About Vacation Rentals Ocean City NJ (VROCNJ)
VROCNJ is one of three websites owned and operated by Vacation Rentals Jersey Shore LLC, with the other two being VRLBI ( www.VacationRentalsLBI.com ) and VRWW ( www.VacationRentalsWildwood.com ). Vacation Rentals Jersey Shore LLC is not a faceless national corporation or a subsidiary of a conglomerate giant. We are local, privately owned, family business located right here in New Jersey!
We are committed to providing a way for Hosts on The Jersey Shore to connect with Guests in a meaningful way that benefits both, without unnecessary restrictions or fees. Through our websites, Guests have access to a wide assortment of quality vacation homes while avoiding all the service fees and taxes charged by VRBO, AirBNB and other online travel agencies (OTA’s).
We strive to connect homeowners, property managers and Realtors with Guests who want an easy-to-use interface when searching for their next vacation rental. We are excited to serve Ocean City NJ and its communities by providing a growing database of homes from The Gardens to The South End. We seek to provide a world-class vacation rental platform without the hassle or fees found on other websites.
Our Vacation Rental Listing Sites were created out of the frustration experienced by our founder, Duane Watlington. While managing his own Vacation Rental Properties on Long Beach Island with one of the “Big Name” listing sites, Duane found it frustrating that they were slowly taking away all the Host’s control over how they run their vacation rentals. So in the fall of 2016, vacationrentalslbi.com was launched to give Hosts back the control they were losing, and give Guests a platform WITHOUT booking or service fees!
It is our mission to provide Homeowners, Property Managers and Realtors with a “listing site” to advertise their Vacation Rental properties. A site where you can manage your own calendar OR import one from your own website. A site where you can manage your reservations and keep track of your communication with your guests. Your guests will be able to search for RELEVANT Vacation Rentals! We won’t fill the search results with properties from other locations. If they search the “Gold Coast" they will get just Gold Coast homes.
Best of all, we won’t hide EITHER party’s contact information! We believe that Owners, Property Managers and Realtors like knowing who they are renting too, and that Guests prefer to be able to contact the Host before booking, to ask questions and go over all the details.
So try our site! Our subscription plans start at just $349 for the year! YOU control where your listing shows in the search results based on the package you subscribe to. Just one booking a year through our site will pay for itself when compared to the commissions and fees you will pay through other platforms. Sign up TODAY so we can start promoting your listing and you can start filling in your openings for next summer!
Duane Watlington- Founder VRJS
The founder of Vacation Rentals Jersey Shore LLC is Duane Watlington. Duane has vacationed “down the shore” all of his life and now calls it his home. He has visited and vacationed in most NJ shore communities.
In addition to being the founder of Vacation Rentals Jersey Shore LLC, Duane is a Licensed Real Estate Referral Agent and manages a portfolio of investment real estate, including Vacation Rentals on Long Beach Island. Prior to getting into Real Estate, Duane successfully started, and grew, a Branded Merchandise Agency near Princeton NJ named Active Imprints. In June of 2018, after 35 successful years in business, Duane decided to sell Active Imprints so he could devote 100% of his efforts to the Vacation Rental market at The Jersey Shore. With the overwhelming success of his first website vacationrentalslbi.com Duane decided to duplicate what he did on LBI and provide his proven platform to the Vacation Rental owners in both Wildwood and Ocean City NJ!
Managing and promoting his own Vacation Rentals on LBI for over a decade has given Duane a lot of insight and knowledge on how to promote and fill as many rental weeks as possible. Duane has been able to book his two vacation rentals FULL from Memorial Day through Kite Fest (Columbus Day weekend) each and every year. In addition, he has been able to book many guests for weekend stays during the off-season as well, all using his website, that you can use too!
