The Wesley Cottage is a lovely home. It was very well stocked with everything guests need. Just a 10 minute walk to the beach in Ocean Grove as well as steps from the bridge to the restaurants, bars, and vintage shops of Asbury Park.

The nice things I will say about the property is that it was conveniently located near family and friends. The neighborhood was nice. The gas stove was appreciated. The negatives were while the furnishings may be described as antique, I will describe as tired. The couch was very uncomfortable. Considering the accommodations, the price was out of line especially off season. The second bathroom, described in the prior reviews as a closet does not amply define the space. It is located in the kitchen and is maybe 30" wide and is only suitable for a male to urinate. The parking near the property was hit or miss and presented a challenge on load in and load out days. My husband loves to cook and we believed that we could have family and friends over for meals. The house was too small and drafty to have such dinners. Working in the kitchen proved to be a challenge due to size and lack of counter space.

We loved our stay - beautifully and uniquely decorated, comfortable and peaceful home. Ideally located for Asbury Park though Ocean Grove itself is also lovely. Small confusion with timings of cleaners, but both Dan and Evolve couldn’t have been quicker to respond or more helpful and it didn’t spoil our stay at all. Would love to visit again one day, hopefully for longer.

We wanted a quiet week at the shore in the off-season. Grateful to find this cottage with heat as it did get chilly! Everything was as described and hosts were quick to respond to questions.

Beautiful historic duplex. A bit smaller than expected. Instructions included leaving dishes in dishwasher which was misleading since there was no dishwasher. Overall was sufficient for our family stay.

My three adult sons and I enjoyed our stay at this Ocean Grove home. Ocean Grove is a charming, artistic friendly community. the house with a fold out bed in the living room fitted our family. It was clean and the amenities included cable t.v., a washing machine and dryer. I enjoyed eating breakfast in the garden.

Our stay at this house in Ocean Grove was fantastic. The place isn't that big but it fitted well with six adults, 1 child and 1 baby. Five adults slept upstairs and there is a comfortable sleeping couch in the living room. We had a nice afternoon using the BBQ in the garden. Ocean Grove is very beautiful, laid back and quiet place. We loved it! The beach is on walking distance. Also a lot of beach stairs etc available in the house.
Thanks for letting us stay at your place!

Perfect beach cottage
My 1st VRBO rental and am extremely pleased. The scheduling was simple and all was accurate. The owners pride shows in the cleanliness and wonderful little amenities. A quaint and well updated cottage, yet plenty of room for 2 parents and tein 9yr olds. I will definitely rent this wonderful home again. Thank you

Ocean Grove Quirky
This is a typical, quirky, Ocean Grove property. Small, but efficient, eclectic style, clean, and well appointed. It gives you quick access to the center of Asbury, and yet a quiet neighborhood, out of the fray. It is an easy walking distance to Ocean Grove or Asbury Park beaches. The property managers are responsive and friendly. All in all a great stay.

Very quaint sea town summer house
We came to Jersey for a wedding and stayed the entire weekend at Dan and Reena’s Place. The house is located next to the Wesley lake which brings you via a footbridge to Abury Park where you’ll find a lot of restaurants and some shops. Ideal for a family who want to enjoy a holiday at the shores. The house has three bedrooms, a bathroom and a toilet/ shower down the stairs. The house is spaceous and clean. Beds were comfortable. Dan was very communicative and responded promptly to any query. We were really thankful for him accommodating to our needs as we were traveling with a couple of friends and two little babies. Thank you again Dan!

A Gem of the Ocean
Love this place! Adorable with the comfort of home and close enough to the great nightlife of Asbury Park. Enjoy the personal touches that Dan and Rena provide including local recommendations and homey accommodations. A must stay for those wanting to visiting the shore this summer! Close walk to the beach and fun! Can’t wait to come back!

