Haifa includes such nice towels, extra toiletries, and a darling welcome gift.…. We loved it so much.’’ – Samantha ‘’The location is exceptional - just a couple of blocks from the beach and very quiet. The house is super cute - we appreciate that it is one of the oldest in the area but it felt so up to date! Very clean, the a/c kept it very cool. Haifa was a fantastic host - very welcoming and communicative. Highly recommend!’’ – Deborah ‘’The house is in an incredible location and in close proximity to the beach and about a 10 min walk to the restaurants and bars. Haifa decorated the house very thoughtfully and had plenty of kitchen tools, bedding, and beach items. The 3 outdoor seating areas plus the grill were a wonderful addition…. We truly enjoyed our time—we even extended our trip an extra day! - Alyssa ☆☆ BEDROOMS + BATHROOMS ☆☆ Unwind in our 2 relaxing upstairs bedrooms, each featuring a Queen bed.

It has lots of character and charm, but please also expect the quirks that come with an older home, such as wonky floors. The house has been thoughtfully decorated in a vintage style, and feels like a cozy home. ☀ The staircase is narrow and a little steep. For most people it's not an issue, and we've had many children stay here too. However for seniors or people with any mobility issues, you may want to keep this in mind before booking. ☀ Ocean Grove is all free street parking. It can get busy in summer especially on weekends. We're in the quiet end of town so it's usually not too hard to find a spot here. There's also a small beach parking lot at the end of our street, which is free when you show your beach pass. ☀ Absolutely no loud parties allowed. We use the NoiseAware noise decibel monitoring system. Smart tech alerts us to sustained loud noise at the property & messages the guest (no sound is recorded, only noise levels are monitored). Repeated alerts will result in guests being asked to leave the property without refund. We love our neighbors and want to ensure they are not disturbed. Guest access You will have private access to the entire home for the duration of your stay, including the front porch & upstairs balcony. You’ll also have use of the back patio with BBQ, shared with our sister property The Albert. Free street parking is available. We also provide 2 beach cruiser bikes. I live in NYC but am available for anything you need, and aim to always respond promptly. Other things to note *Please note that the local Township of Neptune requires hosts to get a Certificate of Occupancy for each new guest, before they can check in. Once you have booked, you'll need to provide us the names of each guest, and contact info for the main tenant - we will take care of the rest.
