Perfect Location

My friends and I had a wonderful weekend at The Chelsea. So close to the beach as well as town which made everything seamless during our stay. We had plenty of space for our group of 17 and it was nice to be able to grill one night. Lark was a great host and look forward to another trip to the house in the future.

Fun week at the Chelsea

House and proximity to beach excellent, plenty of space. Some drawbacks - no yard, some tv’s didn’t work, some beds need upgrade, biggest negative- need to launder sheets and towels before 11 am departure- very annoying responsibility for vacationing people paying this much. Overall we had an amazing week!

Only one complaint - and one minor annoyance.

We had a great time. The house fit our needs. The kitchen was all that we needed. The minor annoyance was the AC which was not adequate for the 2nd and 3rd floors. The complaint is that for the amount of money to rent the facility, having to wash and dry the bedding was totally unnecessary.

Wonderful Stay With Group

Lark was a very responsive host and the property was perfect for our needs. As a large group seeking to rent in Ocean Grove, our options were limited, but Lark’s house was an easy stay. The kitchen and location were especially nice - well maintained and steps from the beach. Our only quibble was that the low amount of beach passes necessitated some juggling to get everyone on the sand during peak hours, but this wasn’t a major issue.

Perfect spot for our group

We were in town as part of the nonprofit A Walk On Water and needed a large space to house several of our volunteers. Lark's house was perfect! Lots of separate beds, great kitchen to cook our meals, and amazing communication. Already planning on staying here again next year!

Family gathering at the Chelsea

This was our second family reunion staying at the Chelsea and it has all the components for a comfortable stay. Great kitchen and dining area, lots of rooms to suit all needs, washer and dryer, air conditioning (it was very hot the week we were there) and a wonderful porch to chill on all day. Best of all, it is so close to the beach...… and a reasonable walk to Asbury Park for a different vibe. The owners are very friendly and quickly respond to any issues. Our family had a great time....hopefully the lottery gods will be with us so we can return again soon.

Why they chose this property

We raised our children here and rent our home to cover expenses. Our space is 6 properties to the beach. Park and enjoy walking access close enough to the beach and boardwalk so you can go easily for snacks, forgotten items or a break from the sun. Walk to town, Asbury Park or any of several towns along the Atlantic to eat out, shop, nightlife or just enjoy the views.
In driving distance you can enjoy outlet shopping, Six Flags Great Adventure, Antiquing, explore Red Bank, Point Pleasant’s amusements and bars. Visit Spring Lake’s quaintness, Belmar’s beachfront bars. And you return to a quiet place to sleep.

What makes this property unique

As a former boarding house, the Chelsea Ocean Grove offers several rooms with personal sinks. Our kitchen has a coffee station set apart (to avoid being mowed down by coffee seekers while cooking.). Our porches offer a place to relax above the fray.
