    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.

    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!
