We (9 of us!) enjoyed a truly Joyful August week at this magnificent home in Ocean Grove. This recently-constructed home stays true to the Victorian-era feel of the historic homes on this beautiful boulevard to the beach. I have not been in a more luxurious rental vacation home @ the Central Jersey Shore. Ocean views from three floors of porches! (And a second floor main bedroom that is essentially an entire floor!)
The property is turnkey-ready for use, as it includes beach towels, beach wagon, umbrella and 10 adult + 2 jr/sr beach tags for access to the nearby OG beach. The kitchen (Viking Range) is also well-stocked with utensils & warps/foils, etc.
(I note that we had a small issue during our stay, which was handled promptly & professionally by the superb property manager.)
This is certainly a "top-$$$" location, but IMHO you will be very happy staying here if it is luxurious comfort in a traditional historic-look beach-house setting that you seek. Additionally, the basement is a great additional dine/hang-out area.
Lastly, a few comments for those non-familiar with "The Grove": (1) the beach badges provided are a GREAT thing, as all of the local towns charge $$ for beach access. (2) The OG beach is (currently) closed until noon on Sunday. (3) Fri/Sat parking can be challenging, as it's all non-reserved on-street. (4) It's a short oceanfront walk to the Asbury Park boardwalk & a modest walk to the main shopping of Cookman Ave.
