Barnegat Bay Cottage: A 'MyShoreCottage' Property
Want to take your Jersey Shore vacation experience to the next level, just steps from the beach? Stay with us at the Barnegat Bay Cottage, a 'MyShoreCottage' property.
Welcome to our beautifully updated and well-maintained property. It’s a rare find located in a secluded beach area, (South Seaside Park).
Location, Location, Location…
The cottage opened in 2022 and was fully updated and designed with comfort and efficiency in mind. We welcome you to come experience a vacation stay at the "Barnegat Bay Cottage"; the location is simply a gem!
Our property is steps away from both White Sands Beach and Barnegat Bay (1 block from each), which puts you in close proximity to the most beautiful sunrises and sunsets. We are walking distance to some of the best local restaurants, offering a wide pallet of culinary options and live entertainment, such as: Chef Mike’s Atlantic Bar and Grill, Bum Rogers, Berkley Cut, Island Beach Fish Company, Ebby’s, and Jerry’s Pizza and Subs. Our guests literally can arrive, park their car, and never move it again during their entire stay!
Want a little more to do? We are also walking distance to the Seaside Park boardwalk, which connects to the Seaside Heights Boardwalk. The boardwalks continue for miles, and provide access to mini golf, water parks, arcades, and rides; as well as a wide variety of restaurants and nightlife.
We have plenty of local aquatic attractions (i.e. boating, sailing, wind surfing, parasailing, jet skiing, kayaking, crabbing, and fishing). One cannot forget to mention the very desirable Island Beach State Park. It is only 2 blocks away and is a 10-mile stretch of pristine beachfront, full of natural wildlife and walking / biking paths, just waiting to be explored. (Bring your own bike or rent one locally.)
Want a change in scenery? Make Barnegat Bay Cottage your home base and plan some day trips during your stay, (all within 45-90 minute drive), such as: Atlantic City, Point Pleasant Aquarium, Barnegat Bay Lighthouse, Smithville, Cape May, Six Flags Great Adventure, Laurita’s Winery, Lambertville, and New Hope, just to name a few.
Visit other surrounding beach towns for an afternoon stroll, local shopping, boardwalks, or a stop for ice cream, (there are plenty of options within a 5–30-minute drive).
This is a perfect location for anyone who wants to relax in the sun and enjoy a quiet evening in the neighborhood, yet close enough to bustling activities for families and adults looking for a more active vacation destination.
Events: The surrounding towns offer several family centric events such as fireworks, concerts, movie nights, wine tastings, farmers markets, etc. Please visit the local listings for more detailed information about dates and times.

Wonderful stay
We had a great weekend getaway at the Barnegat Cottage! It was clean, had all the amenities, was a short walk to the beach, and the hosts Dean and Michelle were very generous and attentive. We definitely plan on booking here again in the future!

Extremely comfortable living space and outstanding location.
We could not have asked for a better place to stay at while enjoying an end of of summer vacation. We were able to walk to the beach and just a few steps from several very nice places to eat. We enjoyed relaxing at the townhome before heading to the boardwalks nearby for the rides and fun activities. Our experience was positive and stress free staying at the Barnegat Bay Cottage in 2022!

Beyond expectations
This rental exceeded all expectations. The attention to detail in how the house is stocked was so impressive.
Very short walk to the beach, 3 very good restaurants near by.
The best thing I could say is that on day 2 I turned on the news and realized that I was still in NJ.

Amazing Property in the Best Location! Property Description is Spot ON!
Just to give some reference I haven't been to the Jersey Shore in over thirty years. And I remember it being extremely busy in the high season so we choose to have a last-minute getaway in April. After contacting many other owners who showed available but did not respond or didn’t want to rent for under 7 days. I found this property and was very happy that Dean was very responsive to all my questions and inquiries. We booked the property very easily and quickly. Everything in the description is spot on! It is an extremely clean, renovated home. The neighbors were very friendly as well. The location can’t be beat. Just a few minutes drive to Seaside Heights if you are looking for hustle and bustle and just under 30 minutes to Point Pleasant so we could visit more family.
It was awesome to be just a few minute’s walk to the ocean and the bay and have 4 really good restaurants just around the corner. A big thank you to Dean & Michelle for allowing us to stay in this great property. We will definitely be back again!
