We had a great time at the beach with 3 adults (including a grandma) and 2 young kids. The location is perfect - easy walk to the beach, ice cream, coffee shops, restaurants, bodega, etc. The porch was lovely, as were the neighbors. The beach chairs and wagon were great and came in handy! The town is unique and we found the quiet nature of Ocean Grove to be a nice complement to the noise and excitement of Asbury Park, also a short distance away.The check in and out process was smooth and communication with the hosts was top notch. The house itself had everything we needed, the beds were comfortable, the dedicated office spaces were very important to us and incredibly helpful, and the kitchen was well stocked with supplies and coffee options. It is definitely a house that is lived in, and reflects the flair of the owners, which we found made it cozy, as opposed to a rental that is just for renters and more pristine and sterile. I found the stairs to be fine, but will say my mother who is in her 70s found them to be steep and made her nervous - so she stayed in the downstairs bedroom, which was good! We'd stay here again, thanks!
