With a little more effort, this property could have lived up to the expectations created by the posting.
What was good:
Bed was comfortable, plenty of beach towels, newer coffee maker and blender, pretty clean, decent kitchen and table, nice porch, close to Asbury Park, and reasonable rent.
What was disappointing:
No bath towels, wash clothes, or hand towels, etc. Half a roll of TP - no extra, no room in the one old dresser for any clothes (full of blankets, etc.), and no place to put suitcase since we had to live out of it, extremely limited TV options, mishmosh of dishes, cups, etc in no particular order in the cabinets and on shelves, very cluttered, looked like it might have been recently painted and things hadn't all been put back - pictures on the floor behind furniture, etc.
What was unfortunate:
Outside entry doorknob did not work the first night that we came home after dark. After struggling in the dark, we finally went to the side door and got in. Fortunately, we hadn't put the chain on it.
The coffee maker had old moldy grounds in it and old moldy coffee in it. Yech!
Silverfish in the bathroom. Yikes!
Overall, if you have very limited standards, this was fine. However, it could be so much nicer with a weekend of two of organizing, culling, and basic handyman stuff.

For when you want to go down the shore but don't want to deal with the insane prices you can get on rentals, this is a perfect, quaint location a short walk from the beach. Can't recommend it enough.

The owner was very responsive.
This property is very old and badly in need of updates including to be painted. The locks and the lock box were very challenging to use even though the owner brought a new key. The doors just don't close properly. The apartment is dark and cramped even for two people. The windows don't all have screens and some are hard to open. There were no hand towels, and the bathroom is very old so the water pressure isn't great and the water doesn't get very hot. There is really no place to put your toiletries. There is one old dresser for clothes but it had the owner's stuff in it. Furniture could use to be replaced including the bed and living room couch which were not very comfortable.
The kitchen had almost no utensils. Although the apartment seemed clean it is just so old that it doesn't feel clean including the tile floor. It would have been fine if it was advertised correctly and we knew what to expect or if the fee was lower.

We were in town for a concert at the Stone Pony. Everything in town (and across the bridge) is very walkable. The beach is gorgeous. The house has plenty of beach chairs. There are many very old structures in town. This is a house that was built many years ago and things are a little small/tight. But it was perfect for our weekend get away.
5.0
We had a wonderful time staying here. The beach is only a short walk away, as is Asbury park with dozens of restaurants. The neighborhood is quiet and very clean. The apartment was stocked with the necessities and paper goods. I would definitely stay here again.

Good location for beach and Asbury Park restaurants. Great bath and beach towels and new beach chairs. Spent a lot of time on porch. But the condition of the property was disappointing. Also, basics such as bath soap, garbage bags and condiments were missing.

All reviews we read regarding this place were extremely positive but not exactly accurate.
We arrived at the rental and found the keys easily. We entered the rental to find that the place was clean and tidy but extremely dated. The windows need replacing desperately and it would have been nice if the owners would have left a check in/out sheet of paper with all the details on it. Instead we needed to hunt for everything. Also, we arrived back from our first night out and we could not open the front access door with the key. The owner was contacted and she had her longtime renter open the door for us...mind you it was midnight. the lock needs to be replaced. We never again trusted the front door and accessed this apartment from the kitchen. In most VRBO's I have stayed at there were some coffees and tea bags as a nice amenity. Not here. All in all, we were disappointed in the place for the money they charged.

Apartment was small, but clean, comfortable and had everything needed for a long weekend. Just blocks from Main street with
shopping , dining spots and Day's ice cream !!! The homes in Ocean Grove are unique and the properties are well taken care of. Melissa was a great host and I look forward to returning next year !

Wonderful time!
We enjoyed our stay at Mt. Tabor cottage! This is a great option if you're looking for an affordable, no-frills stay for a small group. It was a great size for myself and my 2 daughters. We especially loved that everything was within walking distance (beach, Day's ice cream shop, several dining options). We look forward to returning sometime! The host was very quick about answering questions.

Cozy Cottage
Very clean, Cozy and confortable. The cottage is an open concept, have to walk through the bedroom to get to the kitchen and bathroom. There are sliding doors for privacy but have to be willing to share all the spaces. Great for a couple with a couple kids and/or friends willing to be in close quarters. Overall great place nice front space with swing chair and easy to get around by car or foot.

