Most Sea Isle City listings get marketed as a generic Atlantic Ocean stay. That pitch could describe a dozen other towns, and it wastes what actually sets City of Sea Isle City, Cape May County, New Jersey apart. Guests who typed Sea Isle City are looking for Sea Isle City Promenade, Townsend's Inlet, Corson's Inlet State Park, the marina — not Rock Hall, and not Solomons. 101 active listings sit on this extract. Write the town you can actually walk. Keep the listing specific.

Typical listings here earned about $31,767 last year from 101 active rentals, AirROI trailing twelve months through July 2026. The average night was $561. Occupancy was 31.4 percent. Revenue per available night was $195. Year over year is minus 26.3 percent. Active supply moved 13.5 percent. Do not average in Rock Hall at $27,078 on 66 listings. That is a different town. Leave Solomons as a different market. Do not mix those towns. Treat this as a small sample, not a blended coast.

The three strongest months are August, June, and July. August is the busiest. January is the slowest. Most guests arrive from Philadelphia, then New York. Typical stay is 4.4 nights, booked about 93 days ahead. Call Clerk at 609-263-4461. City rental permit $150 due May 1. $50 late fee June 1. Confirm live. Avalon is another municipality. Short-term parking $80 is not the rental permit. AirROI Low is a scrape Tony holds still show up in this sample.

Stop Writing Generic Atlantic Ocean Copy

That heading is the useful way to read Sea Isle City, not a dashboard label. Guests come for Sea Isle City Promenade. Say that in the listing. Do not bury it under a generic Atlantic Ocean caption. Do not write Rock Hall copy onto a Sea Isle City address. Do not use Solomons as if it were this occupancy. Be specific about the walk. A vague caption loses the guest who typed this town. Keep the other town out of the title.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a typical Sea Isle City STR year on this extract?

AirROI lists a typical Sea Isle City year at about $31,767 from 101 listings, covering August 2025 through July 2026 and updated 2026-08-08. Average night sits at $561, occupancy at 31.4 percent, and year over year is down a sharp 26.3 percent. Don't average this figure against Rock Hall's $27,078 or borrow Solomons' $38,794 as a stand-in for this town's own year.

Can I average Rock Hall into this year?

No. Rock Hall published $27,078 from 66 listings, and that desk doesn't cancel into a single Atlantic Ocean average with Sea Isle City's. Cite $31,767 from Sea Isle City's own 101 listings only, and confirm the actual driveway before you advertise a figure that belongs to a different shore town.

Which months are strongest in Sea Isle City?

August, June, and July are the three strongest months, with August the busiest. January is the slowest, matching a full-year occupancy of 31.4 percent against the typical $31,767 year from 101 listings. Build the rate calendar around this town's own peak rather than a neighboring shore town's.

Where do guests come from?

Philadelphia sends the most guests, followed by New York. The typical stay runs 4.4 nights, booked about 93 days out, with a 36.6 percent Superhost share. Write for the guest who actually typed Sea Isle City, since that's who's booking this 31.4 percent occupancy, $31,767 market.

Does a low-regulation label mean there is no local permit?

No, that label is a scrape of listing counts, not a permit lookup. The live requirement runs through the City Clerk at 609-263-4461 for a $150 rental permit due May 1, with a $50 late fee starting June 1. Avalon is a separate municipality with its own desk, and the $80 short-term parking fee is not the rental permit. Rock Hall and Solomons are separate markets entirely -- confirm at Sea Isle City's own hall and keep this town's $31,767 from 101 listings on its own line.

Is a 30-night minimum the same as occupancy?

No. Nearly half of listings, 45.5 percent or 46 of them, carry a 30-night minimum, and that's a platform setting rather than a demand signal. The market's actual typical stay is still 4.4 nights, so don't read the minimum-night filter as if it were the occupancy figure.

What should a buyer packet carry?

Cite $31,767 from 101 listings, the August-June-July peak with January as the slowest month, a Philadelphia-first guest origin, a 4.4-night stay booked 93 days out, and the Clerk's number, 609-263-4461. Label Rock Hall at $27,078 and Solomons at $38,794 separately rather than averaging either into Sea Isle City's own figure.

Is Solomons the same market as Sea Isle City?

No. Solomons published $38,794 from 40 listings, a different sample on its own line. Sea Isle City's own year is $31,767 from 101 listings, with January as its slowest month rather than Solomons'. Confirm the actual permit through the City Clerk at 609-263-4461 before advertising one town's numbers as the other's.

Work with Crest & Cove Creative

A Sea Isle City listing that borrows Solomons' revenue figure or Rock Hall's occupancy is citing a shore town it isn't. Keep this beach's own $31,767 year on its own line.
