About this property

Relax, Breathe in Ocean Air & Make Lasting Memories at this Water Front Property

Ocean Grove is truly a unique town that has kept its charm and brings you back to a time when life was so easy and innocent. Everything is walking distant, so you don't need a car when you are here. The Asbury train station is walking distance from the house or a quick Uber ride can bring you too. Amazing restaurants are in the town of Ocean Grove, or only blocks away in Asbury Park!

Our charming beach house is decorated and furnished to make sure your stay is as comfortable and effortless as possible. House has three spacious floors, recently painted and renovated with new hardwood floors throughout the home.

Ground floor has a private bedroom suite, with full renovated bathroom, and a separate room with new washer and dryer.

Main floor (one level up) is an open floor concept, with large family room and eat in dining room and eat in kitchen. Also off this floor is one of two outside porches, housing two comfy rocking chairs and a picnic table that fits 8.

Top floor (two levels up) has two guest bedrooms, a full renovated bathroom in the hall and a very large master bedroom with a new full bathroom. There is also a wonderful outside porch off the master bedroom, offering amazing views of the lake across the street and the ocean 1 1/2 blocks away from the house. There are three rockers, along with 2 very comfy chairs and a table. Great place for reading a book, or if necessary, working from home!

House also has a refreshing brand new outside shower with hot and cold water. And a driveway and garage which is extremely rare in Ocean Grove which gives you peace of mind to never worry about finding a spot on those busy beach days!

House has central air conditioning and heat and a new BBQ in the backyard. It comes equipped with everything you need in the kitchen, including condiments and spices. All linens and bath towels are included, along with standard staples (paper towels, napkins, toilet paper, dishwasher detergent, laundry detergent, bath soap, shampoo and conditioner), as well as gas for the BBQ.

The house has high speed wifi and three smart TVs, allowing you to use your personal accounts to stream your favorite shows.

During summer months, the house comes with 5 adult beach passes and a locker on the beach, filled with 6 beach chairs and an umbrella.

We are respecting COVID Guidelines for cleaning the house and all surfaces, as well as linens and towels.

Great Getaway
The house was exactly as described and was great for our party of 4, with 4 bedrooms and 3 baths. The location was close to the beach and local restaurants. I would definitely stay again.

Week-long Family Stay
The house is setup perfectly and very accommodating for our family of four (two kids ages 8 and 9) plus some grandparents. They make access to the beach very convenient with use of the beach locker. There was a bit of walking to access the restaurants of Asbury Park. Overall, we loved our stay.

Perfect Family Beach House
This is a perfect house for a family with children or older parents. The owners are easy to communicate with and happy to answer any questions you may have. They have everything you need for beach time and rainy days, and you cannot beat the location.

Great Place in Ocean Grove
The house was clean, comfortable, and well stocked with anything you could need. A very short walk to the ocean - which you can see from the front porch and top floor balcony. We had a great stay. The location was perfect. Parking was convenient and free (right out front). Neighborhood was very safe and picturesque. The beds were comfortable and the showers were all hot with great pressure. Our group of 7 had plenty room to sleep and hang out without feeling overcrowded. Highly recommend this place!

Fantastic House for family vacation in Ocean Grove
We had an absolutely wonderful weekend at Lisa's house in Ocean Grove. The location is fantastic with ocean views from the porches and a short walk to Main Ave. The house was very clean, well laid out, well stocked, and even had plenty of toys for the kids. Lisa was really great to work with and quickly got back to me with any questions I had. I would book this house again in a heartbeat!

