Beach block homes on the Jersey Shore. The ocean is not a destination from these homes. It’s the backyard.
There is a particular kind of vacation that only happens when the beach is genuinely close — close enough that you go back after lunch, close enough that the kids can run ahead and you’re not worried, close enough that the sound of the waves carries to the porch at night. That’s what beach block means on Absecon Island, and it’s what every home in this collection delivers.
Beach block homes sit one row back from the ocean — not on the water, but close enough that the difference is measured in footsteps rather than blocks. In Ventnor and Margate especially, beach block is the most coveted address category, and homes here tend to book fastest in peak season. If the walk to the water matters to you — and for most Shore guests, it does — this is the collection.
We have beach block homes across our three core markets. Each one has been selected not just for its proximity to the ocean, but for the quality of that proximity — the right access point, the right neighborhood feel, the right home for the trip you’re planning.
Beach block homes put you within easy reach of everything on Absecon Island — the boardwalk, the restaurants, and the experiences worth making a trip for. The beach is close. Everything else is closer than you’d think.
Guest Reviews
“2nd time staying with Bartram. House is modern and clean. Well stocked with beach items. The area is very safe and family oriented. Its not easy to find newly renovated beach houses that allow pets so thats a huge plus! Owners are very responsive and helpful.”
“We loved our stay. The house was charming, comfortable and extremely clean and the basement Speakeasy was a hit. The backyard space was great to relax and very private. The beach and restaurants were walkable. Don’t hesitate on this property.”
“My group and I stayed here for a weekend trip to the shore. Amazing house with the pictures not doing the place justice. Great kitchen, bedrooms, and overall space in the entire house. Highly recommend for your next stay in the Ventnor/AC area. The house was 2 houses from the boardwalk/ocean…”
