Frequently Asked Questions
What is the layout of Oceanside Manor?
Oceanside Manor is a spacious 4-level beach home that can be enjoyed as one large vacation rental or as two distinct living areas: High Tide and Low Tide. High Tide includes the upper three floors of the home and features 5 bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms, the main kitchen, main living areas, decks, ocean views, sound views, and gathering spaces. Low Tide is the private lower-level apartment-style suite. It includes 3 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, its own living room, full kitchen, dining area, and separate exterior access. Together, the full property offers 8 bedrooms and 5.5 bathrooms, making it a great option for extended families, multi-generational groups, wedding guests, golf groups, friend trips, or families traveling together who want both shared space and privacy.
Are High Tide and Low Tide connected from the inside the house?
No. High Tide and Low Tide do not connect from inside the home. Low Tide has its own separate exterior access. The main lockable entrance to Low Tide is through the lower-level mudroom/bedroom area. Low Tide also has front and back sliding doors off the dining and living areas, which guests often use during the day for easy access to the outdoor areas, beach gear, grills, and shared spaces. This separate setup gives larger groups the ability to vacation together while still allowing part of the group to have a quieter, more private apartment-style space.

Does the house have an elevator?
No. Oceanside Manor does not have an elevator. The home is 4 levels, so guests should be comfortable with stairs.

If your group includes elderly guests, guests with mobility limitations, or anyone who prefers to avoid stairs, please review the layout carefully before booking.
Can we rent only High Tide or only Low Tide?
Oceanside Manor is designed so the property can function as two separate spaces: High Tide and Low Tide.

If you are interested in renting only one portion of the home, please check the available booking options or contact the rental manager for current availability.
Is Oceanside Manor good for multiple families?

The High Tide/Low Tide setup works well for: Two or more families traveling together Grandparents or in-laws who want a quieter space Adult children or teens who want their own area Golf groups or friend groups Wedding guests or reunion groups Guests with different bedtimes or morning routines
What makes the beach access special?
Oceanside Manor has private beach access with a walkway leading to a quiet and peaceful stretch of beach. Because there are no nearby public beach access points, the beach in front of the home often feels less crowded and more relaxed than busier areas. Guests can easily go back and forth between the house and the beach throughout the day.
Does Oceanside Manor have a private beach walkway?
Yes. Guests have access to a private walkway to the beach. This makes beach days much easier. Guests can return to the house for lunch, bathroom breaks, naps, or forgotten items without needing to pack up for the entire day.
Are there ocean views?
Yes. Oceanside Manor offers beautiful ocean views from the front side of the home. Guests can enjoy sunrise views over the Atlantic Ocean in the morning and may even see dolphins swimming offshore when the ocean is calm.
Can we see dolphins from the house?
When the ocean is calm, guests can often see dolphins swimming in front of the house. While wildlife sightings can never be guaranteed, dolphin watching is one of the special experiences guests may enjoy during their stay.
Are there sunset views?
Yes. Guests staying in High Tide can enjoy beautiful sunset views from the 4th-floor rear deck. This deck looks toward the sound and is a wonderful place to relax at the end of the day.
What is the High Tide Selfie Station?
The High Tide Selfie Station is the 4th-floor rear deck, one of the best photo spots at Oceanside Manor.

Guests staying in High Tide are encouraged to take a photo, share their favorite sunset moment, and tag Oceanside Manor on social media.

Please do not block the shared driveway, the sidewalk, or access to neighboring properties. The driveway on the right side of the building is shared with the rear neighbor and must remain open at all times.

Oceanside Manor can comfortably accommodate 4 vehicles. This includes 2 normal-sized vehicles in the garage and additional parking directly in front of the garage.

All vehicles must stay within the designated parking areas. Guests may not block the shared driveway, the sidewalk, or neighboring access.
Can we use the side driveway for unloading?
Yes. The shared side driveway may be used briefly for loading and unloading. However, vehicles may not remain parked there. Once unloading is complete, all vehicles must be moved to the designated parking areas inside the garage or in front of the garage. The side driveway must remain open at all times so the rear neighbor can access their home.
Are beach chairs and beach toys provided?
There are beach chairs, beach toys, and other beach items in the garage that guests are welcome to use during their stay.

