I enjoyed my stay at this Asbury Park condo. The condo had everything we needed. The beach passes and chairs were a nice bonus. The owner was very responsive and friendly. If you are looking to stay in Asbury Park and want easy access to the beach, this is a great option.

I'm glad you enjoyed your stay. Asbury Park is a magical spot. I hope you come back.
This was a clean, comfortable place for our family to stay while visiting Asbury Park. We were here Tuesday-Friday, and it was easy to walk to the boardwalk for multiple beach trips per day, as well as cool off with our toddler afterwards. We ended up appreciating the separate office for when my spouse needed to take a remote meeting. I hope to return again soon!
We loved our stay here at the condo! The location was amazing, the condo was cute and tidy and perfect for our small family of 3. Loved that we got beach badges and chairs for the beach!! The parking was just a bit of a nuisance in that we had to park a couple of blocks away each night for free parking but we were warned. The only other very very small frustration was with the toilet in that we often had to lift the lid off to adjust the lever so that the water would fill back up. Would most definitely stay here again!!
Nanci was an excellent host--very responsive with exceptionally clear direction. Good recommendations for local eateries. The location is perfect--about a block and a half from the beach, convention center with shops and roastery, and restaurants. The apartment is comfortable (bed is excellent) and very cute: obligatory Bruce decoration accompanied by a very cool poster from a Vienna art show and many other fun eye candy pieces. Wifi is good, television is good in both rooms, kitchen is small, but well-equipped. Parking was not an issue for us--we found the same space on Grand several times. A very good stay!
Everything we needed for an enjoyable weekend. Clean, comfortable, all the necessities in the kitchen, beach passes etc. Host was super helpful with information and parking. Would stay again.
This adorably decorated apartment was the perfect crash pad for the long holiday weekend. Walking distance to the beach, shops, restaurants, and (most importantly) the Stone Pony. The beds were super cozy and there was a pull out sofa in the living room for extra sleep accommodations. Everything was very clean upon arrival and trash/recycling disposal was conveniently located behind the building. Seemed to be a quiet complex. We didn’t really hear other tenants and they didn’t seem to hear us either. Will definitely try to book this again for our next trip to Asbury Park!
