About this property
Splendor by the Sea - beautiful ocean views, first beach block!
Now renting for Summer 2025
Lovely cottage-style accommodation (2 bedroom/1 bath) in circa 1890 two-family beach house in Victorian Ocean Grove less than 1/2 block to the beach. Enjoy Ocean Grove's beautiful beaches and friendly and quaint small town feeling. Enjoy the many wonderful events, concerts and recreational activities. Ocean Grove is a charming place to relax and decompress from the stress of daily life. Your place at the beach is well-located on the sunny side of a pretty street in the desirable south end of Ocean Grove just steps to the boardwalk. We are also close to the newly re-constructed pier and steps away from the beach office, showers and facilities on the uncluttered, uncommercial boardwalk. Park and tennis court nearby. The front yard and barbecue grill are available for your use.
This is an entirely non-smoking property - inside as well as outside (porch and yard). As such, it is not recommended that those who smoke book this rental.
This second-floor unit has views of the beautiful Atlantic Ocean from the living and dining rooms with its 13 large windows with safety latches. It sleeps 4 comfortably with 2 pullout sofas for an occasional overnight guest (2 additional persons). The decor is beachy, light and airy. There are ceiling fans and air conditioners throughout. Three beach passes are included with your rental.
For the safety of all of our guests, we have been following the guidelines for enhanced cleaning and disinfection since the COVID-19 pandemic.
Please contact owner for any special circumstances (less/greater than minimum number of days, different check-in day or discount - if available, etc). We will get back to you quickly. Two week minimums are preferred during the summer months, however some weekly rentals are available.. Ask about extending the last week of August into Labor Day weekend, which is early this year.
See also other VRBO listing - "Pretty Beach house in first beach block" with picture of house with blue/white awnings - for 1 bedroom 1st floor apartment also available for rental. At times there is availability in both units. If interested in renting both units send an inquiry. Discounts are available for multiple week and other extended rentals, some are built into the rates.
IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO BOOK ANY DATES PLEASE CONTACT ME. THE CALENDAR ON THIS SITE IS DIFFICULT TO WORK WITH SO GET IN TOUCH WITH ME ESPECIALLY IF YOU WANT TO BOOK DATES AROUND A HOLIDAY WEEKEND. THANK YOU.
NOTE** VRBO recommends paying for damage insurance, it is a good idea and we recommend it also. I have chosen to include the standard insurance option which costs $89. However, if you do not take the insurance you will have to pay a FULLY REFUNDABLE damage deposit of $1000. You will have to contact us to do this.

About the host
Hosted by Debbie

Our family has owned this lovely home for over 20 years. Ocean Grove is a peaceful retreat that we are happy to share with our guests. This historic town has been a special place by the sea for relaxation, contemplation, spiritual renewal, and good times since the late 1800's, and was established for those purposes following the devastating American conflict known as the Civil War.
If you enjoy a family atmosphere, great neighbors, ocean views, Victorian homes, a short walk to the beach, an easygoing lifestyle, history, collecting shells, arts and crafts, great food, a small town feeling, ice cream, and so much more, this is the place for you! It is a quiet throwback to a place like River City Iowa (remember the Music Man?) only with ocean views! We have hosted people from all walks of life, and Ocean Grove is a very welcoming town to all. We are blessed: We have hosted wonderful guests, and are fortunate to have access to a place in the sun, steps from the ocean, in a desirable, diverse, beautiful, clean community. Please help us to keep it that way. It all comes down to respect for each other. Always. No exceptions. We give it, and we expect to receive it back.

Proximity to the beach, good neighbors on a great street that opens up to the boardwalk and beach which is only steps away. Close to the pier and showers. Great views of the ocean. We are on the sunny side of the street, too! Awnings provide shade from direct sun.
What makes this property unique
All of the above and our commitment to guest satisfaction, many repeat guests, appreciative and responsive hosts, beach passes and free laundry facilities.
