THE BEACH: Ocean Grove Beach - on Fodor’s "15 Best Beaches in the World" list - is renowned as the Jersey Shore's best swimming beach. The beach is not always free to the general public, but it will be free for you. During peak summer hours it is a paid-access beach, for which it is necessary to have a beach pass badge. Your rental of Creamcake House includes 4 'beach badges' to use during your stay. Children under 12: Free.

* beach chairs, umbrellas, beach wagon, cooler, beach & bath towels supplied

DID WE MENTION THE CUPCAKE?
* The Creamcake's adjacent 1920s "Cupcake" beach cottage is a separate rental. 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. Search for our separate "Cupcake Beach Cottage" listing here on AirBnB.

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.

Charming small Victorian beach house
Perfect home for a small family with a short walk to the beach, as well as main street shops and restaurants. Nice safe neighborhood to stroll around in and admire the Victorian architecture. Hosts were friendly and accommodating and very responsive to messages. We enjoyed time here!

Delightful Week
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!

About the host

Hosted by Catherine

Host profile image
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.