Great host! Clean place.
The host is phenomenal. Any questions asked were answered in a matter of minutes.
The place was clean. Towels looked new. Bed was very comfortable
I do recommend a new pull out bed in the living room and a new sofa. Both seem dated. Other than just a few furniture and aesthetic updates it’s a nice place with a great location

Great spot for a get away at a beach town
We enjoyed our stay. The bed was comfy and the space was enough for two.

Nice Location
The apartment has a nice location for walking to the beach, Main Street Shops and eateries, or Asbury Park Restaurants. There wasn't much communication or instructions for the appliances, location of trash and recycle or the beach items on the porch. The kitchen and bathroom were very clean. We didn't find any pillow cases just shams but fortunately we had packed some. It was convenient to have the washer and dryer!

Cottage for Beach lovers
The size is great for two, or anyone with two or less children. Could have three adults. It had all the necessary things to cook with. Short walks to Asbury for dinning. Cookman Ave is like restaurant road at the shore. Walking to the beach was great after a year of COVID non exercise . Every where in town is within walking distance to restaurants, church . Parking a little challenging, but once you park no need to drive around. Melissa is ready to answers any questions. Expect to return again.

Wonderful Experience
I highly recommend this rental for a lovely stay in Ocean Grove. Melissa was a wonderful host. The apartment was spotlessly clean, well stocked with pretty much whatever we needed in terms of amenities, and was comfortable.
The property is very close to the best parts of Asbury Park, which was so convenient to walk to rather than struggling to try to find parking. There is a spot on the back deck to store bicycles too. We had three bikes and they fit nicely.
Melissa and her family are kind, gracious and made our stay quite comfortable. They responded quickly to whatever questions we had too. We really enjoyed our stay in Ocean Grove and I highly recommend this rental. It was a great choice for us.

Lovely long weekend stay
We had a lovely stay at the cottage! Melissa was one of the nicest and most communicative hosts we’ve ever had. The apartment kitchen was well stocked. The location was great for the beach and Asbury restaurants. We loved having takeout on the front porch taking in all the beautiful architecture OG has to offer. Thanks again!

Amazing location!
Spent a lovely weekend there with husband and two kids- perfect for 2 people and totally doable for 4. (We had originally planned for just the two of us). Fast communication with owners. Would stay there again!

Cute little beach apartment!
This place was really the best, it ticked all our boxes, like being clean and sanitary, being just a few blocks from the beach(definitely within walking distance)and being on the ground floor...but what made it really special was how amazing our host was!

Great little property for a big getaway
This is a great property, located in a quiet area that gives easy access to both the beach and restaurants of Asbury Park (such as they are!)
The apartment is completely as advertised, and perfectly sized for a couple looking to get out of town for a trip to the beach. Melissa (along with David and Jacob) were spectacular hosts, with easy communications, and super-friendly/helpful with recommendations and infromation about the area.
The property was very clean, and came loaded with plenty of items that aren't always found in other places that make life easy (kitchen was fully-stocked with utensils; the grill is clean and easy to use; hand soap in the bathroom...just the "little things" that are easy to neglect).
Thank you, Melissa, David, and Jacob for such a great week! We'll look forward to staying with you again soon!

A relaxing week away from the city
We really enjoyed our stay at Melissa and David's apartment! Had great conversations with them as well as property manager Mark. The apartment is an OK size for 2 people, but what truly makes it great is the outdoor space - we spent hours just lazing on the porch every day. The house is 150 years old and it's a work in progress (and labour of love) to keep it updated - so just keep that in mind if you're used to a more modern style of residence. We had a couple of small maintenance issues (a small leak in the roof and a sink that was a little slow to drain), but they were fixed almost immediately.

Wonderful break in Ocean Grove
Had a wonderful time in Ocean Grove, property had everything we needed for a few weeks at the beach for a family of three. Property owners were amazing and we loved Mark who manages the property and made us feel right at home. Location is perfect for stores, restaurants, beach and steps from Asbury Park. Wish I was back on that verandah right now!

Relax at the Grove
The property was adequately set up as to basic needs for a 2 week stay. It wasn't luxurious but we were satisfied. The manager Mark was a doll and the property owners were sweet and attentive. Anything we were missing was provided ... We sat on the porch nightly talking of life and experiences. I felt the experience reflected Ocean Grove. I would come back again.
