Here’s our guide to planning a stress-free and fun-filled family vacation at the South Jersey Shore:

1. Choose the Perfect Home Base:

Forget cramped hotel rooms. A Cozy CoHost vacation rental gives your family the space to spread out and relax. With multiple bedrooms, a full kitchen, and a living area, you’ll have all the comforts of home. Plus, many of our properties are just a short walk from the beach, making it easy to get the little ones to and from the sand.

2. Hit the Beach (and Beyond):

The main attraction, of course, is the beach! Build sandcastles, splash in the waves, and soak up the sun. But the fun doesn’t stop there. The South Jersey Shore is packed with family-friendly attractions:

  • Ocean City Boardwalk: A classic boardwalk experience with amusement park rides, mini-golf, and plenty of treats.
  • Morey’s Piers & Beachfront Water Parks (Wildwood): A must-visit for thrill-seeking families, with three piers of rides and two water parks.
  • Cape May County Park & Zoo: A free zoo with a surprising variety of animals, perfect for a break from the beach.
  • Lucy the Elephant (Margate): A six-story elephant-shaped building that’s a quirky and fun photo op for the whole family.

3. Fueling Your Fun:

With a full kitchen in your Cozy CoHost rental, you can save money and cater to picky eaters by preparing some of your own meals. But be sure to treat the family to some classic Jersey Shore eats:

  • Pizza: You can’t go wrong with a classic Jersey slice from places like Manco & Manco Pizza in Ocean City.
  • Ice Cream: Cool off with a cone from Kohr’s Frozen Custard, a boardwalk staple.
  • Salt Water Taffy: Bring home a box of this iconic treat from Shriver’s Salt Water Taffy & Fudge in Ocean City.
