Beachfront Sunsets on the Water at Oakwood Beach

You’ll instantly relax when you arrive at this private beachfront home on the beautiful Delaware River (2020 River of the year!). This hidden gem is off the beaten path, making it perfect for you to escape the hustle and bustle of your busy day-to-day. You’ll love the amazing sunsets and water fun — walk out the backdoor directly onto the large deck and sandy beach.

Message us for information about the local wineries and distilleries or for kayaking!
The space:

The home has 4 bedrooms and 2.5 baths including a first floor, large bedroom with ensuite.

Easy access road with little traffic. Parking for 5 cars (1 in front driveway, 4 in our private parking across the street). Sleeps 11 with 6 beds (3 convertibles).

Walk out the door and onto the quiet beach, sit by the water, walk along the shore, go for a swim or enjoy water activities you love!

Our house is now equipped with Solar Panels which generally supply 100% of the needed energy demand.

Salem County is a rural agricultural area, not your typical Jersey shore experience. There aren’t bars or many stores, but you’ll see plenty of farm stands on your way to town filled with Jersey produce.

Most residents live on this is quiet beach year-round, so please be respectful, especially with your noise level. No parties are permitted. Quiet hours 10pm-8am.

Mid stay cleaning can be easily arranged per your preference. Please let us know.

The beach is beautiful and the water is great for swimming or water sports; however, there are no lifeguards: use of the beach and other outside areas are at renter's own risk (host is not responsible for any injury as such).

Note that there is a video doorbell and a security camera facing the back deck that record video when motion is detected 24/7.

There are noise monitor devices inside and outside of the property made by Minut. They only detect noise in decibels and do not record conversations.

Early Check-In Policy
When early check-in is possible, a $30 fee per early hour applies. Please note that we can't always guarantee early check-in, especially when it's requested well in advance. If you need guaranteed early access, we recommend booking the night before your intended stay.

Absolutely wonderful stay - the house is large, comfortable and clean. The kitchen is so well stocked - we had more than everything we needed for our meals! John is very communicative and helpful - check-out directions are very simple to follow. The beach is such a luxury - quiet and serene - the gorgeous sunset cannot be beat! Electric fireplace is very cool. There are so many kind little touches - like extra toothbrushes if you forgot yours (which my mother did) - it's clear that the owners went all out to make sure we had an excellent stay, which we did! Would definitely book again!

Our family had such a wonderful stay! The house was great, very clean and updated, with lots of nice touches like extra snacks, sunscreen, flip-flops, and beach towels conveniently located by the back door! There was plenty of room for large or extended families, with ample seating inside and out, and gorgeous views through the wall of windows all along the back! The deck was just perfect, we loved the outdoor dining area, as well as the comfy outdoor sectional for family hang-outs. The beach access was super convenient, great for families with small children who don't want to carry beach gear and toys too far! As nature-lovers, we were excited to see a variety of birds, including egrets, loons, cormorants, seagulls, mockingbirds, and swallows! The beautiful sunsets were icing on the cake! We couldn't have asked for a better location!

My wife and I have stayed at many vacation homes over the past 35 years and this was truly one of the best we have stayed at. The kitchen was well stocked and had everything you would need. Seriously, John thought of everything. The bathrooms were clean. The beds were comfortable. The living area was comfortable and has a gorgeous view with all of the windows facing the beach. The outdoor patio was amazing. There were beach towels, flip flops, bug spray, sunscreen, everything you would want for the beach. Everything was clean. We were on our way back to Philadelphia after a week of military parks and this was perfect for a few days of just chilling and relaxation. We will definitely stay again when in the area.

The home owners did a great job of having everything you would need for stay at the beach. The beach was quiet and accessible from the back yard. There was a spot in the house for every family member to hang out and enjoy time relaxing. The sunsets were just stunning. Great panaramic view from the living room.

A surprising gem of a house and location

This exceeded our expectations in every way. A beautiful view, a well=appointed house, and a lovely location. This stretch of beach on the Delaware River is one of NJ's best kept secrets, so it's with a heavy heart that I give such an enthusiastic review. The eight of us could not have had a better stay here over a sunny Thanksgiving week.

This is the second year that my wife and I joined my daughter's family at this house. We chose it for its location on the river and it having a beach. We brought a small sailboat with us and had a great time on the river and the beach. The layout suited our needs with a downstairs master bedroom. We attended the Cow Town rodeo on Saturday night and enjoyed it. The host maintained good communication via the app. We would recommend this as a great place to stay for a good time on the water.
