Cute, clean, updated
Location and rental were great- everything worked and seemed new and updated. Beds were very comfortable. Porch was so cute ! Only beach items included were towels. Did not matter for us. One block to beach and close to boardwalk. We wanted to stay longer.

Thanksgiving in OG
We have stayed many places both fall and summer. This had everything we needed for our weekend stay and more home- like than a hotel room - loved seeing the sun rise and know it was only a block to beach

We love Ocean Grove for its quiet and proximity to Asbury Park's vitality. This rental was clean and well appointed.

Beach block apartment
Great location in the NE part of Ocean Grove. While parking is always an issue in Ocean Grove, we were lucky to find a spot around the corner on a very busy Saturday (Annual, giant flea market). Furniture in living room comfortable as well as the queen-size bed. Kitchen accessories somewhat limited, e.g., kitchen towels and utensils for cooking. Even though there’s a dishwasher, some of the eating utensils in the drawer were laden with dried up food particles! So, soaking and washing these utensils and a few plates was the first order of business after unpacking our stuff. I would have given 5 stars for cleanliness had it not been for the above referenced issues. The front porch is well equipped and spacious. Upstairs neighbors are friendly.

Comfy cottage
The property mostly met our expectations, small but comfortable, close to the ocean, easy access. Lack of parking is a problem. The pictures of the living room in the listing made it look spacious and airy. The actual living room is dark and cramped. Not accurate at all.

Perfect place for 2 adults & pug
Property was neat & clean, exactly matched online pics, and was very comfortable for 2 adults and 2 pug dogs. We had no problem with electronic door lock or any appliances. We especially loved the spacious bedroom. The closeness to the beach & Asbury Park boardwalk made the stay terrific! It is only a 10 minute walk to the main town stores, as well. Only negative is we would have preferred shades in the living room as you can see in at night with only the lace curtains. We loved our first time in Ocean Grove & this place was perfect for us!

Beautiful cottage for 2
Our cottage is less than one block from the beach and broadwalk which we enjoyed every day. The cottage was clean and big enough for 2 of us and our dog. The neighborhood is beautiful and safe with plenty of parking in the street. The bed is comfortable but a little noisy. The kitchen has everything you need. Our stay here was great.

SO CLOSE TO THE BEACH!!
Had a wonderful time! This spot is perfect for a small family or couple. The convenient location to everything was perfect! It was a short hop, skip and a jump to the beach...(literally 1/2 block) and where we were also able to stroll a lovely (and scenic) few blocks into town in OG for some Nagel’s ice cream.... then to Asbury for dinner at the many restaurants. I grew up coming down to Ocean Grove for vacation every summer and am happy that my husband and little girl now love it as much as I do.

Lovely spot! Exactly as advertised.
The location is great — a couple of minutes and you’re on the beach. And quick walk to th he main drag in ocean grove and Asbury. The accommodations live up to the description. Very well taken care of and well appointed. Perfect place for a couple or an individual and it’s so great that they take dogs And the host is very accommodating — I needed a couple of things for the kitchen and she provided them right away. I’ll come back!

The beach house was very clean and updated. Great location!
Overall the experience was very nice. Loved that it was dog friendly. Worked out well with our dogs. Had some trouble with the front door lock, but owner was great and help w/the problem. In the description says sleeps 4, but is hard with the location of bathroom being in the only bedroom. And if it sleeps 4, there should be 4 beach badges. Loved the supply of towels and sheets and coffee, tea and napkins etc. in kitchen. Parking is difficult but that goes with the type of area it is. Otherwise a pleasant experience. Would consider renting again.

Clean, lovely, everything you need
We had a wonderful stay in this rental. Everything we needed was clean and nice, and it was quiet and peaceful. The porch was wonderful to just sit and enjoy the ocean breezes. It was very convenient to the beach, and I highly recommend!!

A little jewel!
This lovely, neat one bedroom, one bath was the perfect size for us. My husband and I really enjoyed having coffee on the porch. It is well stocked with essentials and the beach is at the end of the street. Asbury Park is a short distance on the boardwalk
