This is a large property, perfectly located on a reasonably quiet road, across from a charming pond, and very close to the beach. For large families or groups, there are ample bedrooms and bathrooms to accommodate. During the season, the host provides for beach access and storage and bicycles for easy around town riding. On this trip--offseason, it was only my wife and I. We did not avail ourselves to all the property has to offer. I was reared in a similar community slightly south of Spring Lake. For me, this was a visit to my roots. Importantly, I was familiar with characteristics of a beach home--when closed for any period, they can be a bit musty until you can air them out. I state this to be sure the readers understand this going in. My wife was not prepared, and this took her aback. As the home aired out, the mustiness lessened, and she got over it. My communication with the host was top notch. He was immediately available and responsive before and during our stay. This clearly helps in so many ways/ The only are I did not provide 5 stars was cleanliness. Two things were at play here. First, the week proceeding ours, this area in NJ was pounded with rain. The impact was to accerbate the mustiness of the home and to give it a less than sparkling appearance. Second to this, the normal cleaning crew did not attend to the pre-check in clean. The second team did not perform as well. I'm sure the host will attend to this issue, given his attentiveness and responsiveness.

A wonderful location for a family vacation. Plenty of room for game nights yet also spots to find alone time. The teens, tweens, baby, dog, parents and grandparents plus a few others had a memorable vacation. The house was extremely well stocked. Lovely views from the porch and two balconies. The pool passes were a great addition. Pool or beach? Great to have the choice! The owners were extremely responsive and quickly answered all questions. Thank you for sharing your home.

Expansive views of peaceful Wreck Pond from the porch, and 2.5 blocks to the beach. Neighborhood is quiet and pretty. House is lovely combination of old-fashioned charm and modern updates. John is great, very responsive and helpful. This is our second year here, and would love to come back.

We initially anticipated a rainy week but the weather held out and we had a great stay.

Winter respite. Great place to write my book.

This property is absolutely perfect for our family. The world already knows that Spring Lake is first class . . . but you have to stay here to understand how there isn't a better location in town. You are one block from outdoor mass and occasional concert at St Catherine's. It is a quick enjoyable walk to the quaint downtown area. This home is right on Wreck Pond which makes sitting on any of the three porches priceless. It is just over two blocks to the beach where there are clean restrooms, and lots of picnic tables in the shade. You get a bunch of passes that give you access to a "resident only" area that has a large storage area with beach chairs, umbrellas, and boogie boards in stock and plenty of room for your own sand toys, additional chairs, etc. so you don't have to lunk them back and forth. This area has three pools for those of us who feel sticky sitting in sand all day haha). We stayed here a month last year but it was only available for three weeks this year. The house itself is clean, the three showers are hot with great pressure, the kitchen is fully functional. The dishwasher, dryer, washing machine are all new, or like new. They have a brand new WEBER grill that we used almost daily in the back yard. Not one complaint from this renter. Nothing but high praise and hopes that we will be able to get this property again in the future.

This is a lovely home: old, with just the right updates to keep it both homey and modernized. Everything is as described. We spent a lot of time on the porch, enjoying the unobstructed view of the pond and swans across the road. 3 blocks to the beach. Owner was super responsive to the few questions/issues we had. Very short drive to Point Pleasant and Asbury Park for those looking for a different vibe for the day. All linens are provided which is a big plus, and the home is well stocked with kitchen and bathroom supplies. You will also love the outdoor shower, which was used more than the indoor ones. Don't expect a big backyard however. We loved it enough to re-book for next summer.

Lovely house and very well stocked, with all the comforts of home. Short walk to the beautiful clean beach, and a nice walk to the charming Spring Lake town. I enjoyed waking up to the tranquility of the swans swimming on "Wreck Pond".

We loved our stay in Spring Lake! The setting was lovely and the home provided all the essentials for an easy stay. We will definitely return!

This home was perfect for our family - we rented it for the entire month of July. Beautiful view of Wreck Pond right across the street which had far more bicycles, walkers and strollers than cars. Three porches gave us great outdoors opportunities to chat and enjoy the breeze. The house came with eight beach passes which gave us access to not only to the beach, but also the "resident only" pools right on the boardwalk. Don't underestimate the convenience of the locker in the pool area that stored eight chairs, three umbrellas, three boogie boards with a ton of additional room we didn't need! The house had what we called "Irish Charm" throughout ... family pictures, subtle Irish signs, deep green carpets, and crosses in every room. We are looking forward to staying here again next summer!!

