Everything I needed

The property had everything I needed to get work done and then head out for a daily surf. It was fun to get to know the owners.

what a shame

The unit is an adorable Studio in a great location. Enough space for 1 or 2. No more. It's a shame it is "furnished" so cheaply. The daybed is long enough if you are 5' 3". The convertible "couch" is old, cheesy, small and difficult to open. The refrigerator was hotel size(2'+). Would not recommend. No apparent effort by owners to offer a pleasant living experience

Enjoyed my stay!

Had a wonderful time at “The Cupcake House”. So convenient to the beach and shops on Main Street. House had everything I needed for a week’s stay. Owners were very nice and really care about their guests! Will rent again next year.

About the host

Hosted by Catherine

We are Catherine and Scott, we live in Midtown Manhattan with our 11-year-old son Eric. We bought our beautiful 1880 Victorian house with a 1926 guest cottage 2 blocks from the beach in Ocean Grove, NJ to spend a few summer weeks. But because of our business obligations in the city, on many summer weeks our house will be empty and lonely unless you come and stay here, and enjoy amazing, historical Ocean Grove, the largest concentration of Victorian architecture in the US. In summer, we are renting the 3-bedroom house and the 1-bedroom guest cottage by week - together or individually. Labor Day to Memorial Day we are renting on various bases, but always with a 7-day minimum. Refer to our calendar for availability. The calendar reflects both rentals and time set aside for our own use.
