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.

The property was as advertised The host was prompt with communication and was super helpful !! We will be back !

This my third year, enjoy Ocean Grove and this place and host.

Properly was as advertised. Good value. Was there for business and beach time when i could. Was a good alternative to expensive hotel rates. Would consider staying there again.

Apartment was practical and affordable. The weather cooperated which made for a nice week.

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.