We stayed here for three weeks to visit family who live locally. We couldn’t have been more happy with our stay at the house. The best thing was waking up and watching ducks and geese on Wreck Pond every morning. John, Mary Ann, and Patti were all really helpful and extremely responsive. The house is a family house, and we loved how well stocked the house was with everything we could want. We cooked meals in most nights and I felt just like I was home. The 5 bedrooms gave us plenty of room. The house is a few quick walks to Spring Lake beach. Even in chilly April we took our 4-year-old grandson to build in the sand with the shovels and pails provided in the garage. Thanks, John and family!

My friends and I had a great time hanging out. The neighborhood is quiet and the house was great for what we needed.

Big house with plenty of space for a winter/ stay. Owners were available and easy to reach if any questions.

Peaceful

Great house, beautiful view. Worth every penny.

We spent a week in this spacious and lovely home situated on a lake a short walk from the Spring Lake beach. Lots of sleeping areas and well stocked with everything you could need during your stay. Owners were extremely helpful and always available.

A warm and cozy beach house. Perfect get-a-way to work from home. Right on Wreck Pond and 2 blocks from beach. A wonderful property, clean with all the comforts of home. Thank you!

We really came away with wonderful memories. The house is nicely done with everything you need, and the 3 optional decks looking over the beautiful pond (looks like a lake) were all appreciated. We had 6 adults and ate several meals at the house and the kitchen is generously sized and well equipped. One of the best touches for our group was the access to bikes. That was a very much enjoyed, extra for us and we took several excursions to sight see, run for coffee creamer, and of course a couple ice cream cone runs! It had been too long for a family vacation, and this one certainly made up for it. The area is next level, and the shopping in town was well done. This is not a rafts and t-shirts town. My daughter loved the shopping opportunities. Absolutely will return again and would totally rent this house again. Fabulous pond view for early morning coffee on the decks. So pretty!

Our family had a wonderful stay at this property. It’s a short 2 1/2 block walk to the beach and the ice cream parlor, Sundae Times! Both were big hits with our 3 children. This home is spacious and has a very nice front porch where we enjoyed spending our time while at the house. The house is directly across the street from the lake. It was so peaceful and relaxing sitting on the porch in the mornings and looking out at the lake. All the homes around the lake were beautifully reflected in the water during the early morning hours. You are allowed to fish at this lake as well so it was a fun and an easy spot for my kids to go too for some fishing time. The property owners were very professional and kind. They were always available and easy to work with. We would highly recommend this home and location. We look forward to our next visit here. Richard & Penny Wolfe

We had a wonderful stay at this property. Can't beat this location right on the pond. Owner was very nice. Great beach vacation!!!

Owner was very accommodating and quick to respond to any questions. The house has plenty of kitchen and dining space for the number of people it sleeps (which isn't often the case). We loved the private hot outdoor shower! Awesome for sandy kids!

My family and I had a wonderful two week stay at this lovely beach house! Only a 2 block walk to the ocean, we had perfect weather every day and great accommodations! Highly recommend - and look forward to our next stay!

Loved my stay at this property. Waking up to the beautiful lake view was a true respite from urban life. The home is very comfortable with good sized bedrooms and plenty of room for kids. The property is owner was super responsive and a pleasure to deal with in all aspects of the booking process. I hope you enjoy your stay as much as I did.

Great shore home. Can’t beat relaxing on the porch while the sun dances on the pond out front.

The home was warm, inviting and spacious!! Enough room for the whole family to spend Christmas together. Our hosts were accommodating and lovely. Thank you for this special month in Spring Lake. We will never forget it.

Beautifully maintained home with a gorgeous view of Wreck Pond! We spent every night out on the front porch soaking in the evening air. Lots of room to spread out for large groups or families. A great open air kitchen with all the amenities. Short walk or bike ride to the beach. Luxury of swimming at the oceanfront pool on the beach boardwalk. We loved to walk to the center of town and into Sea Girt to enjoy the Parker House for a relaxing dinner. Close drive to other beach towns and many restaurants.
