Seaside Park Cottage
This little bungalow was at the perfect location at the entrance to Island Beach State Park. It was clean, cozy, and convenient to the Boardwalk and all the popular barrier island dining and tourist spots. We will not hesitate to come back!

Perfect cottage
We had a wonderful week at this terrific cottage by the bay. The place was immaculate and the patio area was spacious and beautiful, with a terrific outdoor shower. The owners were welcoming and warm, and available if you needed anything. The location was outstanding- a short walk to the bay and the ocean, and to the entrance of Island Beach State Park. We look forward to returning!

Great place for couple getaway!
The cottage was very clean and had everything we needed. Gail & Don greeted us at the house and were always available by phone to answer any questions about the area or help us with any issues we were having at the house. Great hosts! We hope to go again!

Perfect for Two
This cottage is absolutely perfect for two people. The owners are meticulous in the maintenance of thie cottage and the grounds. The patio area is very well kept and is for use only by occupants of the cottage. The neighborhood is quiet. Access to the bay is just down the street. The ocean is about two blocks away. And the entrance to Island Beach State Park is just down the road. This is the best place we have ever rented at the shore!

Cozy and Quiet Cottage
Hubby & I spent a week at this cozy, quiet cottage and just LOVED it! Owners Gail & Don paid attention to every detail in the cottage. It was immaculate! The property itself was well maintained and had beautiful flowers blooming in the yard. We were able to walk to/from the beach daily and each evening walked to the marina a half block away and sat watching the wind surfers! Morning walks were perfect along the marina as well. Lots of people biking, walking. We hope to rent again next year!

The perfect cottage for a couple!
This cottage met all our needs perfectly. The photographs don't capture just how beautiful, well-maintained and immaculate it is. It's located on a quiet street right near the entrance to Island Beach State Park, and a short walk from the bay (for beautiful sunsets) and the beach, in a quiet spot behind the main house. The cottage itself is the perfect size for a couple. It has a fully-equipped kitchen, where we prepared most of our meals, a dining table, and a very comfortable reclining couch. The bathroom is laid out well and has a great shower. The outside shower with hot and cold water is an extra bonus when returning from the beach covered in sand! The bedroom has a full-size bed, dresser and large closet. We were able to unpack everything and stow our suitcases, coolers, etc. in the closet. Our hosts were very welcoming and accessible for questions. They have lived in the area for a long time and have a wealth of information. The outside area has a table with and umbrella, comfortable Adirondack-style chairs, an outdoor grill and a fire pit (complete with firewood). The area is behind the main house and is quite and private. We slept soundly in this quiet corner of South Seaside Park. The AC kept is cool and comfortable. The following items were provided: Hand soap, dish detergent, dish towels and cloths, toilet paper, sheets, a bath mat, garbage bags, beach chairs, a wagon to transport beach stuff, and even bicycles with locks. Items to bring with you: Beach and bath towels, washcloths, paper towels, bath soap, shampoo. We are already planning our return to this beautiful cottage.

Wonderful, private, quiet, cozy cottage. 4 excellent restaurants within close walking distance. Sunsets on the bay just a few steps away, and the beach a half mile away. Highly recommend!

Cozy, clean and close to everything
Really cute place, well equipped kitchen, outdoor shower which we loved, nice yard. Very close to everything. Beach, bay, restaurants, park. Home owners were very nice and accommodating. They have bikes, beach chairs for your use, though we had our own. Will definitely stay here again!

Charming bungalow
Gail and Don were very considerate of our covid shyness and gave us contactless check in. They were also respectful of our privacy. The place was spotless. We brought a lot of our beach things but they had chairs, umbrellas, a beach cart and beach cruisers available. So close to Island State Beach Park that daily bike rides in were a must. Very convenient for kayaking and paddle boarding. Quiet, uncrowded beach, walk to a few different restaurants. We loved the outside shower so much we never used the inside one!
