Photos and Description of the Ocean Grove vacation house rental
1.5 blocks from beach! 8 bedrooms, 4 baths, sleeps 14 comfortably

Walk to the beautiful Ocean Grove beach, the Great Auditorium; to downtown Ocean Grove or to Asbury's hip Cookman Avenue. Newly redecorated, spacious house welcomes you to gracious and comfortable living by the shore. Beautiful crown moldings and stained glass fill the house. The fully equipped, modern island kitchen features stainless appliances, walk-in pantry, dishwasher.

This is a perfect gathering place for housing out-of town wedding guests or holding family reunions all year round. Kids love their own 'den' upstairs; adults chat on the porch, near the fireplace, or around the dining room table.

My home is also ideal for a small professional conference or retreat -- hi-speed wireless Internet connections are available throughout. Two large flat screen TVs with DVD and plenty of flexible meeting space simplify your arrangements. The house is less than a mile from the train station with frequent service to NYC; dozens of fine restaurants are within walking distance.

Further details for this vacation house rental in Ocean Grove, New Jersey

Perfect for gatherings of family and friends: This house is ideal for a family reunion, wedding guests, gal's weekend, or for several couples or families who want a wonderful vacation at the Jersey Shore.

Very few homes in Ocean Grove offer so many bedrooms and baths. This house sleeps 14 without anyone needing to sleep on a cot or sofa bed, and four full bathrooms make it easy when everyone comes home from the beach at the same time! We also provide one roll-away bed for one extra guest. For the diaper set, a port-a-crib, high chair, stroller, and booster seat reduce the gear you otherwise would need to pack.

10 beach tags (yes, 10!) along with plenty of beach towels, beach umbrellas, beach toys, and sand chairs make this a turn-key vacation destination -- you need to pack only your clothes, food, sunscreen, and vacation spirit!

If you want to see more pictures and the floor plans of this great vacation home, visit my own website at

http://www.livingstonelodging.com

The house is perfectly located within easy walking distance to the beach, the Auditorium, downtown Ocean Grove, and the hip restaurants and night spots of downtown Asbury Park. Stroll to my new favorite restaurant on the boardwalk, Stella Marina, and wander over to the Stone Pony nightclub for a brew and good music; who knows -- Bruce Springsteen may show up!.

Summertime in Ocean Grove will make you feel like you've stepped back in time to a more relaxed era. Enjoy weekly fireworks from the boardwalk during the summer; savor ice cream cones from Day's; browse through the two huge flea markets in spring and fall; thrill to an 800-voice choir festival; discover a new artist at the boardwalk art show. Let your kids vie for candy at an old-fashioned Fourth of July parade or take home fish & chips from the Ladies' Auxiliary fish fry. Walk or bike everywhere. Pick tomatoes and basil from the garden and grill the flounder you caught that morning off the jetty.

Nearby attractions: Most of my guests don't want anything more than the beach and boardwalk and shops in town. But, if you like a more high-powered vacation, you can take day trips to Monmouth Racetrack, Atlantic City, Six Flags, or New York City. Rent a boat at the nearby Shark River inlet marina, or take a deep-sea fishing trip with the family. Swoop past the beach high overhead in a paraglider. The kids can learn to fish with free lessons at the Ocean Grove Pier. Several golf courses are available nearby; tennis and shuffleboard at the Grove tennis club.

And for a unique stroll down memory lane, don't miss the Pinball Museum down the Boardwalk in Asbury.

Great House in Great Location

Review Submitted: December 1, 2009 Date of Stay: November 2009
Our family spent Thanksgiving and we had a great time. The house is comfortable and well equipped with room for everyone. Very close to downtown Ocean Grove & the great restaurants in Asbury Park. Fantastic walks on the beach and beautiful surroundings. The perfect family vacation.

Look no further for a Jersey Shore rental!