Good for All Ages
We have stayed an average of 3 to 4 rental houses per year since retiring in 1999 (including several in Ocean Grove). Obviously each one has its strong points and weak points. And I tend to be fairly critical because I had a background in facility engineering as an occupation. Having said that, “Summer Cottage” is at the top of my list in many categories. The house is very “child friendly” which didn’t mean much to us being a group of 75+ people. But we were very impressed with the things which were available for the younger generation. And we were surprised how clean and well maintained the house is, thinking that it is used by children. Didn’t find dirt – even in the corners. And the interior paint job is absolutely the best I have ever seen. I wish I could do as well! Every day, one of us would notice something additional that we would comment on in a positive way. So let me just list a few of the positives. Good lighting and comfortable seating for reading activities (and plenty of good books), good selection of cooking supplies & utensils, a working Amazon Echo device (which we made good use of), excellent washer & dryer, user-friendly bathrooms with hooks & rods, good hvac system, good internet, décor which is time appropriate to the town, excellent location with the best parking in the town (this is extremely important in Ocean Grove). We found no maintenance issues – which is very unusual. There are great views from the two porches with views of the ocean and the nearby lake. The boardwalk is a short block and a half away. The house has combination locks so we didn’t need to keep track of keys. There are “better than average” written instructions for use of the house and check-out procedures. I could go on and on, but won’t. Really, the only negative comment we would have, is that it has fairly low “curb appeal”. Because of the flood plain, the main living floor is one flight up from the pavement. And the steps are rather rough looking. But we didn’t spend a lot of time on the stairs and were more than willing to overlook that one drawback. We would strongly recommend this rental house but we hope others would not want to pick the same date we want in the future.

The total package!
I NEVER write these reviews - but felt this was so extraordinary that I had to write this one. This OG property is amazing. It is incredibly clean, convenient, roomy, and has every thoughtful amenity you can imagine. If you are looking for a stress-free beach vacation, this one is IT! From the moment I booked, Lisa the owner was unbelievably attentive to my every question. She was available by text to answer anything and even communicated just to see how we were doing! I could not have asked for a better host. I stayed here with my daughter, my son-in-law and their two children ages 3 and 8. Everyone has his or her own space; I even had my own little suite downstairs when I needed to get away! Lisa even provided superb toys for the kids, extra condiments, wonderful books and so much more. The beach locker let us walk the block to the beach without dragging chairs, umbrellas, etc. and the hot outdoor shower was perfect to use to remove sand before going into the house. I would absolutely stay here again - just checking out my calendar. Thank you for everything, Lisa!

Beautiful beach getaway
We stayed at Lisa's home for a beach bachelorette getaway and it exceeded all our hopes and expectations! Perfect location whether you want to spend time at the beach or explore Ocean Grove and Asbury Park (easily within walking distance). Everything was clean and exactly as advertised in the listing. Plenty of space for us to hang out, and we especially loved all the sweet personal artwork and other touches around the house. The picnic table and rocking chairs on the deck were also a favorite spot to have breakfast and relax before starting our days. Lisa was a wonderful and attentive host, and very easy to communicate with. If you're heading down to Ocean Grove, you want to stay at this home!!!

This property has everything you need for a seamless vacation. The location and views are amazing from the porch or upper deck. OG is a great hidden gem with Victorian architecture. Stroll the streets and take it all in. All I can say I can say is “Book It!”

Wonderful beach house
One of nicest vacation stays we have ever rented. House is very comfortably set up for guests (with the exception of lack of a plunger in a house with modern bathrooms but an ancient main drain that clogs.) It has a good battery of cooking equipment, a grill in the backyard, kids books and toys - NOT the usual motley assortment of second rate toys and kids books that got left at the beach. But it would also work for a family with teens or 2 couples. Two ensuite bathrooms: one is a 2nd floor show-stopper with balcony, the other on the ground level. Porches overlook pond that separates Ocean Grove form Bradley Beach, Walk to beach is easy enough for a 2 and 1/2 year old. modern washer/dryer. Did I mention how pretty the house is inside? Walk in or sit on the porch and it feels like a a holiday.

Wonderful Ocean Grove weekend
The house is beautiful. It’s comfortably and tastefully furnished and is well equipped with everything you need. The location can’t be beat. Just a block from the beach with a view of the lake and ocean from the front porch and sun deck. There is also a locker on the beach with beach chairs and umbrella. We were a group of five women on a weekend retreat. The space worked perfectly for us. The hosts were very accommodating and easy to communicate with. We hope to return.

