As featured in Jersey Shore MagazineElevating the Shore: How One Local Couple Is Redefining the Jersey Shore Vacation

The Jersey Shore has always been a place for making memories, but for Steve and Kim Resnick, it’s become the heart of a mission.

Recently featured in Jersey Shore Magazine, the founders of HeavenlyRez shared how they evolved from regular Shore visitors to industry leaders who are fundamentally changing the vacation rental experience in Ocean City.

A Legacy Built on Heart

The name HeavenlyRez is a deeply personal tribute to Steve and Kim’s daughter, who they often brought to Ocean City for family vacations. After facing profound personal tragedies, the couple chose to use those experiences as “ammunition” to propel their life and business forward.

Today, they are turning that passion into a purpose:

Charitable ImpactAll sales from their book chapter during its first year of publication will benefit a leukodystrophy foundation, raising awareness for the rare disease that claimed their daughter’s life.
Hyper-Focused HospitalityTheir journey has made them hyper-focused on what truly matters — helping other families make the most of their precious time together.

Setting a New Standard in Ocean City

In a market where it was long the standard for guests to bring their own linens and basic supplies, HeavenlyRez is doing things differently. They have successfully moved from managing just three properties in 2015 to a robust portfolio of 85 properties, all centered on a “hospitality-first” mindset.

What sets a HeavenlyRez stay apart?

  • The Hotel-Style Experience: Steve and Kim aim to provide a higher-end, hotel-style stay but with the unmistakable comfort of home.
  • Full Service, No Stress: Every home is fully stocked with essentials — shampoo, coffee, laundry detergent, and more — so guests don’t have to run to the store for the little things.
  • The Somers Point Hub: To support their growing portfolio, they purchased a dedicated hub in Somers Point to house linens and consumables, ensuring every property is organized and ready for arrival.

Recognized Excellence

Their commitment to a better guest experience has earned them national recognition and the highest number of five-star reviews in the area.

As Steve shares in their book chapter, it is often the tough times that push you to the next level.

— “Never Let a Good Crisis Go to Waste”

By leading with heart and innovation, the Resnicks are proving there is always room to raise the bar for hospitality at the Jersey Shore.
