Common Questions

When should I book shore accommodations?

For peak summer weekends (especially July), booking 8-12 weeks in advance is recommended. Popular towns like Cape May, LBI, and Ocean City fill up quickly. Early booking also means better rates and more selection.

Is it too early to plan?

Not at all! In fact, early planning is the key to a stress-free summer. Most vacation rentals open their calendars in January/February for the summer season. Early birds get the best properties at the best rates.

What if I need to cancel?

Most booking platforms offer flexible cancellation policies. Look for properties with free cancellation or check the specific terms before booking. Planning early gives you time to research cancellation policies.

What's the best month to visit the Jersey Shore?

It depends on your preferences! July and August have the warmest water and most events, but also the biggest crowds. June and September offer pleasant weather with fewer crowds and often better rates.
