Right at the water's edge, our 1st-floor bayfront home puts you steps from a quiet Reeds Beach and the Delaware Bay. This cozy, ground-level 3BR sleeps up to 6 — perfect for a family or small group — with your own deck, an outdoor shower to rinse off after the beach, and the soothing sound of the bay just beyond the bulkhead.

Welcome to our ground-floor bayfront home in the hidden gem of Reeds Beach. Step right out to a quiet stretch of beach and the Delaware Bay — you'll hear the waves against the bulkhead from your own deck. It's an easy, relaxed, water's-edge setup, ideal for a family or small group of up to 6. The open-concept kitchen and living room make for comfortable gathering, with a 55" smart TV and high-speed internet. Each of the three bedrooms is comfortably furnished for a restful night, and the home is kept comfortable year-round with quiet, efficient mini-split AC and heat you can control room by room.

Outside, you'll find your own deck right on the water, an outdoor shower to rinse off after a beach day, and off-street parking for 2–3 vehicles. Just steps from the door, a quiet section of Reeds Beach sits within an expansive nature preserve — keep an eye out for dolphins, migratory birds, diamondback terrapins, and horseshoe crabs through the seasons.

Other things to note:

This listing is for the 1st floor of our duplex. If you need more space, we also rent the entire home — see our listing "Large Bayfront Home Perfect for Multiple Families."
Our home is over 130 years old, full of the character and charm that comes with a historic bay house. We've thoughtfully updated it for comfort, but like any home of its age, it has a few endearing quirks from time to time — all part of the experience of staying somewhere with real history.

Because we're nestled in a protected nature preserve, you'll occasionally encounter insects — it comes with being this close to unspoiled nature. We keep up a monthly professional pest-control service and provide insect-deterrent candles and devices, but some bugs are simply unavoidable in such a setting, so we recommend bringing bug spray for outdoor evenings.

***Our on-site fishing pier is currently closed for the season and will reopen after Labor Day, as township rules restrict construction work during the summer months. In the meantime, you can fish right from the beach just steps from the home — Striper, Flounder, and Weakfish are common catches from the sand.***

The beach next to the property has seasonally restricted access from May 7 to June 7 for the horseshoe crab mating season — an incredible sight to witness from the deck.
