Explore Ocean City NJ Vacation Rentals and Shore Attractions

Eight miles of beach, a two and a half mile boardwalk, and the shore towns a short drive away.

First Time in Ocean City?

Ocean City sits on an island about 15 miles south of Atlantic City. The beach runs roughly eight miles, lifeguards are on duty through the summer, and some beaches are set aside for surfing.

The boardwalk is two and a half miles of food, rides, arcades and the Music Pier. On the bay side there are boat rentals, fishing charters and water sports. Downtown on Asbury Avenue has the shops, and in spring and fall it fills up for the Block Parties.

Why Families Keep Coming Back

The Travel Channel called Ocean City the number one family beach community in the country.

Pick the Right Block

Where the house sits decides the week. Some of our homes are on the sand, some are about two minutes on foot from the boardwalk, and some are on quiet South End streets. Our locations guide lays them out.

Something for Every Age

Rides and arcades for the kids, a bike on the boardwalk first thing in the morning, mini golf after dinner, and a porch for whoever wants to sit it out.

Beach Mornings, Boardwalk Nights

Beach in the morning, lunch back at the house, then the boards once it cools off. Warm doughnuts at Brown's, caramel corn from Johnson's, a slice from Manco & Manco.

Day Trips Down the Shore

Cape May, Wildwood, Somers Point, Stone Harbor and Avalon are all close enough for a day. Our local spots page lists what we'd go for.
