So, why blow all your budget on hotel rooms when there’s so much fun to be had by the beach or the boardwalk?

Estimated by Forbes to be worth “at least” 38 billion dollars as of 2018, Airbnb has come a long way from its origins as just airbeds for rent on a living-room floor. There is a ton of reasons why travelers might plump for the platform over traditional hotels – from keeping vacation costs down, through to living like a local and booking a space to suit a diverse group.

Here are our top picks from some of the best Airbnbs in Atlantic City, including cozy rooms that will be kind on your wallet and lodgings that can provide luxury without the eyebrow-raising bills.

 

1. Newly Renovated, One-Bedroom Seaside Retreat

At around $225 for a night here, you’ve hit the jackpot with this garden-level apartment that houses up to four guests. It’s all about location, location, location at this quaint hideaway.

You’ll be just steps from the ocean, boardwalk and nightlife – with free, off-street parking to boot. We also love the little touches: seaside-inspired decor, beach equipment, an outdoor grill and a kitchen that’s perfect for rustling up a quick snack.

Cleaning fees and taxes hike up the price but, split across six guests, it’s still a steal.

Pets and parties are allowed, while you’ll also have access to a porch, washer/dryer and a full kitchen with a coffee-maker.

Being just minutes from the ocean and the iconic Tropicana casino is a real bonus – at a basic rate of around $119 per night, what more could you ask for?

We love the bright, colorful decor and the spacious living areas in this 1,329sqft townhome – and you can have the whole place to yourself at around $350 per night.

The three queen-bedded rooms, open-plan relaxation space, flat screen TV and private deck with ocean views make this a restful rental that’s ideal for sharing quality time. The half-bath just off the living room – perfect for a post-beach cleanse – is an added bonus.
