Adorable cottage walking distance to beach. Bike rode every day 14 miles along Ocean Avenue which was blissful. I had fantastic weather every day which was great since I’m a total beach person. Ceiling fans and air conditioning were wonderful since it was a very hot week. Loved having 2 televisions, one in bedroom and other in living room. Wish there was a blender

Hi Kim Yes we have a blender . It is located in the cabinet above the refridge. Such a pleasure to meet you. See you next year .
Had the best two weeks in July in Diane’s cottage. She is a great host and was incredibly accommodating. Perfect stay for 2-3 people and very convenient for downtown and Asbury. Highly recommend!

Thank you, Diane, for a lovely stay and great conversation on top of it : ) Your place IS like a “Doll House! It IS immaculate. It IS a Cozy Little COTTAGE, AND it IS most definitely the epitome of OG charm!
We loved our stay, and you made it very comfortable, beachy, and homey. We loved making breakfast and having it in the back courtyard area, and at the end of walking many miles each day, it was nice to just sit on the front porch and relax. AND since your cottage is so close to Wesley Lake and across the lake is Asbury, one night, we even had a free concert while sitting on the front porch by a solo guitar player and singer who was quite good and pleasant to listen to : ) We think he was from this music academy right there across the lake in Asbury.
We most definitely recommend Diane's sweet cottage! That is, of course, when we aren't staying there, which we most definitely will be next year <3
Thank you again, Diane!

A friend and I stayed at the cottage for one week in September 2022, as we had a few times prior. Diane is so accommodating and kind. She always makes our stay super! The cottage is to us a little slice of paradise because it is so cozy, cute, well-appointed, tastefully decorated and has every comfort! We loved having a little wine and cheese board in the evenings on the front porch, the very close proximity to the beach and everything, the adorable bedrooms, kitchen and living room! Beach passes, chairs and a buggy are available to make for an easy walk to the beach. We loved sitting with our feet up watching tv in the living room of "our home away from home". The cottage as we call It is, one of the best places to stay in Ocean Grove and is near and dear to our hearts.

My husband and I and our daughter had a beautiful week at Diane’s rental house. The house was just as described, so cozy and only a few short blocks to the beach and a quick walk over to Asbury Park. The house was adorably decorated and very clean!!! It was a perfect place for us to spend the week, and Diane was so lovely to work with. We are hoping to book again for next year. Thanks so much Diane.

We loved staying here last year for a week. We are a family of three and were quite comfortable. We loved the charm, convenience and location. Diane has made the cottage inviting, full of light and with fun vintage touches. A great little escape!

Diane’s cottage on New Jersey Ave was a perfect 3-month off-season rental for my husband and me (Oct-Dec). Diane has done a great job of furnishing and equipping the place with just what we needed! Although small, it has 2 bedrooms and we were able to have friends stay, who also loved the Cottage. The front porch is a great spot for breakfast or enjoying the afternoon or evening and the location near the footbridge to Asbury Park is perfect. Diane is also very responsive to any questions or needs. My husband and I highly recommend this rental!

I stayed at this cottage for 2 weeks. It was just what the doctor ordered a relaxing time in Ocean Grove. I have spent many summers in Ocean Grove and this cottage was above and beyond what I expected. The host Diane provided me with beach passes, a beach buggy, beach chairs. this cottage is perfect for two or three people. I had a few friends visit while I was there and they commented on what a great bargain it was.
the only drawback was bringing my own sheets and pillowcases but in this era of covid, it made perfect sense to do so. It's about 4 blocks from the beach and two blocks to the center of town.
