What’s summer without a stay by the beach in a beautiful home away from home? I love staying at any great hotel, but over the last few years my husband and I have opted to stay in homes we find on VRBO. Whether we were staying in London, Buenos Aires, Cape Cod or for a staycation at the Jersey Shore, we always like the coziness of a place that feels like home. Enter Oasis By the Sea! This exquisite and well-appointed Jersey Shore beach house in Manasquan, NJ is literally 120 steps away from the beach, and the minute you enter the door, all you want to do is RELAX!
The owners of the beach house really took the time to pay attention to the details that make a beachside rental feel like an oasis. With neutral tones throughout the home with touches of gold and anchored with a variety of sea blue colors all around the house, you almost don’t want to leave to go to the beach itself.
I loved wearing this white dress around the house and shared more here in this post. Love the decor? I’ve rounded up some similar finds to transform one of your rooms into an oasis home, even if you don’t live anywhere by the sea but want to feel like you do!
With 4 bedrooms (one with a balcony), two full bathrooms, toys for kids, ceiling fans in every room along with a sweet welcome treat, the home came equipped with everything we needed, even if we simply wanted to stay in and cook for the night. With plenty of space for parking (in the shade!), beach essentials such as beach towels and chairs, you really don’t need to pack much to enjoy your vacation in complete comfort. It really felt like an oasis by the sea.
There is so much to do in the area of Manasquan and the surrounding towns (Sea Girt, Point Pleasant) as well. With great restaurants, the boardwalk at Point Pleasant, and the Jersey Shore at your footsteps, there is no denying that if you are looking for a great place to stay without the potential hassles of booking a hotel, this home is right for you. It definitely was for my family.
There are a few weeks/weekends open in July and August, so be sure to check out the Oasis by the Seas home here to see if something may work for you and your family. Be sure to book your stay soon, as this is the first summer it has been available for the summer and almost already rented out entirely for the season!
Check out our vlog of our stay on my Youtube channel below for a full recap of the exciting weekend we had! We’d love for you to subscribe and let us know what you think! Have a very happy 4th of July weekend, if you celebrate! Thank you for stopping by!
OMG! This place is magical! Makes me want to go on a beach vacation!

Oasis by the see is such a beautiful beach home! I so appreciate when a vacation rental is equipped with hotel style amenities and toiletries- and the beach chairs and supplies are totally clutch! And I love the Jersey shore- we used to visit Avalon and stone harbor for our vacations when I was a kid.

This beach house is so cute and cozy! The owners did a spectacular job decorating the place, very beach chic! I love using VRBO myself, we travel to Florida quite a bit, and that is my go-to on booking a place to stay.
I’m so glad to finally get rid of one of my misconceptions which really is my own fault due to not being able to separate fiction (well almost) from reality as all I associate with Jersey Shore is that horrendous reality TV-show I stumbled upon once years ago. Through this post I see it’s actually a beautiful location well worth a visit and even a vacation, or as in your case, a staycation. It’s got that New England touch to it and I absolutely love the atmosphere of it!

This beach house couldn’t have went any better! Staying inside it immediately teleports you to another world of relaxation and summer sea Breeze! Staying in homes like these are so much more welcoming than in hotels which are a little more sterile and mundane. I love what you’re wearing and it goes perfectly well with the nautical theme!
Such a pretty beach house! I’m a little obsessed with the décor. Looks like the perfect escape from the hustle of City life. So much better than a hotel room. I have three kids so it’s really tight in most hotels rooms – but a whole house sounds genius. And love your white maxi BTW!

Wow this is amazing. Couldn’t agree more, the perfect way to start summer off is by just chilling near the beach. Seems like you had an amazing time. The beach house you are staying at seems so luxurious and gorgeous. LOVE IT. I love NJ, such an awesome place to visit. Thank you so much for sharing babe. I really enjoyed reading all about this wonderful post!

I think this place looks like a perfect destination for a future vacation.

