This first beach block century home has been artfully renovated and features a beautiful open floor plan with original hardwood floors. Each of the 5 bedrooms has their own full bathroom which makes it ideal for large groups.
Authentic victorian architectural pieces and leaded glass are peppered throughout this former B&B. The house is ideally located and is perfect for family and friends to gather in the large open kitchen and dining room. The porches have spectacular ocean views and two of the upstair bedrooms have access to a large porch with panoramic ocean views. During the summer months we only take 7 day rentals from Friday - Friday- until AFTER Labor Day (the first week in September). SIX BEACH BADGES come with this rental PLEASE note that rates listed are firm. All bookings will require an $1000 security fee due upon booking and returned a week after your stay once the property is inspected for any damages/lost items. The primary renter must present a valid driver's license and we do not host proms. Renters must be 26 years old or older.
This former B&B is in a quiet family neighborhood for the summer! IF YOU ARE A BOISTEROUS GROUP THIS HOME IS NOT FOR YOU. The neighborhood is charming and VERY QUIET as the homes are extremely close together.
This renovated century Victorian has an open first floor plan with large eat in kitchen, 5 comfortable bedrooms, 5 full bathrooms (5 bedrooms have their own bath!!), 2 large porches with ocean views, private outdoor shower, renovated kitchens, living room, washer/dryer, cable, A/C, 3 blocks to town (3 blocks to Asbury Park), gas grill, sleeps 10.. AT THIS TIME...NO MORE THAN 10 GUESTS CAN STAY. $1000 fee for more than 10 people.
No pets.
DURING THIS TIME, we are strictly adhering to the guidelines that are being set as well as taking the following precautions. We have:
- Upped the cleaning staff and timing between rentals to sanitize the house
Even though we don't currently run it as a B&B (it was a running B&B when it was originally purchased), we decided to maintain my B&B and mercantile license. With that said, we must adhere to all fire/safety codes and the house meets (and exceeds) all of the required standards. This is important when considering a rental since many owners renting their properties are not required by law to meet these standards. All of these certificates are posted in the house.
There is an additional $200 LIGHT CLEANING/LINEN FEE that is added to each week as renters are asked to leave the house in the condition it was in when they arrived. Note: these are one of the lowest fees you will find for this size/type of home.
There is an $1000 refundable security fee added to each booking.

We always stay at 14 Surf and are never disappointed. Excellent accommodations and the owner always makes us feel so welcomed. We love Ocean Grove. It’s a great vacation for all ages and one of the safest beach towns anywhere. We love it!

We had a wonderful vacation at 14 Surf in OG. The house was spacious, charming and perfectly outfitted for a comfortable stay. The home has been renovated perfectly maintaining the charm, yet modernizing the kitchen and bathrooms. The decor of the entire home was beautiful with ample space for clothing and storage. All bedrooms have a full bath which was perfect for our family and we enjoyed both outside porches with great views of the ocean. The house is very close to the boardwalk and ocean and in a prime location at the north end of OG. The owners were gracious and offered advice on dining, shopping and were available anytime during our stay. We hope to stay at 14 Surf again soon!

Amazing! It was perfect for our sibling get together. The house was welcoming as well as immaculate with much attention to detail, comfort and charm. Sunrise from the porch was gorgeous and a must see for me every morning. Our host, Annie, was wonderful - very attentive, responsive and thoughtful. This is definitely on my list of places to stay at again!
Stayed September, 2022
The house was great! Beautifully decorated and lots of room for everyone. The beds were comfortable and the bedrooms were set up nicely, with enough bathrooms for everyone. The kitchen was well set up and had everything we needed. We loved spending time outside on the first and second floor porches and especially enjoyed being only one block away from the beach and the boardwalk. Ocean Grove and Asbury Park have so much to offer. Special thanks to our host Annie. We appreciate your hospitality and look forward to visiting again in the future.
Stayed August, 2022
Annie is an excellent host! Communication was easy and enjoyable. The house was immaculate on arrival and the kitchen was very well-appointed and stocked with all the equipment and comforts needed for cooking or carrying in. Annie graciously received a large delivery of groceries before check-in, which we really appreciated.
The house is a block & a half from the beach (<100yds?), and within walking distance of restaurants, etc. We never used our cars after we arrived.
We were a group of 4 couples from all over the US reuniting (many) years after college and we had a wonderful time.
I highly recommend this property

BEST RENTAL EXPERIENCE EVER!! Annie is the most warm and welcoming host-extremely responsive and helpful! We rented this house for a girls weekend and Annie went as far to give us recommendations for meals and places to go! The house is perfect! Extremely clean; well organized; the individual bathrooms are a huge plus; the details down to shelf paper and labeling are fantastic, the kitchen, living, and dining area is absolutely perfect for gathering and hanging out; the location cannot be beat with walkable access to everything in Asbury Park; the access to the beach is so easy; and the views from the decks are breath taking!! You will NOT be disappointed with this house! A true hidden gem! We can’t wait to go back!