Review Submitted: June 28, 2011 Date of Stay: June 2011
Wow, what a great property! 13 of us ranging in age from 9-77 called this our home for 4 days and none of us wanted to leave! The house is huge, extremely clean/tidy, updated, comfortable with everything you need. Carol is, hands down, the best "landlord" ever. Aside from her pleasant personality, she supplies all the linens, bath towels, beach towels, hand soap, bath soap (in each of the 4 bathrooms), toilet paper, paper towels, trash bags, games, tv (though we rarely had it on) etc. There are AC's with remotes in all the rooms, though there are nice breezes in the bedrooms and ceiling fans as well.

When you head to the beach (out the door, take a left and walk a short block and a half) all you need is sunscreen-she provides the 10 beach badges, beach chairs, umbrellas, toys, boogie boards, etc.

Without a doubt, if you're looking for a fabulous experience at the shore, in a family friendly environment, then this house is for you!

Owner's Response: You folks were wonderful -- I keep thinking I can't possibly have a nicer group than the last one, and then people like you come along. I'm glad you had a great time and hope to see you back again.

Beach House Rental for Jersey Shore Wedding

Review Submitted: June 21, 2011 Date of Stay: June 2011
My family rented this Ocean Grove home for a long weekend in June. There were 9 of us - all adults - and the house was great because it provided ample space for everyone. The sleeping accommodations on each floor and numerous bathrooms allowed each family unit a bit of privacy, which was much appreciated.

The house and the shops in Ocean Grove were really quaint. The photos posted by the property owner very accurately convey the house, which was spotless and fully outfitted in the kitchen, bathrooms, etc., There was an A/C unit in each bedroom and free wi-fi. What was most helpful was a property manual the homeowner had prepared...it explained all the key features of the house, checkout/laundry procedures, and provided recommendations on area sights, shopping and restaurants. There were even beach passes so we didn't have to purchase those separately.

The beach, which was just 1.5 blocks from the house, was great too although we were a little surprised to discover that it doesn't open until 12:30pm on Sundays. The boardwalk extends along the beach both to the south and north so there's plenty of opportunity to walk the boardwalk. While a little quiet in Ocean Grove, the boardwalk offered more activity within easy walking distanced headed north into Asbury Park. There were restaurants, shops, kids activities, etc.

We felt very safe and comfortable in this house and would certainly recommend it for a bigger group. It's a great old house in an extremely convenient area.
Recommended for:  Girls Getaway, Tourists without a Car, Sightseeing, Families with Teenagers, Families with Young Children, Romantic Getaway
Owner's Response: Glad you all had a good time! A wedding on the beach is always a little risky, but it worked out perfectly for your family.

A Perfect Home for Our Family Reunion at the Beach

Review Submitted: June 5, 2011 Date of Stay: May 2011
Our family of 9 flew and drove in from New York, Connecticut and Idaho to celebrate our aunt's 100th birthday. Carol's home was ideal - from the first floor bedroom, bath and front porch (so our aunt didn't have to walk upstairs), the spacious living and dining room area, many bedrooms and bed configurations, well-stocked kitchen (including the lobster "crackers" and forks!) to the beach toys, umbrella, cards and games for my 8 and 11 year old nieces. Ocean Grove is an ideal location - the beach is beautiful with big waves, very family oriented, and Asbury Park is within easy walking distance for night life, arcade games, outdoor dining on the boardwalk and shops. We definitely plan to return again !

We Loved This Home!

Review Submitted: May 16, 2011 Date of Stay: April 2011
The home is spacious, well-stocked with all sorts of supplies, and extremely convenient to beach/boardwalk areas and Ocean Grove's lovely village. Our family shared numerous meals and much quality time during our week there. From its grand living room and ample dining area to comfortable bedrooms to practical kitchen/laundry area, this home is ideal for gatherings of friends and family members. Carol and Buster are extremely accommodating and helpful. If you are looking for a comfortable place to spend time --- rain or shine --- this property should be high on your list! We loved our time there very much :)

Owner's Response: Austin, you and your family are just a wonderful group -- you could write a book on how to have a good time with people you love. I'm so glad you all had a great time, and hope to see you back here for your dad's 85th birthday!
