Home Watch & Estate Management in Point Manalapan, Manalapan
Point Manalapan sits in the town of Manalapan, on the narrow strip of land between the Atlantic Ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway. Homes here are as close to the water as homes get. That is the appeal, and it is also the risk: salt, wind and high water reach the house from both sides, and storm surge is a real consideration rather than a distant one.
We are an FHWA-certified home watch company owned and run by Nick Martinsen and Wesley Oldham. In Point Manalapan we build each visit around the water: the seawall, the openings, the salt wear and the storm plan. You receive a written report with photos the same day.

What homes here need
Salt on everything
Between the ocean and the Intracoastal, salt reaches every exterior surface. We check A/C condensers, hardware, railings, light fixtures and window frames for corrosion and get repairs on the calendar before parts fail.
Seawalls and docks
On Intracoastal-side properties, we look at the seawall cap, any cracks or settling, the ground behind the wall, and docks and lifts where they are part of the property.
Impact glass and openings
Doors and windows are the first line of defense in a storm. We check seals, tracks and hardware on impact openings, and confirm shutters work where the house uses them.
Surge, wind and hurricane season
Our hurricane program for homes this close to the water covers securing outdoor items, protecting openings, checking generators and sump or drainage equipment, and a post-storm report as soon as the road and the town allow access.
Access
How gate and vendor access works
Before our first visit, we register with the Point Manalapan gate as your authorized home watch company, following the community's process, so visits run on schedule.
We arrange vendor access in advance, meet each trade at the house and stay while they work, then send you photos of the result.
