Long-Term Summer Rentals In Northern Ocean County Becoming Less Common These Days

For decades, it was not uncommon for families to rent Jersey Shore homes for weeks at a time during the summer months.

But things have changed. Now it's primarily millennials looking for a place to stay. And they often go online to Airbnb to book a home for a weekend, not for weeks, according to the Ocean Star.

“We don’t get any two- week rentals anymore,” said Patrick English, sales associate at Berkshire Hathaway, on Ocean Avenue. “There are no more family requests for two-week rentals. There are requests for weekly rentals but there are a lot of requests for weekend rentals,” he said.

Visitors often turn to Airbnb to find a place, rather than contacting real estate owners. The website helps homeowners rent out rooms or homes online.

Airbnb has quite a price range in Point Pleasant Beach listings, ranging from $50 a night to over $1,000 for a home with a private beach.
