Welcome to “Shore to Relax – Upper”! This stunning four-bedroom, two-bathroom beachfront retreat delivers the very best of coastal living with all the comforts of home.

Located just a few blocks from the vibrant downtown Boardwalk, you’ll have easy access to family-friendly attractions, local eateries, and entertainment—all while enjoying the peace and relaxation of your own beachfront escape.

Step inside to a beautifully designed coastal-chic space, flooded with natural light and styled for relaxation. The open-concept living area features a plush sectional sofa with a queen sleeper—perfect for movie nights or extra guests. The kitchen is a chef’s delight, with solid-surface countertops, a sleek glass tile backsplash, and stainless-steel appliances. A spacious dining table with bench seating makes it easy to gather for family meals, board games, or a quick snack before heading down to the pool.

The bedrooms are thoughtfully arranged to maximize comfort. The primary bedroom offers a king bed and access to a private deck overlooking the quiet street—ideal for morning coffee in the salty breeze. A second king bedroom includes convenient Jack-and-Jill bathroom access, while a third king bedroom features lovely ocean views. The fourth bedroom is perfect for kids or extra guests, offering a queen bed plus a twin bunk set. Each bedroom is equipped with its own TV, allowing everyone to unwind with their favorite shows.

Outside, beachside relaxation awaits. Grandparents will love rocking on the front porch as they watch the little ones splash in the pool. Fire up the gas grill for an evening barbecue, then gather around the one-of-a-kind firepit to roast marshmallows and share stories under the stars. After a day in the sun, rinse off in the enclosed outdoor shower before heading inside to relax.
