4 Reasons Why Shore Vacation Rentals Offer More Value Than B&Bs, Hotels, And Other Lodging
When you’re looking for a place to stay for your summer vacation in Belmar, New Jersey, private homes for rent by owner (i.e., vacation rentals) are a great alternative to bed and breakfasts, motor lodges, and motels.
At our Belmar beach house rental, for example, you get a whole two-bedroom house with a full kitchen, living room, and dining room for about the same price of a single room in a B&B, hotel, or inn.
1. Vacation rentals offer more space and privacy.
Renting a whole house for your Jersey Shore vacation stay gives you more square footage to enjoy than a small guest room in other types of lodging. For example, at our Belmar vacation rental, you'll find:
A modern kitchen with granite that has everything you need to prepare meals and cook on the grill.
A sunny dining area adjoining the kitchen, with screen doors that slide open onto your own private deck.
A comfortably furnished living room with flat-screen high-definition TV, DVD player, and selection of movies, games, and books.
Two bedrooms furnished with antiques, each sleeping two people in beds (sheets included), and a flat-screen TV in the master bedroom.
An updated, exceptionally clean bathroom with a full bathtub and shower, as well as built-in storage and a granite-topped vanity (bath towels included).
A spacious deck with plenty of seating for dining and relaxing outside, along with gorgeous garden views.
Free high-speed wireless internet.
Central air conditioning and ceiling fans throughout.
Weber grill with grilling tools.
Outdoor shower tower for rinsing off after the beach.

2. Prepare your own meals and save on the cost of dining out.
While B&Bs provide you with a morning meal or continental breakfast to start your day, you’re on your own for lunch, dinner, and snacks. The cost of dining out every night can quickly add up. When you rent a whole house, however, you'll have a full kitchen at your disposal for cooking meals.
At our beach house rental, for example, you’ll find a spacious cook's kitchen and a Weber propane grill. Guests frequently compliment us on how well stocked our kitchen is. Our numerous kitchen amenities include:
GE Profile gas range with convection oven
Built-in microwave over the stove
Dishwasher with detergent
Keurig, drip coffee maker, French press, coffee bean grinder, and electric tea kettle
Henckels knife block
All-Clad stainless steel pots and pans, cooking utensils, and grilling tools
Dishes, flatware, Pyrex, and a variety of glassware
Toaster and toaster oven
Blender, stick blender, and hand mixer
Cuisinart panini press/griddle
Slow cooker
Sponges, dish towels, and dish soap
Basic pantry items: S&P, food wraps and foil, trash bags, and cleaning supplies

3. Enjoy extra amenities and conveniences at a beach house rental.

In addition, while many inns prefer adult guests only, our Belmar vacation has numerous family-friendly amenities for your convenience if you’re traveling with little ones:
A Graco pack and play
Feeding seat
Lightweight fold-up stroller
Diaper-changing pad
Bjorn baby bathtub and potty seat
Portable beach play yard

Sand toys and boogie boards
3. Personalized service and attention to detail.
At our Belmar vacation rental, the owner is easily accessible to answer questions, provide directions or restaurant recommendations, or assist with anything you need during your stay.
We also have a comprehensive guest book that provides helpful information about our home, local grocery stores, seasonal summer events, and more. In addition, we provide a variety of restaurant menus and tourism brochures for area attractions. RELATED: Read Our Five-Star Reviews RELATED: Dining In Belmar
4. Get more value for a longer stay.
One major difference between vacation rentals and other types of lodging and accommodations at the Jersey Shore is the required minimum stay. While inns and hotels might be more suitable for a night or two, renting a whole house can be more economical if you are planning a one- or two-week summer vacation, or if you are looking for a partial-week stay of three nights or more.
