the high 80's all week. Bedrooms were as described and perfect for the 13 of us. Plenty of games and beach toys provided. 5 bicycles also provided, and got a lot of use. Kitchen had all the dishes and appliances we needed. Overall, a perfect family beach house.

Perfect for our family

We had a great time! We were in town for a celebration of life party that took place at the salty whale- it was the perfect location for us. Lots of beds and plenty of room. Only complaints would be lack of lighting. It was a gray and rainy weekend so everything seemed dark and there weren’t enough lights to turn on. We also brought coffee beans, hoping there would be a coffee grinder since it was listed as provided, but unfortunately it was not. Also a little disappointed that it was an additional $125 for linens to be cleaned. We paid it to have more time to visit before our departure. All in all it was a great stay and we’d highly recommend. Rory was so easy and pleasant to work with. Thank you!!

Great house and location

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house was perfect for our size party. We had 6 adults and 4 children under 12 years old. There were plenty of beds and space for all. We enjoyed using the grill and eating outdoors on the patio and enjoying a morning coffee or sunset drink on the front porch. The location is very convenient to the beach. In 5 minutes I was putting up the umbrella and sitting in my beach chair. The owner was very responsive to any questions that came up. I would highly recommend this house.

About the host

Hosted by Rory Steinel

Host profile image
We live and work near New York City. We love spending time at the New Jersey shore whenever we can. We grew up going to the Jersey shore, and wanted our family and friends to have the same special memories we have.

Why they chose this property

We were married in Manasquan and purchased the house here because we love the proximity and pace of the area. We can walk to the beach, or nearby parks. Yet we are less than a 5 minute drive to downtown where you can find shopping, live theater and all types of dining. We are within 20 minutes of an aquarium, rides, shopping outlets, golf, and horse country.
VOTED #1 - Best Beach in NJ. https://patch.com/new-jersey/manasquan/video-silver-lake-cleanup-point-pleasant-beach

What makes this property unique

We enjoy watching the sunset over the inlet from our front porch, morning walks along the Manasquan boardwalk, and strolling through town to visit our favorite places for pizza and ice cream.
