Perfect Beach Cottage (Manasquan Family Shore House)

Relaxing beach retreat, 200 feet from the beach. Painstakingly restored beach cottage with all the modern amenities. Front porch to people watch, and private covered rear porch with exposed beams, wicker fan, bistro lights, and a large hardwood table. Fun loft for kids to hang out and even hook up a game system. Wonderful cedar outdoor shower to wash away the sand, and get ready for a night out to dinner at one of dozens of great restaurants. Spend your days on the beach, walking the boardwalk, fishing, or kayaking. Mansquan is the consumate family beach town, with its cute downtown shopping area, family beaches and abundant dining & nightlife.

This is the best family beach north of LBI, and the best, most comfortable house you will rent.
You will never want to leave!

* Minimum Age for Rentals is 28 Years Old unless you are a Family with Children *. BYO linens.

Lovely Spring Break Beach Trip
Had a lovely time at this Manasquan beach home. Super close to the beach, 2 playgrounds within a 2 min walk. They did. Spectacular remodel on the home and the upstairs is a cool loft play area that my kids couldn’t get over. Will def book again!

Mom’s perfect vacation
Our gift to our mom for her 75th birthday was to stay in a beach house in Manasquan. Our family had houses there for four generations, and it’s Mom’s happy place. Everything was perfect. The house, the hosts, the beach, the neighborhood, were all excellent. We had so much fun, we rebooked for next summer before our trip was even over. Thank you for an amazing vacation.

Cozy, Clean and Quiet
We came during the winter and really enjoyed the property and location. The house fit our small family very well (our kid loved the loft), the home was warm and very easy to access. I'm sure it's busier in the summer months, but definitely recommend in the off season as well!

Beautiful beach house
This was our second time staying at this home, and it has become a favorite. The location can’t be beat, just around the corner from the beach. The loft area is a unique feature and the kids love going there to play. The home is thoughtfully decorated and appointed, and has all we need to be extremely comfortable. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Great location and property!
Truly great spot within walking distance from the water. We lucked out with a spring-like November weekend and enjoyed the outdoor shower, back deck and proximity to the beach (with playground!). The house was perfect for our small kids, was organized very well for being a beach bungalow and had everything we needed for a wonderful weekend. Great communication with Mike too. Highly recommend!

The house was nicely decorated and very clean. The short walk to the beach was ideal for us. We especially enjoyed the screened in front porch. The neighborhood was very quiet and the people friendly.

Great location, good amenties
Location is nice close to beach, however noise from neighbors can be an issue (it was past midnight on the Saturday of Labor Day, and the party in the back was still going strong making it hard to sleep). House is a great set-up for such a small cottage. Overall, very clean, but having to bring our own linens for 2 nights was frustrating and made for a very full car. Other than that, we loved our stay. Would highly recommend.
