Beachfront Sunsets on the Water at Oakwood Beach

You’ll instantly relax when you arrive at this private beachfront home on the beautiful Delaware River (2020 River of the year!). This hidden gem is off the beaten path, making it perfect for you to escape the hustle and bustle of your busy day-to-day. You’ll love the amazing sunsets and water fun — walk out the backdoor directly onto the large deck and sandy beach.

Message us for information about the local wineries and distilleries or for kayaking!
The space:

The home has 4 bedrooms and 2.5 baths including a first floor, large bedroom with ensuite.

Easy access road with little traffic. Parking for 5 cars (1 in front driveway, 4 in our private parking across the street). Sleeps 11 with 6 beds (3 convertibles).

Walk out the door and onto the quiet beach, sit by the water, walk along the shore, go for a swim or enjoy water activities you love!

Our house is now equipped with Solar Panels which generally supply 100% of the needed energy demand.

Salem County is a rural agricultural area, not your typical Jersey shore experience. There aren’t bars or many stores, but you’ll see plenty of farm stands on your way to town filled with Jersey produce.

Most residents live on this is quiet beach year-round, so please be respectful, especially with your noise level. No parties are permitted. Quiet hours 10pm-8am.

Mid stay cleaning can be easily arranged per your preference. Please let us know.

The beach is beautiful and the water is great for swimming or water sports; however, there are no lifeguards: use of the beach and other outside areas are at renter's own risk (host is not responsible for any injury as such).

Note that there is a video doorbell and a security camera facing the back deck that record video when motion is detected 24/7.

There are noise monitor devices inside and outside of the property made by Minut. They only detect noise in decibels and do not record conversations.

Early Check-In Policy
When early check-in is possible, a $30 fee per early hour applies. Please note that we can't always guarantee early check-in, especially when it's requested well in advance. If you need guaranteed early access, we recommend booking the night before your intended stay.

Beautiful location!!

We had an absolutely amazing time spending our family vacation here! With many small children, the bay side water without big waves was PERFECT for our young swimmers and made sitting on the beach much more relaxing for us parents. The sunset views are incredible, and all of the extra water sports gear (paddle boards, kayaks, floats, etc) provided plenty for everyone to do! The neighborhood was VERY quiet, and we typically only saw 1-2 other people out on the beach. Owners were very responsive, very quickly fixed a small issue we had with the TV, and included more extra amenities than I have ever had at a rental (including snacks, beach sandals, extra toiletry items that may have been forgotten, toys, books, games, etc). We definitely hope to return again soon!

They thought of everything!

I have rented many vacation houses over the years and this is undoubtedly the best equipped house I have ever rented. Our group included two 2 year olds and there were many provisions for them, including a life jacket. We had a couple of minor blips that were quickly responded to by John. The house and easy communication made for a wonderful family vacation.

Adorable waterfront house

My family and I rented this property for our daughter's University of Delaware graduation week. We knew it was 40 minutes from campus but wanted a nice place for our family to stay while we were in town. The house is spotless. Cutely decorated. The set up of the house is spacious but cozy at the same time. The hosts were easy and nice to communicate with. They honestly thought of everything, from coffee pods, bag of ice in the freezer, phone chargers, you name it, they had it.

Family Time

Our family had a wonderful weekend all under one roof…every parents dream once your children become adults. The house was perfect for us…6 adults, our 2 year old granddaughter and a little dog. The house was clean, comfortable and had an amazing view of the water. We were lucky enough to witness 2 incredible sunsets! Our host, John, was very accommodating and easy to chat with. Throughly enjoyed our stay at this wonderful house.

Best Sunsets

The home owners did a great job of having everything you would need for stay at the beach. The beach was quiet and accessible from the back yard. There was a spot in the house for every family member to hang out and enjoy time relaxing. The sunsets were just stunning. Great panaramic view from the living room.

A surprising gem of a house and location

This exceeded our expectations in every way. A beautiful view, a well=appointed house, and a lovely location. This stretch of beach on the Delaware River is one of NJ's best kept secrets, so it's with a heavy heart that I give such an enthusiastic review. The eight of us could not have had a better stay here over a sunny Thanksgiving week.

Wonderful Family Vacation

We had an excellent weekend. Beautiful view with the most beautiful sunrise and sunsets. The house was perfect, right on the beach, very clean and comfortable. So many extras such as coffee, snacks, towels, linens, toiletries and more. Fantastic outdoor amenities, such as fire pit, kayak/canoe, beach chairs and more. The host was wonderful, as well, kind and understanding. He was very accommodating to a personal request that we had. We had a wonderful weekend at this beautiful home. We would highly recommend this place and we would love to come back.

Pictures don't do it justice!

This house exceeded our expectations! From the pictures, we knew it would be beautiful, but once we got there it seemed so much bigger and brighter than what the pictures show. Its so light and airy and was perfect for what we came for. It was VERY clean, each bedroom came with towels and makeup wipes. You can tell the hosts put a lot of thought into this home. We went in the fall, but was still such a wonderful time walking along the quiet beach and having drinks on the patio. Would highly recommend going on the off season with friends or a couple!

Great House on Delaware River

This was the perfect house for 3 Dads and their 14-15 yr olds for a weekend lacrosse tournament. The house was clean and spacious. The owner went over and above to welcome us and make us feel at home. The boys loved the kayaks, swimming and the beach. The Dads enjoyed the outdoor area, fire pit and grilling. All the beach supplies were on hand. Easy and quick communications with the owner.

Lovely views and home

We had a nice visit to this beautiful, waterfront home, and appreciated the host very much. The views from the beach were lovely. Unfortunately, we were woken several times overnight one night by ships’ foghorns as they passed by- every few hours. Even the white noise machines (a thoughtful touch) didn’t help. Not sure how to predict when the ships come through, but we slept soundly the second of our two nights there. The area is otherwise very quiet- we barely saw anyone else around. The Bankers and Farmers brewery in a neighboring town was a nice outing, as was the walk at Fort Mott.

WOW!!!! Awesome

The house was truly amazing. Very clean and homely. The outside area was great, plenty of seating areas. The master bedroom and ensuite was really nice. The kitchen, well we wish we had that at our home! Sunsets were awesome. Truly an amazing place. Our only slightly negative comment is the water pressure from the faucet and master shower was really slow. But apart from that a fantastic and truly relaxing time. The house looks just like the pictures only better :) The owner has little personal touches everywhere, just like a home away from home.

Christmas with friends

You're messaging ChatGPT, an AI We have no words to describe the perfect experience that John's cabin on the Delaware River provided us. John was a patient and generous host. From the beginning of the process, he was available for any questions, and even agreed to change our arrival date due to an unexpected issue with one of our friends. The house was very clean, delicately and beautifully decorated, and filled with everything one could possibly imagine needing on a vacation. When we arrived, a decorated Christmas tree was waiting for us, along with a cozy and warm home. We will definitely return to spend our summer vacation in this house. Vvgghr vacation in this house."
