Market Overview
Tuckerton is a small maritime heritage town of about 3,654 people on the Barnegat Bay side of the Jersey Shore in Ocean County, New Jersey, a mainland gateway near Long Beach Island. Tourism centers on the 40-acre Tuckerton Seaport & Baymen’s Museum, a working maritime village, plus the New Jersey Surf Museum and Jacques Cousteau National Estuarine Research Reserve exhibits; visitors are largely regional day-trippers and seasonal Jersey Shore vacationers. StaySTRA tracks Tuckerton’s short-term rental performance data at the Jersey Shore regional level, shared with nearby Beach Haven, Lavallette, and Ocean Grove, so the figures below describe that broader coastal market rather than Tuckerton alone. That regional market averaged a $536.27 ADR and 59.1% occupancy in June 2026, the most recent month tracked, with $6,795 in average monthly revenue. Year over year, occupancy and revenue held roughly steady (down 0.7% and up 3.1% respectively) while ADR eased 5.7%. Given the shared, multi-town dataset behind these figures relative to Tuckerton’s small population, this profile omits a specific listing-count figure for the town.

Investment Analysis
Tuckerton itself has no dedicated short-term rental ordinance; instead, all rented units fall under the borough’s general rental Certificate of Inspection framework (Chapter 122), which applies to any rental property regardless of length of stay. Because this market’s revenue is tracked at the shared Jersey Shore regional level rather than uniquely for Tuckerton, StaySTRA does not compute a gross rental yield here rather than divide a regional revenue figure by Tuckerton’s own home values, which would distort the result; Tuckerton’s typical home value runs $427,528 per the latest housing snapshot, for reference on entry cost alone. Based on the multi-year seasonal pattern for this regional market (summing average revenue across all twelve calendar months), a typical listing tracks toward roughly $46,700 in annual gross revenue, concentrated heavily in the June-through-August summer peak. On compliance, New Jersey applies a 6.625% state sales tax plus a 5% state occupancy fee to marketplace-booked short-term rentals, a combined rate of roughly 11.6%; Tuckerton has not adopted an additional municipal occupancy tax. New Jersey law also exempts stays booked directly through a licensed NJ real estate broker from these state occupancy taxes, a detail worth confirming with a tax advisor for larger operations.

Booking Insights
This Jersey Shore market shows a long booking lead time: 92.85 days on average, meaning guests typically book more than three months ahead, among the longest lead times in this dataset. Average length of stay is 4.36 nights. That long lead time is consistent with an established summer beach destination where travelers plan Jersey Shore vacations well in advance, especially for the peak July-and-August weeks, giving operators substantial runway to plan pricing before the booking window closes.
Short-Term Rental Regulations
Tuckerton Borough does not have a stand-alone short-term rental ordinance. Instead, all rental properties are regulated under Chapter 122 of the Borough Code, adopted in 2016: every rented building or unit must be inspected by the Code Enforcement Official on each initial occupancy or change of occupancy, must comply with borough ordinances and the New Jersey Uniform Construction Code, and the landlord or owner must register the premises with the Borough Clerk before anyone may occupy it. A copy of the issued rental Certificate of Inspection must be posted in each rented unit. Seasonal rental inspections cost $150 per calendar year, with a $40 fee for each required reinspection, making annual renewal effectively required. There is no published maximum number of rental nights, no owner-occupancy requirement, and no primary-residence requirement. On taxes, New Jersey applies a 6.625% state sales tax plus a 5% state occupancy fee to short-term rentals booked through marketplaces like Airbnb or Vrbo, a combined rate of roughly 11.6%. Tuckerton has not adopted a municipal occupancy tax, so no additional local lodging tax applies. New Jersey statute exempts stays booked directly through a licensed NJ real estate broker from these state occupancy taxes. Enforcement is classified as moderate.
Market Comparison
Nationally, short-term rentals typically run around 55% occupancy and a $220 ADR. This shared Jersey Shore market’s June 2026 figures, 59.1% occupancy and a $536.27 ADR, run well above both national benchmarks, more than double the national ADR, reflecting premium Jersey Shore beach pricing. The property manager roster, tracked regionally, is led by Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Zack Shore, REALTORS (181 listings, 4.48 rating), Shore Points Vacations (89 listings), Mary Allen Realty (85 listings), Evolve (84 listings), and Breezy Beach Stays (58 listings, the highest-rated at 4.98). The more distinctive comparison for Tuckerton specifically is regulatory: unlike some Jersey Shore towns with dedicated STR ordinances, Tuckerton relies on its general rental-inspection framework, a lighter but still real compliance requirement.
