Why Private Vacation Rentals Are the Best Way to Travel in 2025

Absolutely breathtaking, well maintained, and great views! Loved the claw tub!

I wish there were more stars to click! Legacy Lookout was absolutely amazing. Perfect home to accommodate our multi-family vacation. The location was great, a short trip to the airport, and plenty of dining and shopping close by. Spending time relaxing on the property was the highlight of our trip though. We could not get enough of the panoramic views from the amazing (and massive) covered porch! Dolphin watching from the dock was a major bonus as well. I can’t recommend this property enough!

We had a wonderful stay at the Legacy Beach House in Point Pleasant, NJ. Eleven (13) of us—6 adults, 5 teens + 2 dogs—were there to celebrate a clean bill of health for the family matriarch and the home did not disappoint. The home was in excellent condition and included nearly everything we could need for the week—a well-stocked kitchen, firewood for the fire pit in the back, several beach tags, linens, top-of-the-line appliances, plenty of seating both inside and outside, wine fridge, coffee makers. We are a feasting family and we prepared most of our meals in the large kitchen. It had pretty much everything we needed. We also used the grill which is a great quality, nice-sized grill. It is due for a good cleaning but I imagine by the end of summer they all get pretty messy. We did need to refill the propane tank as the one there was empty. No biggie though. It was available right around the corner at the grocery.

The location was fantastic and only a quick walk to the beach, boardwalk, and other attractions. Plus, being on the lake was a lovely bonus with its peaceful atmosphere and beautiful views highlighted by the many ducks, swans, geese who live there. Shopping and dining were close by and plentiful. The city is a great spot for families and we enjoyed the aquarium and the Thursday night fireworks as well as live music right across the lake that we could enjoy from the patio out back of the house.

The beds were clean and comfortable and the AC kept the house nice and cool even though the sun hits the back late in the day. A nice breeze through the multi-panel sliding door made for great indoor-outdoor living with the deck and bar area off the kitchen. The basement had some fun games available, though it was pretty warm on the hotter/rainy days and a bit musty down there so we didn’t use it a ton. Especially when it had been raining. The back patio was beautifully hardscaped and well-lit and just awesome at night or in the early morning with a cup of tea and a book.

Geo was very responsive and friendly on the rare occasions we had to reach out (the house was short some beach tags and Geo was quick to offer reimbursement of our expense for tags). It’s clear the owners have great pride in their investment and in providing a memorable stay for guests.

Overall, I would highly recommend this rental. It was a pleasure to stay here and we felt right at home.

We rented a Van Dutch 40.2 yacht from Legacy Yachts last week and had an amazing experience. The yacht’s sleek design and luxurious comfort were impressive and we were the talk of day, everyone loved it! Legacy Yachts’ customer service was outstanding from start to finish. Geo walked us through every step of the way and took care of everything. The staff was professional, attentive, and made sure everything went smoothly. Highly recommend Legacy Yachts for a top-notch yachting experience in South Florida! We will be back!

Had a great stay in June. Everything as pictured. Nice surprise that Thursday night fireworks from Jenkinson’s are visible from the property. Coffee bar area was nice as I like to travel with our Nespresso machines when renting a home. We used the firepit almost every night. Neighborhood is super quiet at night. Home is a short walk to the beach and boardwalk as well as donuts, coffee and breakfast items.

We just completed a two family vacation and everything about our stay was great. The house is located close to beach and boardwalk but far enough back that you don’t deal with noise or traffic. The setting on the lake with the fire pit made for great outdoor dinners, smores and relaxing. The house is updated with very nice furnishings and everything you need to make food and drinks for the family. Especially appreciated the separate wine/beer fridge and coffee area which frees up a lot of space in the refrigerator and counter space. The game room in the garage is a nice bonus. We’ll stay again for sure.

If we could put 10star we would! Legacy Lookout was the perfect slice of home and paradise all in one.

What an amazing week! Obsessed with this house! This is our third year coming here and it is such a fun time every year. It is 45 mins from Savannah, 45 from Hilton head, and 1hr and 15 from Charleston, making it such an ideal location.

We stayed at Legacy Beach House over Memorial Day weekend with our family and friends. The house was extremely clean and there was plenty of room for everyone to sleep. The beds were very comfortable and we really liked that the sheets and towels were provided. We loved having fires outside by the fire pit and sitting on the adirondack chairs. All of the children had plenty of space to play both inside and outside of the house; there was even a playground nearby which was very convenient. The house was so close to the boardwalk as well which made trips to the beach and boardwalk very easy. I highly recommend Legacy Beach House for your next family vacation. We will definitely be staying there again soon!

We stayed here for a week and really enjoyed it.
The house was great and is perfect for families with young kids. It’s really close to the beach and boardwalk and has tons of parking. The house was really clean and well maintained and came with linens, towels and really comfortable beds. The best part was the outdoor deck and patio overlooking the lake!
