Frequently Asked Questions
Everything guests usually ask about our Point Pleasant Beach house rental.
How far is the house from the beach and Jenkinson's Boardwalk?
North beach access is a 3-minute walk, and Jenkinson's Boardwalk is 2–10 minutes on foot depending which entrance you use. You're close to everything without being on top of the crowds.
How many people can stay at this Point Pleasant Beach vacation rental?
The house sleeps up to 8 guests across 4 bedrooms: a king, two queens, and a room with two single beds — plus 2 full bathrooms.
Are beach badges included with the rental?
Yes — 4 adult beach badges are included with your stay. Additional badges can be purchased at the beach. Badges must be left at the house at checkout (lost badges cost $150 each).
Can we bring our boat or jet ski?
Yes! The house sits on Lake Louise with ocean access via Cooks Creek and the Manasquan River. Jet ski docking is available for an extra fee, and the two kayaks are free to use (a waiver is required for each paddler).
What are the summer rental terms?
During peak season (May 15 – September 30) the house rents Saturday to Saturday. Check-in is 4:00 PM and check-out is 10:00 AM. Off-season stays are more flexible — just ask.
Is there parking and EV charging?
There's free parking for two cars on the property, plus a Level 2 (J1772) EV charger available for a small per-kWh fee.
Are pets allowed at the house?
No — the home is pet-free and smoke-free, which many guests with allergies appreciate.
Is there an outdoor shower for rinsing off after the beach?
There's a footwash station in the backyard — perfect for rinsing sand off feet, boogie boards, and beach toys before heading inside. (No full outdoor shower, but both bathrooms have stand-up showers.)
Is this a good vacation rental for families with kids?
Families are a big part of our guest list — the house has board games, children's books and toys, a crib, and children's dinnerware, and infants are welcome. Because the backyard sits right on the water, children must be supervised by an adult at all times near the lake and wear swim protection when playing by the water.
What are the quiet hours and visitor rules?
Quiet hours run 10 PM to 8 AM out of respect for our neighbors in this peaceful part of Point Pleasant Beach. The house sleeps a maximum of 8 registered guests; a few daytime visitors are fine with advance permission, but parties and events aren't allowed.
Are there taxes or hidden fees when booking direct?
No — direct bookings here aren't subject to the occupancy and sales taxes that booking platforms add on top, and there's no service fee either. The rate you see at checkout is what you actually pay, which typically saves guests over $1,000 on a week-long summer stay compared to booking the same dates on Airbnb.
Why book direct instead of through Airbnb?
Same house, same hosts, same 5.0-star experience — without the platform's guest service fee (typically around 14% of your booking) and without added taxes. That's real money back in your vacation budget.
