10. Charming beachfront house
Watch the waves roll by while sitting on the sand or balcony of this beachfront property. The choice of interior design and furnishings gives this home a family-friendly or college-dorm vibe instead of a fancy celebrity getaway feel.

The kitchen is spacious and equipped with sturdy stainless steel appliances, so the aspiring chef of the group should be given free rein to make the most of it.
Best of all, you can stroll to Point Pleasant Canal from the property to charter a fishing boat. Housekeeping services are included with the rental too.
