The house is setup perfectly and very accommodating for our family of four (two kids ages 8 and 9) plus some grandparents. They make access to the beach very convenient with use of the beach locker. There was a bit of walking to access the restaurants of Asbury Park. Overall, we loved our stay.

This is a perfect house for a family with children or older parents. The owners are easy to communicate with and happy to answer any questions you may have. They have everything you need for beach time and rainy days, and you cannot beat the location.

The house was clean, comfortable, and well stocked with anything you could need. A very short walk to the ocean - which you can see from the front porch and top floor balcony. We had a great stay. The location was perfect. Parking was convenient and free (right out front). Neighborhood was very safe and picturesque. The beds were comfortable and the showers were all hot with great pressure. Our group of 7 had plenty room to sleep and hang out without feeling overcrowded. Highly recommend this place!

A clean, cared for house. The balconies let you watch the ocean all day and you can pop in for a swim with a short walk. happy place to stop by!

Colorful and whimsical… every room has numerous things of interest… and definitely provides a comfortable and cozy feel… master bedroom superb and porches were great for viewing the sun and ocean as well as the rain… rocking away with a glass of wine and some familiar tunes… and Lisa is a text away to answer any questions that may arise… a great place to stay and enjoy the magnificence of Ocean Grove…

Lisa’s house was extremely tidy and in the perfect location. Check in was easy and Lisa was very communicative. Our group had an amazing trip!

We had an absolutely wonderful weekend at Lisa's house in Ocean Grove. The location is fantastic with ocean views from the porches and a short walk to Main Ave. The house was very clean, well laid out, well stocked, and even had plenty of toys for the kids. Lisa was really great to work with and quickly got back to me with any questions I had. I would book this house again in a heartbeat!

We have stayed an average of 3 to 4 rental houses per year since retiring in 1999 (including several in Ocean Grove). Obviously each one has its strong points and weak points. And I tend to be fairly critical because I had a background in facility engineering as an occupation. Having said that, “Summer Cottage” is at the top of my list in many categories. The house is very “child friendly” which didn’t mean much to us being a group of 75+ people. But we were very impressed with the things which were available for the younger generation. And we were surprised how clean and well maintained the house is, thinking that it is used by children. Didn’t find dirt – even in the corners. And the interior paint job is absolutely the best I have ever seen. I wish I could do as well! Every day, one of us would notice something additional that we would comment on in a positive way. So let me just list a few of the positives. Good lighting and comfortable seating for reading activities (and plenty of good books), good selection of cooking supplies & utensils, a working Amazon Echo device (which we made good use of), excellent washer & dryer, user-friendly bathrooms with hooks & rods, good hvac system, good internet, décor which is time appropriate to the town, excellent location with the best parking in the town (this is extremely important in Ocean Grove). We found no maintenance issues – which is very unusual. There are great views from the two porches with views of the ocean and the nearby lake. The boardwalk is a short block and a half away. The house has combination locks so we didn’t need to keep track of keys. There are “better than average” written instructions for use of the house and check-out procedures. I could go on and on, but won’t. Really, the only negative comment we would have, is that it has fairly low “curb appeal”. Because of the flood plain, the main living floor is one flight up from the pavement. And the steps are rather rough looking. But we didn’t spend a lot of time on the stairs and were more than willing to overlook that one drawback. We would strongly recommend this rental house but we hope others would not want to pick the same date we want in the future.
