What happens if I have to cancel my reservation?

There is a no-cancellation policy, meaning if we are unable to re-rent your rental home under the same terms & conditions, your reservation payment(s) will be forfeited. If we are able to re-rent under the same terms & conditions, you will receive a refund of monies paid minus a 10% cancellation fee.

We recommend you consider adding TRAVEL INSURANCE, it is affordable and can protect your vacation investment. Visit www.insuremytrip.com for more information and prices on adding Travel Insurance.

Are any of your houses pet-friendly?

Unfortunately, we do not have any pet-friendly homes. The community homeowner associations do not allow renters to have pets. This does not mean all of our homes are pet free, as homeowners are allowed to bring their pets. If you have a pet allergy please mention that prior to booking and we will check if the home is pet free.

What is included in the house?

Rental homes are equipped with dishes, glassware, flatware, pots & pans for the kitchen, along with a coffee maker, blender, and toaster. A bbq gas grill and patio furniture are provided at each home unless otherwise noted. Linens may not be included but can be added on through our linen service. Pillows & blankets are included.

How does the security deposit work?

The security deposit is a refundable fee that helps protect the homeowner from costs associated with accidental damage. This fee is due with your final payment and is usually refunded back to you within 3-4 weeks. Some houses offer a “Peace of Mind” fee in lieu of the security deposit which costs $50 and is not refundable. 

Beach Communities

Our rental homes are located between Lavallette and Chadwick Beach (about 15 minutes from the Seaside or Point Pleasant Boardwalks). We rent homes in Ocean Beach I, II and III, Ocean Beach Shores, Monterey Beach, Seacrest Beach and Rutherford Beach.
