Diane was a wonderful host, very responsive and the house was clean and cozy. We spent most of our time on the porch and upstairs balcony. We were a group of 5 adults, 2 couples and 1 single, and it was a bit of a tight squeeze--two smaller bedrooms are very small and kitchen is very small--but we spent most of our time on the beach so it hardly mattered. Thank you!

We have stayed at Diane’s house for a few summers and were planning to go back!
Her house is in a great location. Short walk to beach, to Ocean Grove’s Main Street and just across the lake to Asbury’s downtown. The home is very comfortable and clean, while still maintaining the charm of a typical Ocean Grove home. Family room is open to a large eating area and all the kitchen equipment you need, if you choose to cook. The washer and dryer comes in handy so we don’t have to go home with loads of laundry. There are 2 porches , one on first floor and one right off the master bedroom where you can enjoy your morning coffee. The street is quiet so you get a good night sleep and the neighbors are friendly.
Diane was very welcoming to my family and made us feel right at home. My children are 14 and 17 and they can’t wait to go back and stay at Diane’s house!

The kitchen is fully stocked with every appliance and cooking need.
We love the location because of close proximity to Asbury Park. It is a short walk either by path or over walk over the bridge or walk via boardwalk from Ocean Grove to Asbury. Numerous dining options in walking distance.
Five star rating on cleanliness, location and owner.
Plenty of activities in local area or if you just want to relax this is the place for you.
Short walk to immaculate Beach.
Owner, Diane is a great source for area recommendations.

This house is well-equipped and Diane is very responsive to any needs. The space is comfortable and the location is terrific. In one direction, it's a ten min walk to the buzzy restaurants and shops of Asbury Park's Cookman Ave and in the other direction to the OG Beach. This makes it a pretty perfect location because no car is needed. The grocery store (my choice Wegman's) was a quick taxi ride away, but there's a local shop for small necessities a five min walk away. It's also walking distance to OG Main St, a great ice cream shop and a fabulous homemade tea shop. Again pretty perfect spot.
re: the house - The outdoor balcony and porch seating are wonderful. We spent each day on the balcony enjoying the mornings and unwinding in the evenings. The neighborhood activity is never-ending. Some things to be aware of: the stairs in the house are a little steep and the tub with shower head requires some navigating.
I am looking forward to a return visit and would stay here again. Diane is a terrific host.
