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, a place of Methodist Christian pilgrimage for more than 150 years (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 nightlife and entertainment: Walk there through the quaint 1800s town to either of the two footbridges -- or take the Boardwalk, at the beach and oceanfront.
WAIT! DID WE MENTION THE CUPCAKE?
* The Creamcake's adjacent ultra-cute 1920s "Cupcake" beach cottage is a separate rental (lookup "Cupcake Guest House") - with a living room, separate bedroom, full kitchen with dining area, and single bath with shower. Sleeps 3. Not connected to The Creamcake - a totally separate tiny house, one of the most-photographed residences in Ocean Grove. If you need more space, check to see if The Cupcake Guest House is also available for your dates!

About the host
Hosted by Catherine

We are Catherine, Scott and our 10-year-old son Eric. We live in Midtown Manhattan and bought this charming 1880 Victorian house 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 stay here! You will enjoy amazing historical Ocean Grove, where every walk is a tour of the largest concentration of Victorian architecture in the US. June-through-September we rent our 3-bedroom house only by the week or longer, check-in and check-out on Saturdays. October to Memorial Day we generally rent by the month, sometimes by the week. Send us an inquiry containing your need and we will discuss.
