Historic district OCNJ

Our stay was very nice. Paul was very helpful. We needed an extension cord for mom's rented Electric scooter. He provided one. He had several outside grills to use, with attending accessories. The house was nice. I liked the fact we were in the historic district and read up about it and it's boundaries.

Worth the walk

This is a great little property with owners onsite to assist with every need. It's several blocks from the beach/boardwalk so we used our cars to shuttle grandparents and equipment as needed. The adults rode our bikes or just relaxed and enjoyed the 10/15-minute walk. The tradeoff is worth it though. The property is on a quiet, tree-lined street with little through traffic making time spent reading on the front porch enjoyable. As expected, parking is an issue from Friday to Monday wherever you stay but it is much better midweek the further you are from the beach. We loved grilling in the well-lit backyard and having two outdoor tables to accommodate our large party. Mostly, we appreciate that the home has not been divided into 2 units, enabling all of us to stay in one place and really feel like it was one big family vacation! We hope to stay there again next year!

Great Location and Host was super responsive

We enjoyed our family trip to OC, NJ. The house was perfectly located in walking distance to the start of the boardwalk and even a local coffee shop. We did have a few minor issues during our stay but the host was super responsive and came right over to help us. The property may not be best for those that cannot handle steps as there are 2 flights of stairs. It was nice to have an ice machine and a full kitchen. Make sure to bring towels and coffee. We would stay again if in the area.

Comfort of home

This home was comfortable and cozy but big and spread out enough for four different families to all stay in one home with plenty of room!

Great house in OCNJ

We really enjoyed our stay here. The house is located in a quiet neighborhood, but only a few blocks away from the shops and beach/boardwalk. Space was comfortable and kitchen well equipped. Lovely front porch and rear patio. Host was very helpful and communication was prompt.

Great stay

Nice house in the quiet area of the historic section. Plenty of room for our large family and also pet friendly. Paul the owner was very responsive. Best part is the front porch where we spent a lot of time relaxing. Great coffee shop nearby called Positively 4th Street. Overall great stay.

Great stay. Would definitely rent again.

The house was perfect for our family of young adults with partners and dogs. The neighborhood was quiet and a short walk to town. The beach is a 10 minute walk. There are several coffee shops nearby. The house had a fully equipped kitchen and a backyard with grill. We all loved sitting on the front porch reading, talking and relaxing. We would definitely rent it again.
