I have begun accepting bookings for 2024 at my wonderful luxury waterfront home in Lavallette Borough, NJ - updated 05/18/2024 No pets (due to allergies); no groups; no smoking/vaping; no large gatherings Availability: June 8 - 15 $4300 June 15 - 22 $5700 (1st week lifeguards go on duty) August 17 - 24 $6550 Memorial Day - May 27, 2024 Labor Day - September 2, 2024 Note: lifeguards normally begin working around June 15th and end Labor Day, however, they are on duty throughout September on Saturdays and Sundays. This single family home is a larger, newer, waterfront home on a wide salt water lagoon. There is a 50ft dock in the large private backyard. The home is at the narrowest section of Lavallette so one has a very short walk to the ocean beach or you can drive there as there is free parking at the ocean block. The home is on a dead end street in a family friendly neighborhood with wonderful neighbors. The trendy Castaways Pub is located on the same street (next block) as this home. Features: - 4 bedrooms (1 king; 2 queen; 2 twin; 1 queen sofa bed) - 2.5 bathrooms - off street parking for 5 cars - large fully equipped kitchen - home elevator - large furnished garage area for entertaining - deck with patio table and natural gas BBQ grill - large private backyard with lounge chairs, benches, and picnic tables - outdoor shower with hot/cold water - tankless water heater (never run out of hot water) - upscale furniture with shore theme - many streaming music and video services included (TBA) - 4 televisions - Smart home with Alexa for intercom; music; information; telephone; control of lights, etc. - 4 beach badges included (children 12yo and younger are provided free beach access) THIS HOME IS IN LAVALLETTE. Many homes say they are in Lavallette (they lie) because they share the Lavallette postal code (and they know that Lavallette has the reputation of being one of the best locations to stay at the Jersey Shore), but they are located in smaller surrounding towns that do not have the wonderful aspects one has from being in Lavallette, e.g. larger homes that are on larger properties; small town with shops/restaurants; bay front area with Gazebo, Sunday concerts, basketball, pickleball, bocce ball, volleyball, and tennis courts; fishing/crabbing piers; a library; along with many other wonderful amenities one has no where else. THIS HOME OFFERS THE BEST JERSEY SHORE EXPERIENCE BY BEING A WATERFRONT HOME. When not staying at a waterfront, well, it's just like your normal living accommodations. At this home, one sees water from most every room and you see people involved with water activities, e.g. boating, kayaking, swimming, fishing, crabbing, etc. You should know all waterfronts are not the same either. This home is located at the narrowest section of Lavallette with a very short walk to the ocean. The walk is similar to many home located on the ocean block at Point Pleasant beach. By contrast, some waterfronts (even in Lavallette) can have up to six times the walking distance! As landlord, I strive to do more than any landlord I know to make your stay the best ever. Some things I do include: - Personally inspect the premises before each guest stay to be sure it is clean (and in a similar condition to that found by the first guest of the season) - All mattress pads are sanitized and changed before each new guest stay (most rentals do not do this - yuk!) - Personally make sure outside garbage cans are empty before each guests stay (who wants to arrive to other people's garbage) - Personally inspect and make sure bathrooms and toilets are cleaned and sanitized - Check all technology to make sure it is working (this home is a smart home with so much technology) - Check the grounds to be sure they are in good condition, e.g. provide for weed removal if necessary - The home comes with a written "manual" that explains things you might wish to know about the technology and items in each room of the house. You do not need it, but it's there if you'd like. - I let the tenant know when mailings from me go out or are received (including payments) - I provide text reminders of times to put out the garbage to the curb (there are 2 per week) - BBQ grill grates are cleaned (like new) for each new guest's stay (who wants to arrive and find yucky grill grates with someone else's old food? Not at this rental!) - And much more... Make memories to cherish in this newer waterfront single family rental home. A 2024 vacation in Lavallette can be one of those memories. Notes: 1) This property is also listed on other websites by owner where there are no NJ sales tax or fees and one can come tour the home first to see if it meets the needs of the family. 2) When booking through VRBO one is required to pay NJ sales tax and VRBO fees. 3) VRBO is very secure and you can feel safe booking here. When on other websites be careful as there can be fraud. Never wire money and it is best to meet the owner in person, however, there are other ways to be sure you are dealing with the owner of the property. Just be careful.