Great Location! Comfortable home!
This is a great rental property! The house is so well taken care of and feels like you are staying at the house of a friend. The kitchen is the best equipped I have ever seen for a rental. We cooked a new year's eve feast and had more than everything we needed to make the intricate meal that was planned. The listing is very accurate so that you get a very clear picture of the setup at the house. It is very close to the beach. I brought a stroller for my 3 year old and never needed to use it since we were so close to the beach. The owners are very available and prompt to respond to any questions.

Weekend getaway with friends
My wife and I were traveling to Asbury Park with some friends and came across Lisa's house. The location of the house is perfect, it's right on the beach and is walking distance to Asbury. The house itself is beautiful and well maintained and the pictures don't even do it justice. Additionally the check in/out process couldn't be easier and Lisa couldn't have been more accommodating to our various requests. I highly recommend this property if you are looking to visit the area.

Awesome beach house
First, I want to say how amazing Lisa was in ensuring we had a great stay. The whole experience felt like I was dealing with a family friend that cared about us. She checked in at times to make sure everything was ok which I sincerely appreciated. Once we checked-in, we knew we picked the right place. It was super clean and cozy. The owners obviously care about upkeep because there was precisely 0 issues with the place. It honestly felt like a home away from home but with an added bonus of being close to the water. My kids are already asking if we can stay there again next summer. I would definitely book this place again in a heartbeat.

Perfect Weekend at the Shore
My family and I decided to go down the shore at the last minute to get out of the heatwave in the city and this was clean and nice and comfortable AND super close to the beach (you can see it from the porch)! Lisa was so nice to work with and made everything very easy. We walked to Asbury for dinner and had a great time walking around the cute town of Ocean Grove.

Stayed here with friends for a wedding in Asbury Park. Beautiful house and great location. Beautiful view of ocean from porch and master bedroom. House is updated and clean. Fully equipped. Outdoor shower is great. 1 min walk to OG beach. Very close to Asbury Park. 20 +/-min walk to Asbury Park beach. Check out list a little long for a spot that includes a cleaning fee, but owner is communicative and helpful. Would recommend.

Wedding Weekend
We decided to rent a home rather than a hotel for a family wedding in Asbury Park and this location was absolutely perfect! The house was equipped with everything imaginable and then some ... our grand daughter even had toys to keep her occupied! The home is decorated beautifully - has a wonderful flow with comfortable furniture to lounge on or farmhouse tables for cards and games. A very easy short walk to the beach; having lockers with chairs and umbrellas stored at the waters edge was another pleasant surprise. Lisa and her husband were extremely accommodating throughout the entire process. Will definitely returning for another visit soon!

Hidden Gem in a perfect location
We were looking for a house to attend an event in Asbury park. Price/location were the most important. This house had both, along with a beautiful interior and great water views. With the boardwalk within a block, we were able to walk everywhere. Bedrooms were perfect for our group. The house has the old charm of a shore home, with very nice bedrooms and views

About the host

Hosted by Lisa Bond

Host profile image
I am a working mom of three kids, who fell in love with the beach in my childhood, vacationing every summer with my parents at my grandparents in Mattituck, eventually summering in the Hamptons at my aunts' as a teen and college student. I discovered Ocean Grove while on a hiatus from work - researching the possibility of owning and running a bed & breakfast. Instead of a B&B, we fell in love with the charm of Ocean Grove and purchased our house. I went back into Corporate Retail America and work in NYC. Ocean Grove, remains my most favorite spot to decompress & make lasting memories with my family. My house is truly a place to just kick back, and enjoy life and the beach!

Why they chose this property

Ocean Grove was a peaceful get away from NYC, that we have loved for over a decade. We now enjoy it with our children, who have also fallen in love with it. Our house is so well suited for the perfect beach vacation!

What makes this property unique

Our house is fully equipped with all the necessary comforts of your home. Spacious floor plan allows for easy family & friends gatherings. We also have a very rare feature, a drive-way in Ocean Grove, which is such a benefit with parking challenges. You will always have a spot in the driveway and always a spot across the driveway on the street!
