This wonderful historic house right next to the main square was ideal for our family gathering. Plenty of room for visiting with each other, and a great kitchen for preparing meals together. Easy walk to the beach and Asbury Park.
This place was awesome! its a beautiful house in a beautiful location and a peaceful getaway yet the children had a great time especially with the porch swing, we all enjoyed that.
Incredible home. A piece of history that is as beautiful as it is comfortable. Accommodating and amenity filled. Management team was a dream to work with, easy check in/out and great communication.
This house is perfect for a family beach vacation. Great indoor and outdoor space; we spent a lot of time on the porch and the back patio. Having an outdoor shower, beach lockers, and a driveway were all added benefits!
This home is well modernized yet maintains its historic charm. Excellent location -- a short walk to the beach, Asbury Park attractions, and 'downtown' Ocean Grove (which has a very different character from Asbury). Perfect spot to take advantage of all the area has to offer. The property manager was very responsive and helpful.
This house is absolutely stunning. It is spacious, clean and charming The location is perfect, just a few blocks to OG, Asbury and the beach. We even watched the sunrise from the porch.
The host responded immediately when we had questions.
We loved our time there and hope to return soon.
Perfect place to stay for our group of 7 friends !! We all met in NJ many, many years ago and this house was the perfect, clean, comfortable and well equipped location to “catch up”… quiet location, easy walk to town and Asbury Park… would definitely recommend and return.
Property was clean and in great condition. Plenty of room for our extended family. Many amenities were included. The property manager was very nice, and checked to make sure everything was well. We parked our cars on Saturday and never needed to drive anywhere. Everything was in close walking distance. Would stay here again.

The house is gorgeous. The location is perfect. Days Ice Cream is a few building away. The ocean is two blocks away and in view. The property manager could not have been any more helpful. The porch, the little game room, the lovely back patio, bikes, touch screen concierge, the abundance of towels, anything you’d want or need is at your fingertips. It’s like your friends let you stay at their beach house. Would recommend this place to anyone.
Our large family LOVED this property. It's 2 blocks from the beach, 2 blocks from Days' Ice Cream and 3 blocks from bagels, a bakery and Odyssey Coffee. The wrap-around porch was delightful morning, noon and night. The bedrooms —the whole house—was very comfortable. The manager, Dominick, is probably tired of getting rave reviews but I'll give him one anyway. He was SO easy to work with and immediately responsive to any question we had. We would all love to go back another time.
We recently had the pleasure of staying at this beautifully maintained historical estate. We loved the eclectic mix of decor and the general vibe of the house. .Even though it was early December, we still were fortunate enough to have relatively mild weather and enjoyed the boardwalk and the proximity to Asbury Park. Between the quaint little town of Ocean Grove and the more bustling area of Asbury Park we found plenty of shops and restaurants to enjoy.
This house has all amenities you’d need to make any meal you want- kitchen stocked with everything! Plush towels and bedding. Porch is THE gathering place for deep conversations or just singing along to Sonos tunes. Walk to beach is easy, and having access to the locker stocked with chairs is key. Grill, outside shower, new large washer/dryer is another great plus. Dominick the manager was quick with replying to any questions- from where to eat to bike locks.
Our big family will return! Thank you!!!
Beautiful home with lots of history! Fully equipped kitchen with a double stove and tons of pots/pans/dishes/glasses etc! All the beds were comfy and cozy! We loved the gas fireplaces! Our family of 9 had a wonderful stay!
The location of this house is so perfect. Convenient to Asbury Park boardwalk, beach and downtown shopping. The house had tones of space and comfortable beds. The wrap around porch was fantastic. Would stay here again.
House was amazing- just as advertised. We had an extended family of 9 here and had the best week! Talk about a prime piece of real estate, with driveway/garage and even a back patio in an area where that is very rare.
We stayed a week at this house over Fourth of July. It was a big family gathering — 7 adults and 5 kids. The house was perfect! Amazing Victorian with tons of details and antiques, a lovely porch, every kitchen item one could need, one block from the beach, super close to Days ice cream, and access to a beach locker with chairs, boogie boards and umbrellas so we didn’t have to schlep everything! Love Ocean Grove, will definitely be coming back.
My family and I traveled to Ocean Grove for a funeral. Although the occasion was sad, we loved our accommodations and appreciated our gracious property manager Dominic. We would definitely return for a happier occasion, thank you.
