The prime location is just two short blocks from the beach, with four beach badges included. Additionally, it's a block away from a playground and tennis/pickleball courts, making it an ideal destination for leisure and sports enthusiasts alike.

A spacious porch captures invigorating ocean breezes, connecting you to the convivial rhythm of the community. The moment you step onto the porch, everyday stresses fade, and you become a true "Grover." Meanwhile, the rare back patio invites you to grill and dine al fresco, with seating for 8+ and market lights for evening gatherings.

Inside this 1888 home, discover the ideal blend of historic Victorian charm and modern comforts, curated by an interior design pro. The main floor effortlessly transitions between spaces, offering everyone a cherished spot, whether it's a reading chair, the oversized dining table, or a stool at the kitchen counter.

The well-equipped kitchen provides everything you need to prepare delicious summer feasts. Direct access to the back patio makes outdoor dining a breeze after a day at the beach.

Retire to the coziest bedrooms in town after your beach adventures, accommodating up to 12 guests in 2 queen-size beds, 2 full beds, and 4 twin beds. Linens, pillows, and bedcovers are provided; free Wi-Fi keeps you connected. For those who must work, scattered table desks offer a quiet space for essential tasks.

The Sun Shack offers the choice of AC units and ceiling fans in all rooms or, if you prefer, great fresh air sea breezes.

Great beach vacation house

Fantastic house! It had a comfortable layout, was stylishly decorated, well-appointed and had a great location- everything you'd want in a beach house. It was a very short walk to the beach as well as to Main St. with restaurants & shops. We really did not need a car all week, except a for a few trips to the grocery/liquor stores. Ocean Grove was a charming town with lots of very well-maintained historical gingerbread Victorian homes. A great town for children and relaxed adults but very quiet at night (not a party town by any means). But Asbury Park's boardwalk had lots of restaurants/bars and was within walking distance. I'd recommend Langosta Lounge on the AP boardwalk which had a fantastic menu and Watermark for a great rooftop bar if you're looking for a trendy spot for few drinks on the weekend. But we cooked at the house daily and loved the kitchen; it really had everything we needed and good quality at that (nice pots & pans, cultery, etc). The owners didn't skimp on the amenities and you could feel the difference, not like some other vacation rentals. We also loved that the house came with beach chairs, umbrellas and plenty of towels, as well as bikes, so we didn't have to pack these things with us from home. The only drawback I can say is that the beds were hard and not very comfortable. One of the couples in our group bought an egg-crate mattress topper at the nearby Target (15 min drive) which helped. If we rented here again, I'd do the same. The front porch and backyard were great places to hang out and relax too. The front wrap-around porch had a gate that closed shut making it a nice space for being outdoors with toddlers. Overall, it was a great house and location and I'd definitely recommend it. We will likely rent here again.
