Types of Rentals

Single Family

Single-family homes are free-standing residential properties that do not share walls with any other dwelling. Newer homes often feature an “upside-down” layout with 4–7 bedrooms, multiple decks, and, in many cases, pools or spas. More traditional homes typically offer a standard layout with the main living areas on the first floor. Amenities can vary widely, so we recommend connecting with our office to help you find your ideal NJ beach rental.

Townhomes

Townhomes are multi-level residences that share one or two walls with adjacent properties while maintaining private entrances. They are an excellent option for those seeking ample space at a more affordable rate than single-family homes. Many townhome rentals offer desirable beach amenities such as outdoor spaces, decks, and parking. Available in a variety of locations, including bayfront, interior, beachblock, and beachfront, townhomes provide a versatile range of options to suit your ideal lifestyle.

Condos

Condos offer a flexible and efficient rental option with a range of choices in space, location, and pricing. You’ll find everything from luxury complexes to more affordable, well-maintained units throughout Avalon and Stone Harbor. Many condos are located near shopping and downtown areas, making it easy to walk to restaurants and activities—ideal for families. Others are within walking distance to the beach. Condos are a great way to enjoy a beach vacation while staying within budget, with amenities like pools often included. Units typically range from one to four bedrooms.

Beachblock

Beachblock rentals offer a truly exceptional vacation experience, with the luxury of being just steps from the beach, no need to pack up or drive. Ideal for those who love spending time by the ocean, these homes often feature multiple decks with beautiful water views, perfect for relaxing or entertaining. From cool ocean breezes to the sound of crashing waves, the atmosphere is unmatched. Beachblock properties come in a variety of styles, including condos, townhomes, and single-family homes. Due to their prime location and limited availability, rental rates are typically higher. Contact our office to secure your ideal beachblock vacation home.

Bayfront

“Anybody can go to the beach, but you have to be invited to the bay.” Bayfront homes offer a private, scenic setting and have become increasingly popular for their relaxed waterfront lifestyle. Enjoy a variety of activities right outside your door, including boating, kayaking, paddleboarding, fishing, and swimming. Many bayfront rentals feature docks or boat slips, making them perfect for bringing your own water toys. While some of the most luxurious homes are located on the bay, availability can be limited as many owners reserve these properties for personal use. If you secure a bayfront rental, you’ll be rewarded with stunning sunset views and unforgettable waterfront experiences.

Beachfront

Beachfront properties are located directly along the beach, offering unobstructed views of the Atlantic Ocean and pristine shoreline. From vibrant sunrises to sweeping coastal views, the scenery is unmatched throughout the day. Most beachfront homes are luxury single-family properties with high-end finishes, which places them at a premium price point. However, condos and townhomes are also available for those seeking a more affordable option. These rentals are highly sought after for their unbeatable location. Contact our team to secure your ideal oceanfront vacation home and experience the best of beachfront living.

Inside Properties

Properties located toward the center of town are a great option for a beach rental. The majority of our inventory falls into this category, situated between the bay and the beach. These homes offer a convenient location with easy access to the beach, downtown, and bay activities. Options include single-family homes (such as upside-downs, Cape Cods, and ranchers), as well as townhomes, condos, and studios. Availability will depend on your preferred location, size, and desired amenities.

Upside-Down

Architecture for beach homes has certainly changed over time, continually evolving and getting better. The upside-down style layout is a very popular product of that evolution. In this style of home, the kitchen is on the second floor. Where the first floor typically includes bedrooms, living spaces, and dens. The second floor concept highlights the kitchen along with the main dining and living space. The third floor frequently features the master bedroom, and a view. 

Traditional Style

Traditional style homes feature main living areas on the first floor, offering a familiar and functional design for vacationers. Bedrooms are typically located on the same level or on an upper floor, creating a comfortable and easy flow throughout the home. These properties are a great option for families who prefer convenience and accessibility without stairs between main gathering spaces. Available in a variety of sizes and styles, traditional homes provide a classic beach house experience with all the essentials for a relaxing stay.
