About this property
"The Cupcake" Guest House, 2 blocks to the beach in Ocean Grove, sleeps 2-3
IDEAL LOCATION: Two blocks from Ocean Grove’s private controlled-access beach (2 adult beach entry passes included with rental); two blocks to Main Street dining and shopping; 10-minute stroll on the Boardwalk or over the footbridges to bustling, entertainment-rich Asbury Park.
A WHOLE LITTLE HOUSE: You will be renting a tiny and incredibly cute private stand-alone house set far back from the street for ultimate quiet. In keeping with the porch-centric spirit of Ocean Grove, you will cross a small front porch (one step up) to enter your private studio living room with workspace*, kitchenette, separate dining table, plus one bedroom and one bath. Single twin bed in the bedroom, a sleeper sofa (full/queen) in the living area. Great for one or two. Can sleep 3.
* Workspace is a large (four-foot) table, equipped with a 27" Dell UltraSharp InfinityEdge Widescreen Monitor, and powerstrip. Bring your laptop and HDMI connection cable. 1GB Verizon FiOS WiFi.
7-day minimum rental year 'round. Check-in/check-out usually Saturdays-only in summer, but ask us if you need a different day. 7-day minimum still applies. Rentals by the month or of unusual lengths may be available in the Fall/Winter/Spring: Ask!

About the host
Hosted by Catherine
We are Catherine and Scott, we live in Midtown Manhattan with our 11-year-old son Eric. We bought our beautiful 1880 Victorian house with a 1926 guest cottage 2 blocks from the beach in Ocean Grove, NJ to spend a few summer weeks. But because of our business obligations in the city, on many summer weeks our house will be empty and lonely unless you come and stay here, and enjoy amazing, historical Ocean Grove, the largest concentration of Victorian architecture in the US. In summer, we are renting the 3-bedroom house and the 1-bedroom guest cottage by week - together or individually. Labor Day to Memorial Day we are renting on various bases, but always with a 7-day minimum. Refer to our calendar for availability. The calendar reflects both rentals and time set aside for our own use.
