Dreaming of that perfect summer vacation for you and your family, just under one to two hours away? You're in good company with many of our clients, who look forward to their time at the Shore each summer and, more specifically, on the towns along the Barnegat Bay peninsula. Whether you're searching for access to a private, life-guarded beach, a home with a pool, or walking access to numerous shops and restaurants, we offer a range of rental homes with different highlights and price points!
Over the past couple of weeks, despite the start of the summer already, we've seen an uptick in rental inquiries and have solidified over a dozen rentals for this summer.
According to a recent NJ.com poll, one-third of vacationers hadn't started their search until late spring and many others have adopted a wait-and-see approach, experts said.
The sluggish start to the season means there are still plenty of homes available and the weaker demand is keeping rates from aggressively climbing.
Jersey Shore rental homes were in high demand during the pandemic and the two years after because people were reluctant to fly to vacation destinations and they were working remotely so they had more freedom on when and how long they could stay at the Shore.
These days, rentals in our area typically range from $2,000 to $20,000 per week. Someone looking for an average rental in the Lavallette area could expect to get a middle block, single family home with three or four bedrooms for about $5,000 per week.
Houses that are large enough for multi-generational groups, are pet-friendly and offer pools tend to book up the quickest.
If you do have the flexibility, you will have more homes to choose from if you’re willing to visit early or late in the season. And you could save significant money if you go during the shoulder months of September/October.
This all said, if you're even considering a trip to the Shore this summer, lets chat. Our team has access to many off-market listings as well, if you aren't satisfied with what you are coming across online.
