About this house rental

*Bookings are Saturday - Saturday, with 7 Night Minimum*
NSTR23-0143
This 4-bedroom Victorian home is located steps away from one of the most beautiful beaches in the world in quiet Ocean Grove. The house has a large airy front porch, four bedrooms, 1 1/2 baths, dining room, new kitchen and appliances, living room and TV sitting room. Built in the 1880s, the house has undergone renovations, yet maintains its original cottage character. There are ocean views from the front porch, living room and two bedrooms and the beach is seconds from the front door. Many pieces of original antique furniture are still in use throughout the home. This house combines the history of an Ocean Grove cottage with clean uncluttered updates. *This house is an historic home. We do not have central air or luxury accommodations. The bedrooms are upstairs. There are three double beds and two twin beds. Two twin beds are best suited for kids or smaller adults. This house is great for people who want to experience one of Ocean Grove’s original historic wooden cottage homes. We are steps from the beach. We love the character and charm of this space, but it is not for everyone. Please reach out with questions prior to booking*
*Please read House Rules below to be sure this house is a good fit for you.*

The house is located in the National Historic District of Ocean Grove and is surrounded by nearly a mile of antique Victorian homes. Ocean Grove is a quiet peaceful town and is a quick drive or train ride from Manhattan. A walk around town reveals meticulously maintained Victorian structures and a storybook setting of canvas tents clustered around the majestic antique wooden Great Auditorium. The impressive Auditorium holds worship services, concerts and events and houses a massive antique pipe organ. Ocean Grove has a great lineup of activities throughout the year, including a town-wide flea market, antique car shows and house tours. This home is a quick five-minute walk to the shops, bakeries and restaurants on Main Avenue in Ocean Grove. The beaches of Ocean Grove and Asbury offer great surfing and swimming. (We like to check out the waves from bed in the morning!)

In the mornings we like to open the two front doors and let in the ocean breeze. The porch is the perfect shady spot for morning coffee or a glass of wine in the evening. Hydrangea bloom along the front of the house and the sound of the ocean can be heard inside and out. A stay at our home feels like stepping back into Ocean Grove's early days when families would retreat to the shore away from busy lives.

The home's interior is bright and calm. The first floor has a dining room with antique furniture and a large dining table that seats six or extends to seat eight. The completely renovated kitchen has solid wood cabinets, butcher block counters, an antique farm sink, and open shelving featuring reclaimed wood and subway tile. The clean white refrigerator, gas stove, microwave and dishwasher are new. The kitchen retains its lovely vintage built-in pantry. Washer and dryer are in basement off of the kitchen and there is a half bath on the first floor. Built in shelves hold rainy-day games and collection of art books. The sitting room and living room adjoin and feel like one large open room. The living room boasts views of the water from its large windows and its door opens out onto the porch. There is wireless internet and a television with cable in the sitting room. The living room is a favorite spot for reading, writing postcards and gazing out at the water after a long day at the beach.

Upstairs are the four bedrooms, all furnished with the home's original antique furniture. Each room has its own large closet, dresser and air conditioner. Three bedrooms have full beds and one has two twin beds. The master bedroom has ocean views from the bed and another has views from its two large windows. The full bath is located on this floor. Bath towels, linens and down pillows are provided for each room. (Please bring your own beach towels).

We provide four beach badges for use during your stay. Bikes can be rented from the Ocean Grove Hardware Store on Main Avenue.

We love a house close to the beach, and appreciated you could see the ocean from the front porch. It had a nice big table for our meals and gaming, with lots of board games and books. The clothes line outside and outdoor shower were nice to have after a day at the beach. The hosts were very easy to talk to and replied right away to any concerns or questions we had. We'd love to come back.

House is less than a block from the beach and you can listen to the surf from the front porch at night. House is well maintained and comfortable. Only issue is that if you are tall, descending the stairs can be interesting due to the l0w ceilings typical of a 19th century home.

Ideal location and charming home!
Ideal location and charming home!
This charming, comfortable home has a porch that draws you to it like a magnet. We loved sitting in the rocking chairs, reading on the cozy couch or watching the sunrise. It's an easy stroll just a half block to the beach and boardwalk. You’re close enough to the water to benefit from ocean breezes and the porch is in shade for most of the day. Beach, restaurants, coffee shop are all in easy walking distance. It was wonderful to be able to park our car and not use it until departure.

A wonderful week by the shore. Amazing location steps from the beach. Enjoyed rocking on the porch with the ocean breeze. We especially loved the big dining room table for game night; the outdoor shower; and the fully stocked kitchen. Highly recommend.

Lovely home, great location
Lovely home, great location
We always enjoy Ocean Grove and this is our favorite rental. It’s comfortable, clean, charming, quirky, walking distance to OG & Asbury Park shops/restaurants, and 1st beach block. It’s everything you hope for from a Shore rental for a family vacation.