Is Oceanside Manor good for off-season stays?
Absolutely! Oceanside Manor is a wonderful destination year-round, offering a relaxing coastal escape long after the summer crowds have gone home. With breathtaking ocean and sound views, private beach access, a hot tub, spacious living areas, multiple decks, and plenty of indoor entertainment like board games, the home is perfectly suited for every season. It's an ideal choice for long weekends, couples' getaways, golf trips, holiday celebrations, remote-work beach weeks, family reunions, quiet retreats, and special occasions such as engagements, anniversaries, and milestone celebrations. Even the simple moments—enjoying a peaceful walk on the beach, sipping coffee while watching the sunrise from the deck, or capturing a stunning sunset from the upper rear deck—become unforgettable experiences.
What makes Oceanside Manor different from other beach rentals?
Oceanside Manor offers a unique combination of amenities that is difficult to find in a single vacation rental. With eight bedrooms, five-and-a-half bathrooms, and plenty of space for large groups, it's designed to comfortably accommodate family vacations, reunions, and group getaways. Guests enjoy private beach access to a quiet stretch of shoreline with no nearby public access points, along with beautiful ocean views, sound views, breathtaking Atlantic sunrises, and spectacular sunsets from the upper rear deck. On calm days, it's even possible to spot dolphins from the property. Additional highlights include a gazebo-style deck near the beach, multiple outdoor decks, a private hot tub, and a dog-friendly policy. The home also features two fully equipped kitchens and two distinct living spaces—High Tide and the separate apartment-style Low Tide suite—making it an excellent choice for multi-family vacations and multi-generational gatherings. One of Oceanside Manor's most appreciated features is the flexibility it offers, allowing everyone to spend time together while still enjoying the privacy and comfort of their own quiet retreat within the same property.
Who is Oceanside Manor best suited for?
Oceanside Manor is ideal for guests looking for a spacious beach retreat with plenty of room to relax and enjoy a quieter, more laid-back coastal experience. It's especially well suited for large families, multi-generational gatherings, two-family vacations, groups of friends, golf outings, wedding guests, and travelers bringing their dogs along. Guests who appreciate private beach access, separate living areas, stunning ocean views, peaceful sunrise mornings, breathtaking sunset photo opportunities, and a less crowded beach setting will feel right at home. While the property offers exceptional flexibility and space, it may not be the best choice for guests who require an elevator, prefer a single-level layout, or want every bedroom connected by interior hallways.
What should guests understand before booking?
We want every guest to arrive with the right expectations so they can fully enjoy everything Oceanside Manor has to offer. Before booking, please note that the home spans four levels and does not have an elevator, so guests should be comfortable using stairs throughout the property. The Low Tide suite is a separate lower-level apartment with its own private living space and is not connected internally to the High Tide portion of the home. Its primary lockable entrance is accessed through the mudroom/shower area and then through one of the bedrooms, although convenient sliding-door access is also available from both the dining area and living room. Parking is available inside the garage and directly in front of it, comfortably accommodating four vehicles and, depending on vehicle size, up to six with careful parking. To ensure easy access for everyone, vehicles may not block the shared driveway, sidewalk, neighboring properties, or the shared driveway located on the right side of the home. We also provide a selection of starter supplies to help you settle in, but guests should plan to bring or purchase any additional essentials needed for the duration of their stay. For those comfortable with these details, Oceanside Manor offers a spacious, flexible, and unforgettable beach getaway complete with private beach access, stunning ocean and sound views, peaceful surroundings, and plenty of room for everyone to relax and reconnect.
Low Tide Questions
What should we know about the Low Tide entrance?
Low Tide has a unique but flexible entry layout. The main lockable entrance to Low Tide is through a mudroom/shower-style area and then through one of the bedrooms before reaching the main living area, kitchen, dining area, bathroom, and other bedrooms. However, Low Tide also has two convenient sliding-door access points: one off the dining area and one off the living room. Many guests use these sliding doors during their stay when they are coming and going from the beach, outdoor areas, or shared spaces and do not need to fully lock up the unit each time. We want guests to understand the layout before arrival so there are no surprises. The benefit is that Low Tide functions like its own private apartment, with a full kitchen, living room, dining area, bathroom, sleeping space, and multiple ways to access the space during your stay.
Why is the separate Low Tide apartment a benefit?
The Low Tide apartment is ideal when your group wants to be together, but not on top of each other. It gives guests: A second full kitchen A second living room A separate dining area A quieter sleeping area away from the main upper floors More privacy for extended family, grandparents, in-laws, teens, adult children, or a second family A convenient setup for groups with different sleep schedules For many groups, this “together but separate” layout is one of the best features of Oceanside Manor.
