Winter get a way
We rented for a winner getaway, and this house was the perfect choice. It has so much charm. The house was clean and had everything you could possibly need beds were very comfortable Love the view of the lake The location is great, the beach is just two blocks away and the little town is a couple blocks away. That has a lot of great shops and restaurants. I really liked. honey berry they had a great brunch. We also went to Amelia‘s by the ocean which was so elegant food was great. Saint Catherine’s church is beautiful and the park is one of the prettiest parks ever seen. John was very nice and accommodating. my husband worked out of the house and we had the perfect getaway. The only downside was it rained a lot in March. I would definitely recommend this house it has lots of room, a very large kitchen, which I loved and dining room that overlooks the lake. Also, there is a view of the lake from other bedrooms. You can also get in the car and explore the other towns nearby and find great restaurants even off-season. Thank you John for a special stay.

Beautiful Views and Great Location
The Jersey Shore in February is different than the Jersey Shore in the summer... but just nice. My purpose for visiting was to spend time with my family and this home was perfect for that. The kitchen and dining area was big enough for me to host 13 of us for dinner and games one evening. The kitchen was stocked with everything I needed to cook. I loved the views of Wreck Pond which you could see from most rooms of the house. Sunrises and sunsets were beautiful. I enjoyed watching the swans, ducks and other bird life throughout the day. I took several short walks throughout the month to town as well as to the beach. The location is perfect! Communication with John was easy and professional and his responses to my questions or concerns was prompt. During the stay, I had one issue with a toilet lever and John had a plumber there within a couple of hours to replace it. He provided good information to all things local in Spring Lake. Check in and check out was very simple. I would highly recommend this home and John. I look forward to renting again!

Christmas in Spring Lake
My family had a wonderful time at this lovely house in Spring Lake. It has historic charm with modern conveniences. Communication with the owners was great. It's a short walk to the beach which my grandson loved. There was plenty of room for everyone to sleep and the kitchen was fully stocked with pots, pans, utensils, and dishes. It had everything we needed for cooking Christmas dinner.

Thanksgiving in Spring Lake, NJ
Location, location, location!!! This home is a few short blocks to the boardwalk. We enjoyed beautiful sunsets on Wreck Pond and daily walks/bike rides along the Jersey Shore. The very charming town of Spring Lake was also just a short walk away and unlike many Jersey Shore towns, quite alive during the off-season. The house itself was perfect for our needs and nostalgic in that it reminded us of the home we'd grown up in. There was plenty of room for our families and the beds were quite comfortable. We appreciated the large kitchen which allowed us to host some nearby relatives for Thanksgiving dinner. Basically the house had everything we might need. Hopefully someday we can experience summer here.

Perfect Location
This is a large property, perfectly located on a reasonably quiet road, across from a charming pond, and very close to the beach. For large families or groups, there are ample bedrooms and bathrooms to accommodate. During the season, the host provides for beach access and storage and bicycles for easy around town riding. On this trip--offseason, it was only my wife and I. We did not avail ourselves to all the property has to offer. I was reared in a similar community slightly south of Spring Lake. For me, this was a visit to my roots. Importantly, I was familiar with characteristics of a beach home--when closed for any period, they can be a bit musty until you can air them out. I state this to be sure the readers understand this going in. My wife was not prepared, and this took her aback. As the home aired out, the mustiness lessened, and she got over it. My communication with the host was top notch. He was immediately available and responsive before and during our stay. This clearly helps in so many ways/ The only are I did not provide 5 stars was cleanliness. Two things were at play here. First, the week proceeding ours, this area in NJ was pounded with rain. The impact was to accerbate the mustiness of the home and to give it a less than sparkling appearance. Second to this, the normal cleaning crew did not attend to the pre-check in clean. The second team did not perform as well. I'm sure the host will attend to this issue, given his attentiveness and responsiveness.

About the host

Hosted by John Kearney

Host profile image
This house is owned by 9 adult siblings who have inherited it from their parents. Two of us live in California (San Diego and San Francisco). One of us lives in Lexington KY. One lives in PA (near Scranton). One lives in Massachusetts. One lives near Albany NY. Three siblings live in NJ: Wall Twp, Essex and Morris Counties.

Why they chose this property

This house has been in our family since the 1940s. Our Aunt Sis first purchased this house as a vacation property then and moved here full time in the 1960s. Since then, generations of our family have grown up here, spent vacations here, worked in nearby businesses here and just loved it here.

When Aunt Sis passed on, our father (Sis's brother) became owner and that's when most of our generation began to bring our kids here (we are a family of 9 siblings). 'This is a great place , Dad,' said one of the young children after a day at the beach, then crabbing in the pond and riding bikes to Jean Louise's Candy Shop in town.

Bring your family and start your own traditions.

What makes this property unique

We love this place not only because of the steep family tradition, but because of its quiet beauty on Wreck Pond and the community of Spring Lake itself.
