Perfect stay!

We went for a quick stay during the week! My husband and I had plenty of space and the location was excellent! The house is exactly as advertised and could be great for families or groups of friends. Very close to the beach and the bay, lots of activities, the boardwalk, and places to eat. We’ll definitely be back!

Perfect Spot

House was clean, well stocked, and good location just far enough away from all of the summer craziness when trying to relax, but close enough to walk to or ride a bike to. Directly across the street is a nice park to get some great sunset pics and let the kids run around. Definitley recommend and would stay at again.

Great stay

The Blissful Bayside Retreat was a nice and comfortable house for my family of 8. It is located in a quiet neighborhood, only a 10 minute walk to the beach and steps away from the bay. The kitchen has everything you need to cook a meal. Beds were very comfortable, cable tv and great shower. Alyssa responded very quickly to all of my questions. Overall, we loved our stay and highly recommend it.

Great Experience

Loved the house. Very clean and everything worked fine. We had a great Fathers Day weekend. Really enjoyed the sunset on the Bay - great view from the house and the patio outback was awesome to hang out on. Loved taking outdoor showers.

Wonderful Property for a family! Beautiful Sunsets from front yard!

We love staying in this home. So comfortable for a family, outside shower, 2 sitting areas with TV (loft has half a bath). The kitchen is well equipped with everything you need. Streets are wide so bike riding is easy. Parking lot for beach is definitely a perk, and park across the street from house is too! You will LOVE it here! We will be returning next year again!

Seaside Retreat that is Perfect!

We love this seaside retreat across the street from the bay to see the sunset every night and a park for the little ones! Just a short walk to the beach with crossing guard (about 3 blocks) or you can drive and park in lot at Ortley Beach area. This gem is equipped with everything you need including beach chairs!. Inside is beautifully decorated and comfortable too! We enjoy the deck between house and garage - We will be back again next year! Thanks so much!

Perfect stay for our family

I have rented properties from several owners in the area and this one was the best for several reasons: the house is updated; the owner provided linens, towels, paper goods, some toiletries, beach items, badges and cleaning supplies; comfortable layout and room sizes; loft area for my teen and his friends; and the location was quiet and convenient. Boys walked to everything including Seaside boardwalk. Owner communication was effortless. Highly recommend this house and Alyssa, the owner.

Blissful Vacation

This was the perfect house for our vacation! Sometimes you find that the pictures make a home look much bigger than it is. However, I found that to be the opposite with this home - it was very spacious! All 3 bedrooms have a lot of space and the upstairs room is larger than appeared in the photos. The home was clean, updated, and well-equipped with amenities. It was nice to not have to worry about bringing towels, linens, and beach chairs! Although on the bay side, I found the location very convenient. It was an easy walk to the beach and close to the grocery store. Alyssa was a wonderful host! Thank you for sharing your beach home with us!

Perfect in every way

I’ve been using VRBO and other online vacation rental agents for a dozen years. This is by far the most well-equipped and most comfortable home I’ve rented. We have barely needed a single thing that we didn’t find right here in the house. The furniture is clean and cosy, as are the beds, with plenty of extra blankets and linens available. In addition the host has been so very accommodating, answering questions within minutes and allowing us to extend our stay. I couldn’t have dreamed up a more perfect stay.

Beautiful Property

I have been coming to Ortley for 35 years and my family for more. The hosts had a lovely place with good parking and storage for our bikes, SUP, and beach items. Right across from the park with swings and a tennis court. My children loved it. Walked to the boardwalk (about a mile and a half) easy walk. We will definitely consider this property again in the future.

Plenty of Room for Families - 1.5 Baths, Great Deck & Location

We love staying in this wonderful CLEAN family home! There is plenty of room to spread out and it includes 1.5 bathrooms and an additional outside shower! We enjoy this area of Ortley Beach - Sunsets every night across the street and a great park for kids and adults (tennis/pickleball courts)! Short walk to the beach with parking if you don't want to walk.

Perfect Spring Break Trip

My family of four rented this beautiful cottage for a quick spring break trip. We couldn't have been happier. The home is a corner property in a quiet location, yet convenient to everything. Beautiful Sunsets over the bay can be seen from the front windows. There's a park (with benches overlooking the bay across the street), basketball courts, tennis courts, all within 1 block walk. The home was in immaculate condition upon arrival. Very clean and neat. Wonderfully decorated. Each bedroom is surprisingly roomy, and the loft is perfect for a teen who wants their own space. The hosts were outstanding, very accommodating and readily available to help with any needs. The small gift basket and personalized welcome card upon arrival is a touch of class (I won't reveal the contents here and ruin the surprises) Just an overall fantastic experience. Would love to come back! Mike