Omg this looks like the perfect little beach getaway with the family. I LOVE the decor so much to the point that I want to show my mother in law and convince her to change the decor at our beach house. We own a beach house in Washington that we go to almost every weekend and it’s my happy place. I love anything nautical. I am striped obsessed. Love your maxi dress, you look gorgeous ! Glad you had a great vacation !

Wow, the owners did a great job with the decor for this beach house. Everything is so well thought out and the color palette is so beautiful. I’ve never heard of VRBO. What’s the difference between them and AirBnb?
Also, I’m in love with your white maxi dress. You can never go wrong with that dress for summer!

Wow what an amazing little getaway. I’d love to check this place out and relax! Loving all the decor. This is what I imagine my dream beach house will local like. Clean and lots of blue and cute coastal decor.
I’ve always wanted a beach house like this, it is so relaxing and beautiful. But we don’t live near the beach so that will probably never happen. That’s why I need beach vacations and this Oasis by the Seas home here! I was going to ask if VRBO is similar to a Homeaway or Airbnb service and when I clicked on the link, it does state that it’s a part of Homeaway. Which is amazing, I love how they provide you with the essentials like beach towels and beach chairs. Making packing so much easier! This home is so perfect, I need to bookmark for next summer with my family, as my doctor doesn’t let me travel anymore now I’m almost in my third trimester :)

omg that beach house is so sweet and cute! I love all beach houses and this one is extremely cute!!! My dream is retire on the beach one day and have a cute little beach house so I can chill on the beach for sunsets every afternoon and walk on the beach every morning!!! I guess it’s good to have day dreams sometimes. hahaha

This house is amazing! It looks like from the Interior design magazine. Everything is on point there. I love the sea inspired design and decorations so much.
Glad that you and your family had great time there. Would be happy to stay in house like this too :)

Oasis by the beach looked so relaxing and beautiful, it has that old hollywood glamour but manages to look incredibly refreshing and chic. I love the hotel and its vibes so much and would love to stay there one day!

This is actually the cutest beach house! I am glad you had a great time at the Oasis By the Sea! I love when rental homes feel like a home away from home. The owners really paid a lot of attention to the finishing details, they are perfect! I have heard of VRBO, but have never used it! I’ll definitely be sure to take a look at their site the next time I am looking to rent a house for the weekend.
Thanks for sharing!

This house is so cute!! Looks like the perfect place to stay!
wowoww!!! Is it real?!
It seems to be a real paradise on earth!
I’m dreaming about such wonderful vacation!
Wow what an amazing and beautiful home to get away and spend a few days of summer in! I love the cozy, coastal vibe and the decor is too darling. It is such a spacious home for a family like mine and I love that it feels like home yet is still a vacation. How cute is it that you can sign the guest book and the little details like dishwashing soap and laundry are provided. This seems like the perfect relaxation home for summer. I definitely would check into here if I was to go to the Jersey Shore! xoxo, Christine

What a beautiful home! This seriously is an Oasis by the sea! I love the decor and all the major nautical vibes! I love staying in homes rather than hotels as well– they usually have so much more character!
What a darling and relaxing getaway! Looks so heavenly!
Will have to see if I can book a weekend here next summer. Love the decor of the home and how inviting and relaxing it feels.
Your maxi is beautiful! This is the style of home decor I want my house…Well close. Iwould want it to be more lakey and less oceany.
Picture perfect!! Love this!
beautiful house! i bet you and your family had a relaxing vacation! and I LOVE love love your white dress!
I love anything nautical/coastal/beachy for my home decor! This decor is so inspiring! Definitely sharing :)
Although I am no where near the ocean, I love coastal decor and try to incorporate at least a little in my home.
What a lovely place to enjoy the shore. I’ll have to check it out. Thanks for sharing!
Such a perfect beach vacation..What about cleaning up and other chores ?Does it come with housekeeping. That’s one thing I like staying away from on vacatons!
