#1317. An awesome week at the Shore.

This home has a special place in our hearts as we spent many summers visiting my brother when he was the owner. They say you can’t go back. We did and we are as in Love with OG now as we were when our now adult daughters were girls. There have been some changes since back in our day, and they were made with Love and care. The kitchen is the best-stocked kitchen we have ever experienced in a rental. We hope to return next summer. Thanks for a fabulous experience.

#1304. Ideal for family stays

We just returned from our second stay at this wonderful house, and our compliments from last year still apply. The house is very close (1-1/2 short blocks) to the beach & boardwalk, and also to Ocean Grove's charming downtown area. Yet, it is on an extremely quiet street. It is comfortable and nicely decorated. Spotless too. The well-equipped kitchen/dining room area was redesigned since last year and is now even better able to accommodate group meals. We also made good use of the stunning backyard area, which has a gas grill. Given that each of the 3 bedrooms is on a different floor and has its own full bath, there is a real sense of privacy. The house has just about everything you need for the beach, including chairs, umbrella, towels, beach tags. The local property manager was extremely attentive and accessible.

#1295. A Peaceful Retreat in Beautiful Ocean Grove

Our stay in Ocean Grove was nothing short of wonderful. Tucked away on a quiet street just a short walk from the beach and downtown, this beautifully updated home provided the perfect peaceful retreat for our getaway.

From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the thoughtful renovations and cozy charm. The newly renovated dining area seamlessly connects to the kitchen, creating an open, airy feel that makes the entire space feel much larger and more inviting—a great spot for family meals or morning coffee.

One of our favorite features was the cozy front porch. Whether sipping coffee in the morning or enjoying a quiet evening with a book, it quickly became a go-to spot to relax and unwind. Just as impressive was the backyard, which offered plenty of room to entertain, grill, and enjoy warm summer nights under the stars.

The layout of the home is ideal for families or groups, with three distinct living spaces that allow for both togetherness and privacy. With three full bathrooms—each tastefully updated—it was easy for everyone to feel comfortable and at home.

This home truly blends historic charm with modern comfort. It’s a peaceful, beautifully maintained gem in Ocean Grove, and we can't wait to return.

Blending Historic Charm and Modern Comfort was exactly what we were after... So glad you felt we hit the mark! So nice to hear that your vacation was peaceful and relaxing. Looking forward to your return in 2026!

#1115. We return every summer. Great location and cute home!

This was my second summer coming back to OG and this home. There is so much to love about the property starting with the location - 1.5 blocks walking distance to the beach and boardwalk and a block away from Main St. not to mention the famous Days Ice Cream!

The house works perfectly for my multi-generational family with the layout of a bedroom and full bathroom on each floor. The basement setup is really great for my young adult daughter and her friends to have a bedroom, full bath and small LR with privacy from the rest of us.

I especially love the front porch for morning coffee and the backyard set up (which is unusally large and fucntional for Ocean Grove). Almost every night we grilled and hosted 8-10 people for dinner using the outdoor dining table and lovely sectional.

The home is clean, decorated very beachy - open and bright. The linens are great quality (and plentiful) as well as the kitchen is well stocked. Lovely week and looking forward to coming back next summer.

#1080. Perfect!

Stayed for a week, 6 adults and 2 toddlers. Perfect location, and a lovely, comfortable home. Close to the beach and Ocean Grove shops, restaurants, and best of all Day’s ice cream. The house has a wonderful porch for relaxing and a sweet patio for bbq-ing, eating, and just enjoying the beautiful weather. Loved that beach chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards, and umbrellas were available for use. Couldn’t have been happier and more pleased! Highly recommend!

Thanks Diane - So Happy we were able to meet all your expectations! Look forward to
Hosting you again...

#1069. Top notch in all regards!

Ideal for our recent family (6 adults + 1 infant) vacation. The house is very close (1-1/2 short blocks) to the beach & boardwalk, and also to Ocean Grove's charming downtown area. Yet, it is on an extremely quiet street. It is comfortable and nicely decorated. Spotless, too. Given that each of the 3 bedrooms is on a different floor and has its own full bath, there was a real sense of privacy. The kitchen is well-equipped. We made good use of the stunning backyard area, which has a gas grill. The house has just about everything you need for the beach, including chairs, umbrella, towels, beach tags. The local property manager was extremely attentive and accessible. We have already made a reservation to return next year!

Thrilled you and your family had a great stay and thank you for the kind words. We are excited to have you back next year!

#1053. Wonderful Stay!

We loved everything about our trip to Ocean Grove! Staying at 32 Olin was perfect in every way. The house is beautiful and updated. Each of the three bedrooms has a private bathroom, so there is plenty of space for everyone. The kitchen and the living room are light, bright, and comfortable. In addition, the backyard has plenty of room to host wonderful dinners. Our favorite spot, however, is the front porch. It is perfectly shaded and cozy - we spent. a lot of time out there!

We walked to the beach each day - a short block and a half walk that was so easy. Finally, we loved the central location and how easy it was to get into the center of town; we were right there! We enjoyed dinners in town and had several trips to Days for ice cream. We walked to Asbury, Bradley Beach, and Avon as all are easily accessible. Thank you for making our 2024 summer trip so great!

Stayed July, 2024

So glad to hear that you had such an enjoyable stay! Sounds like you took full advantage of the ample outdoor space that the house offers, we love to host dinner's on the back patio too. Hope to see you again next year!

#1004. Magical beach house

The most magical beach house we have ever rented! The layout is perfect and only steps to the beach! Private bedrooms offered solace to all in the family…gorgeous gourmet kitchen to cook and prepare meals…quiet office space so my high schooler could study and do summer assignments….lovely backyard to eat and hang out. Wait…it rained! Ahh…the perfect front porch to lounge and read during a summer storm…we have never felt so relaxed and at home during a summer rental. A++++

Stayed July, 2023

Thank you for the kind words Deirdre... Magical is quite the compliment! So Happy our Home played a big role in helping your family enjoy a relaxing vacation. Hope to see you again next year!

#972. A Charming home at the Shore

Our love for Ocean Grove started with many day trips from northern NJ but we wanted more time in this beautiful town, 32 Olin was our choice. From the moment you arrive, you are home. A quiet street full of Victorian era houses a short walk to the beach and local shops with a welcoming elevated porch to enjoy the view. We love to travel but rentals usually require packing a car full of stuff, but not here! 32 Olin has everything you need from 3 beautifully appointed private bedrooms each with a modern bathroom supplied with high-end linens and towels. The kitchen has everything you need in a modern work area and the living area has plenty of comfortable seating for everyone. Should you want to work or read a book, there is a dedicated office/den decorated so you don't feel like you left the beach. The backyard has a gas grill, big dining table and seating for you and your friends. Going to the beach, the chairs and umbrellas are there. My favorite spot was the relaxing front porch. With its comfortable seating, view, and ocean breeze it was a great place to enjoy pastries or ice cream from local shops. A carefree vacation prepared by our hosts. We enjoyed our stay and will be back.

Stayed June, 2023

Carefree and Relaxing are what we aim to provide for our guests... so glad you enjoyed your stay!
Hope to see you again next year...

#791. Summer Fun

This is the second year we have rented with John for two weeks and we couldn't be happier! It was so nice to walk into a home that we were familiar with and the constant upgrades in the home are beautiful. It is such a comfortable space, close to the beach and has all of the amenities you need. We look forward to next year!

Stayed July, 2022

Thanks Lynn... Looking forward to having you back next year!