Relaxing TImes in Ocean Grove NJ
A quaint Victorian tucked away in Ocean Grove is a great weekend escape. All Ocean Grove activities and those on the south side of Asbury Park are within walking distance. The house is clean and comfortable - there were 3 of us - but the kitchen and bathrooms are very small. We had great weather, so we were out and about. The owners are very pleasant and cooperative, wonderful to work with. We would return to the house, but would not recommend for more than 3-4 people.

Warm and inviting cottage so close to beach & fun!
I had the pleasure of staying here in Ocean Grove and using it as my base to explore the Asbury Park area. Such a perfect location: very short walk to the beach and an even shorter stroll to the restaurants and bars of Asbury. The cottage itself is so warm, inviting, and friendly. It has a nice-sized living room and dining area with a big comfy sofa for hanging out and watching TV. There is a nice kitchen that had plenty of pots and pans and dishes for when I wanted to cook (stove, microwave, toaster, etc.) and I loved having a washer/dryer to use. On nights when I didn't want to cook, plenty of places nearby delivered and there is a little shopping center with sandwich places, Chinese, pizza, and Burger King too that is super close. Each of the bedrooms has a fun vibe to them: there's the "French Room" that is the master bedroom, the "American Room", and then the "Captain's Quarters"; all the bedrooms are on the second floor. I stayed in the American Room and loved how peaceful it was, especially in the morning when I would get nice soft light at sunrise and could hear all sorts of birds singing and see a nice view of the trees and pretty Victorian houses outside. All of the rooms are decorated with sweet personal touches like vintage photos and items that have an Americana or nautical theme. I loved that so many items like soaps and shampoos were provided because I forgot to bring a few things and it saved me a trip to the store (though there's both a 711 and a Rite-Aid drug store a short walk away). I love to read in the morning and in the evening and the porch they have at the cottage was perfect for that. I'd make a cup of coffee (coffee maker provided!) and would sit and relax on the sofa or chair, looking out at the cute little street. The people in the neighborhood are so friendly as they'd pass by walking their little dogs. I made a lot of new friends during my stay, with lots of these neighbors telling me about the history of the area and things I had to see or do. A few of my favorites included visiting the nearby Catsbury Park Café (a coffee shop that has windows into a fun cat rescue nonprofit, where you can choose to play with all kinds of cats if you like), a really great arthouse movie theater (with comfy screening rooms that felt like I was in a Hollywood mansion), and walking down to the beach past all of the historic buildings. I really enjoyed my stay at the cottage and left feeling relaxed and so happy I made the trip.

A wonderful homey & well equipped property
It was my first time in Ocean Grove and I was delighted with the interesting, walkable historic community just across a foot bridge from Asbury Park. The house is charming with an old fashioned atmosphere equipped with all contemporary conveniences. Its large enough that four of us could have space and quiet and at the same time go to the beach, watch movies, play music without feeling cramped. Close to the beach and boardwalk yet the community definitely has more of a residential feel than beach house which is very nice . Galleries, shops and restaurants in Asbury Park are a short walk across the pedestrian bridge. All the beaches and boardwalk activities are right there also for sunbathing, water sports, bicycling and people watching. Its a great place to stay and a short drive or transit to Manhattan, yet a world away.
The house is newly renovated and very clean, fully equipped kitchen, bedrooms and baths, living/dining room with all the home entertainment you may want. The owner is at your service and a great host with excellent customer service and responsiveness.

Pleasantly Surprised
I’d heard about this beautiful place some time ago but I never could have imagined how fantastic it would be. It fits every stage of life: Parenting, empty nester, writer, artist, summer vacation home, winter getaway. It gave me a warm feeling like it was built & decorated with love. Because of the beauty and comfort I was able to get so much of my writing done!! My family and I enjoyed walking the Boardwalk and patronizing shops throughout this amazing piece of land!!! I will definitely visit again. Stay- Enjoy- Embrace- Have a wonderful time at this magnificent home!! You won’t be disappointed!!!!
