This 4-bedroom Victorian home is located steps away from one of the most beautiful beaches in the world in quiet Ocean Grove. The house has a large airy front porch, four bedrooms, 1 1/2 baths, dining room, new kitchen and appliances, living room and TV sitting room. Built in the 1880s, the house has undergone renovations, yet maintains its original cottage character. There are ocean views from the front porch, living room and two bedrooms and the beach is seconds from the front door. Many pieces of original antique furniture are still in use throughout the home. This house combines the history of an Ocean Grove cottage with clean uncluttered updates.
*Please read House Rules below to be sure this house is a good fit for you.*
The house is located in the National Historic District of Ocean Grove and is surrounded by nearly a mile of antique Victorian homes. Ocean Grove is a quiet peaceful town and is a quick drive or train ride from Manhattan. A walk around town reveals meticulously maintained Victorian structures and a storybook setting of canvas tents clustered around the majestic antique wooden Great Auditorium. The impressive Auditorium holds worship services, concerts and events and houses a massive antique pipe organ. Ocean Grove has a great lineup of activities throughout the year, including a town-wide flea market, antique car shows and house tours. This home is a quick five-minute walk to the shops, bakeries and restaurants on Main Avenue in Ocean Grove. The beaches of Ocean Grove and Asbury offer great surfing and swimming. (We like to check out the waves from bed in the morning!)
In the mornings we like to open the two front doors and let in the ocean breeze. The porch is the perfect shady spot for morning coffee or a glass of wine in the evening. Hydrangea bloom along the front of the house and the sound of the ocean can be heard inside and out. A stay at our home feels like stepping back into Ocean Grove's early days when families would retreat to the shore away from busy lives.
The home's interior is bright and calm. The first floor has a dining room with antique furniture and a large dining table that seats six or extends to seat eight. The completely renovated kitchen has solid wood cabinets, butcher block counters, an antique farm sink, and open shelving featuring reclaimed wood and subway tile. The clean white refrigerator, gas stove, microwave and dishwasher are new. The kitchen retains its lovely vintage built-in pantry. Washer and dryer are in basement off of the kitchen and there is a half bath on the first floor. Built in shelves hold rainy-day games and collection of art books. The sitting room and living room adjoin and feel like one large open room. The living room boasts views of the water from its large windows and its door opens out onto the porch. There is wireless internet and a television with cable in the sitting room. The living room is a favorite spot for reading, writing postcards and gazing out at the water after a long day at the beach.
Upstairs are the four bedrooms, all furnished with the home's original antique furniture. Each room has its own large closet, dresser and air conditioner. Three bedrooms have full beds and one has two twin beds. The master bedroom has ocean views from the bed and another has views from its two large windows. The full bath is located on this floor. Bath towels, linens and down pillows are provided for each room. (Please bring your own beach towels).
We provide four beach badges for use during your stay. Bikes can be rented from the Ocean Grove Hardware Store on Main Avenue.

Vacation was great, house is in a great location. My husband is very tall and the house has low ceilings in certain locations- only negative.
Great place less than 100 steps from the beach.
This charming, comfortable home has a porch that draws you to it like a magnet. We loved sitting in the rocking chairs, reading on the cozy couch or watching the sunrise. It's an easy stroll just a half block to the beach and boardwalk. You’re close enough to the water to benefit from ocean breezes and the porch is in shade for most of the day. Beach, restaurants, coffee shop are all in easy walking distance. It was wonderful to be able to park our car and not use it until departure.
A wonderful week by the shore. Amazing location steps from the beach. Enjoyed rocking on the porch with the ocean breeze. We especially loved the big dining room table for game night; the outdoor shower; and the fully stocked kitchen. Highly recommend.
We always enjoy Ocean Grove and this is our favorite rental. It’s comfortable, clean, charming, quirky, walking distance to OG & Asbury Park shops/restaurants, and 1st beach block. It’s everything you hope for from a Shore rental for a family vacation.
This charming Ocean Grove Victorian, a one-minute walk from the ocean, was a perfect setting for our Christmas family gathering. We loved being able to jump out of bed and race over to the beach to watch the magnificent sunrise each morning. We loved walking on the beach, so peaceful in the quiet season. We loved the fully-equipped kitchen to cook our breakfasts and dinners in. We loved the cozy comforters on the beds, even better than home! We wouldn't hesitate a second to book this wonderful home again.
Immaculate home. Kitchen well thought out with exactly what we needed. Comfortable,welcoming feeling when you walk in. Front porch perfect all day. Would LOVE to rent this home again
