We have stayed at numerous VRBO and other home rental services. Unfortunately, this property was not described accurately by the owners. We are healthy senior citizens who can use most hosted facilities without any problems. We had intended to use one of the three bedrooms for friends in their seventies. The room was described as accommodating four persons, having bunk beds and “two twin beds”. The twin beds turned out to be “floor beds”( the owner’s words). In other words, a twin mattress on the floor and a three inch thick mat on the floor We realized that two of our 75 year old friends who were planning to visit would be unable to use the “floor beds” .Also, please be advised that the house comes with mice.Previous guests had commented about their presence .Not only did we see numerous droppings but we recorded a mouse which joined us in the living room. We told the owners about this during our stay and they did nothing to remedy it. After six days, we asked for a full refund only for week two. Our request was rejected. Efforts to have VRBO assist us went nowhere. The owner may respond to this review with personal attacks but will likely not address the complaints, which has happened with previous guests.

We had another great year at this "Gem by the Sea!" Great location, nice cute little town with many shops, and a nice home away from home.

We loved staying at the Creamcake in Ocean Grove. The house was exactly as advertised, clean and welcoming. The location couldn't be beat, so close to the beach and Main Street. We especially enjoyed hanging out on the upstairs porch watching the goings-on each day. Catherine and Scott were a special bonus, kind and interesting people we really enjoyed talking with. They were quick to respond and help in any way they could. We can't wait to come back to Ocean Grove and look forward to staying at the Creamcake again!

My family and I have stayed here before and we will be coming back every year. The house is very cute and beachy and it has everything we need: a great front porch, two blocks to the beach, and an upstairs porch perfect for sleeping out! We think Ocean Grove is the best!

Great vacation spot

Great location, with a wide porch, AC in all bedrooms and bright, lively colored rooms. Owners were friendly. With a few more accessories it would be five star!

We were excited to rent the Creamcake as the pictures provided in the listing looked fantastic. We have stayed in Ocean Grove before at another rental and enjoyed our time and the attractions the area provides. Unfortunately upon arrival at the Creamcake we could see the photos on VRBO did not provide an accurate account of the conditions. First thing the floors were so dirty that we could not allow our baby to crawl on the floors. There was sand, dirt and food items everywhere. We contacted the manager and requested a vacuum as one was not on site. Later in the day the manager provided a vacuum and swifter so we could clean. We did appreciate this however expected the place to be cleaned prior to our check in. None of the beds were made, just a pile of sheets sitting on the bed. There was sand on the mattress’s which required cleaning. Several of the sheets had stains and could not be used until washed. The place looked as if the previous guest’s had left 5 minutes before we arrived. Everything just was not where and how it should have been. We had to wash a few pots and pans before we could use them because they were still dirty. Many things need updating to provide a comfortable stay. The garbage cans outside were overflowing with a complete bag ripped open and garbage everywhere. I guess the previous renter did not put cans out for pick up. So I had to clean up the mess and drag the three cans curb side for pick up or we would not be able to take the trash out. This could have been checked out by management prior to our arrival. We stay at rentals many times throughout the year and don’t mind cleaning throughout our stay to maintain cleanliness however it’s not something you want to do the day you arrive and certainly not cleaning up after the prior guest. Our last night we saw mice run out from under the basement door cross the kitchen and dissapppear into a large hole in the kitchen floor. We would certainly never rent the Creamcake again but would not hesitate to return to Ocean Grove.

My adult children joined my husband and myself for our second stay in this home and 3rd in Ocean Grove. We love the home and the area and the owners are great people and want your stay to be perfect! Will be back next year!!!
