IN SHORT:
This gorgeous pink-colored 1880 home is one of Ocean Grove’s most unique and historic Victorian-era houses. It features original wide-beam antique pumpkin oak floors, and a large original stained-glass accent window. Coveted central location offers ultimate convenience with very short walks not only to the beach, but to all of Ocean Grove’s most iconic destinations, such as the famous 1904 Day's Ice Cream Parlor, The Great Auditorium (1879), a place of Methodist Christian pilgrimage (where all are welcome) The Beach Pavilion, Thornley Chapel, The Bishop Janes Tabernacle, and the shopping, coffee shops & restaurants of Main Avenue Ocean Grove. The Creamcake is also just a quick stroll away from pulsing Asbury Park entertainment: Walk there through the quaint 1800s town to either of the two footbridges -- or take the Boardwalk, at the beach and oceanfront.

The Cream Cake House was built in the 1880s and has kept most of its charm from that era. Beautiful updated bathroom on the second level, dishwasher in the kitchen, which most rental houses do not have. The kitchen was well stocked with everything you needed. plenty of towels and paper supplies. Scott and Catherine were very nice and answered any questions we had almost immediately. Beautiful wicker furniture on the front porch, and a short walk to the beach. It was a very relaxing week for my group of five.

I traveled from out of state to receive care at Monmouth Medical Center. The Creamcake was a short 20 minute drive from the hospital. We stayed for almost 2 weeks. The house was quaint, the beds were comfortable and the location was outstanding. We loved the short walk to the beach and shops. The hosts were quick to respond to any requests. It was a great place to rest and recover.

This property is exactly as advertised. Beautiful Victorian home with all necessary amenities. The owners were very easy to work with. Ocean Grove is the place to go to enjoy the beach and quiet time on one of the two front porches. We definitely plan on coming back!

The house had everything we needed; beach toys, chairs, umbrella, boogie boards etc. as well as fully stocked with beach towels. It was a short walk to the beach, and to town for restaurants and shopping. The hosts Scott and Catherine were helpful and so friendly; they made us feel right at home. Thank you for the relaxing stay at your Creamcake House!
