10 Beautiful Ocean City, New Jersey Vacation Rentals Near The Beach And Boardwalk

Nestled along the Jersey shore, Ocean City is home to 8 miles of pristine beaches, over 2 miles of boardwalk filled with family-friendly entertainment, and plenty of vacation rentals that let visitors enjoy both. In contrast to Atlantic City’s bars and nightlife scene, Ocean City, also known as OCNJ, is the perfect vacation destination for quiet and relaxation.

In fact, this top tourist spot is known as America’s Greatest Family Resort. Area amusement parks include OC Waterpark, Gillian’s Wonderland Pier, and Playland’s Castaway Cove.

To the south, the dunes and wetlands of Corson’s Inlet State Park offer natural beauty on the water with a boat launch, scenic trails, and wildlife. Water activities include boating, fishing, and jet skiing.

May to early September is the best time to visit this coastal city. Close to both the beach and the boardwalk, Ocean City’s North End is a popular place to stay with several vacation rentals available. We’ve gathered up the top-rated Ocean City, New Jersey, rentals for your family getaway to the shore.
