About this property

Two blocks from the beach, a timeless "Bay Header" close to the downtown shops

Please read thru the entire description of the house. If you are interested in booking press the blue "Contact Host" prompt to initiate a conversation (please DO NOT "Request to Book")

This spacious, light-filled, serene and uncluttered, cedar-shingled, classic "Bay Header" is located in the heart of Bay Head. Walking distance to everything Bay Head has to offer, it's a great house for a multi generation family; Grandparents, parents, teenagers, babies - there is something for everyone! (we realize our 4-legged friends are part of the family but please know that our No-Pet policy is firm)

The Bridge Ave beach is a quick two block walk (especially handy with young children, or when the weather suddenly turns). Mueller's Bakery, Taylor Sam’s (formerly Dune Grass Cafe). Twilight Lake, the Cheese & Wine Shop, Burke’s Market, restaurants, shops, pickle ball/tennis courts, kids’ playground - they are all right there. And the NJ Transit train station with service to NYC is a just on the other side of the lake, a short walk away

The main floor has wonderful communal space with its open floor plan with a Dining/Living Room, an eat-in Kitchen, and a half bath. Doors at either end of the house open onto the wrap-around porch. Kitchen slider opens onto a separate porch which has an outdoor shower, a lovely view of the channel and the sunset. The only lawn is what you see in the picture, it is now fenced in.

The second floor has plenty of privacy with three full bathrooms and five bedrooms (1 King, 1 Queen, 1 Full, and 2 bedrooms with 2 Twin beds each)

Guests must bring their own bedding (sheets, blankets, bedspreads) and towels (bath and beach). We provide bed pillows (if you don't want to bring bedding and towels from home there are companies on-line who deliver and pick-up)

The house has no laundry facilities but complimentary "Wash & Fold" laundry service is provided which includes pickup and delivery, often the same day.

We have 2-zone Central AC plus ceiling fans in every bedroom. Utilities, wireless internet and Cable TV are included, as well as 6 beach badges (required for 12 years and older)

We have a 7-night minimum from Memorial Day thru Labor Day.

Check-IN Friday at 5:00pm, Check-OUT Friday at 12noon.

And again, although we love them, our No-Pet policy is firm, so please don't ask.
Thank you
