Great location in Ocean Grove
We really enjoyed our stay at Ocean Grove. The apartment is in a great location, very close to the beach and town center as well as close to Asbury park. The apartment was as described, spotless clean and very cozy. We loved sitting on the deck in the morning with our coffee. It was easy to find and check in, and very good communication. We would love to stay here again.
The apartment is true to the pictures. The host was amazing. Perfect location - so close to the beach, Asbury boardwalk, Ocean Grove restaurants. Couldn’t have asked for a better place. Would love to stay there again!

Perfect Apartment
We booked the apartment for a week. It was a perfect location to beach and a 10 min walk to the center of Asbury Park. The place was very clean, well appointed and nicely decorated. We’ll visit again.

Excellent Trip!
My wife and I along with our three kids stayed here for 4 nights and had a wonderful time. The beach apartment was so clean and comfortable, and the owner of the property was super helpful describing the nuances of Ocean Grove and recommending places to eat among answering other questions we had since this was our first time visiting the town. The beds were incredibly soft and luxurious. Our kids loved the loft and even the trundle was comfortable. The living room was stocked with games for the whole family and a huge TV. We would definitely book here again!
Ocean Grove is a special shore destination with it’s pristine beach and family atmosphere. All the Victorian homes create a feeling of timelessness. There are several eateries and boutiques to shop at in town. It is never crowded and it is a pleasure to stroll up and down,
The place is just a short walk to the beach and very convenient to restaurants and shops on Ocean Groves Main street as well as all the great places in Asbury Park and the Boardwalk House also has a nice second floor balcony with an nice view of the ocean great for a cup of coffee in the morning or a cocktail after the beach.
Such a lovely property! Beautifully designed, light and airy, quiet and serene. Amazing location. I felt totally zen and at home the second I walked in. Communication with Ashley was easy and fast, she was super helpful and friendly. Recommend this house to anyone!
Our stay was excellent! The owner was very responsive to all our questions and needs. You could not ask for a better location for the beach and restaurants! Parking was easy.... back and forth to the beach was no problem. The house is airy and comfy! Book and enjoy!

Absolutely Perfect
From the extreme closeness of the beach, its proximity to both Asbury Park and main st OG, to the responsiveness and hospitality of the owner, we couldn’t ask for a more perfect month. The ocean and the surroundings were restorative and the apartment adorable and comfortable. Having morning
coffee with true ocean view was An experience in of itself. We’ll be back!
This is our second year renting this property. It is close to the beach, convenient to shopping, and situated on a gorgeous block with friendly neighbors and exquisite gardens.
If you have a dog, this is a wonderful place. There's a little, grassy park nearby that our dog simply loves to visit.
The property owner is extremely professional, trustworthy, cordial and responsive.
Our favorite thing about this property is its homey feel. It's spotless, with cozy furnishings and well-outfitted kitchen. We recommend it to families who like being close to the beach and who want easy access to a restful rental. We will be back!

Comfortable, elegant shorehouse
Beautifully appointed and clean beach retreat. The unit contained everything we needed and more! The view from the porch was wonderful. Sitting drinking morning coffee on the porch while taking in the scenery started the days off right. The very short walk to the beach gave us a few moments to savor the excited anticipation of a day of relaxation. Evening strolls on the newly refurbished boardwalk (trex for comfort) capped the day off. I personally am anxious to see the refurbishing of some of the Asbury Park areas which are a short walk down the boardwalk. This wonderful shorehouse is an excellent value. I highly recommend it.

Wonderful experience!
Everything about this rental was great, from ease of booking to communication to the location to the apartment itself. The apartment is spacious and clean, the bed in the master bedroom is comfortable (we didn’t use the loft so we can’t comment on those beds), the kitchen is well stocked, and the location couldn’t be better. We got married during our stay and had pre-wedding photos taken here; our photographer told us this was the nicest not-at-home place he’d ever shot getting-ready-to-get-married photos. We will be back, and we absolutely will stay in this apartment again.

View and Location Heaven
Sweet comfort if you sleep in the bedroom, but the loft can be noisy, depending on your people's sensitivity. We appreciated so many practical things being provided, but could use random items ( baking tray, dish cloths, more silverware...). Once the weeding and more care is done on the cute patio and walkway, it'll be very lovely and welcoming. Overall, our girls' beach week was great fun chatting on the balcony and short walks to the beach and Asbury Park. Would probably do this again!

adequate
So was a bit surprised to find that the unit I rented was the second floor of a two family house.
place was tired, décor was cheesey, but for the price it couldn't be beat!
Biggest complaint was that the tenants below were smokers! be forwarned!
otherwise all good.
