The bathroom sink was clogged; the washer/ dryer was turned off at the circuit breaker and had to call the property manager’s number that was directed to a non-working number. The property manager eventually called back and fixed the dryer. The property is run down. The little breakfast nook ghat looked do good in the pictures was overrun with weeds and pieces of furniture. It looked like dump. The location was good and central. The place is good for the beach.
Great location for staying for a family wedding. Convenient to all locations. Communication from owner was great. Looks like it would be great for summer activities. Real small outdoor space but comfortable.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Wesley Cottage. The location is amazing- a short walk to the beach/boardwalk while still being close to the bars and nightlife of asbury park without being on top of it. The house is clean, comfortable and the outdoor areas are adorable. The host was very responsive and easy to work with.
Charming rental with great amenities (beach badges, washer/dryer). The home was very clean and accommodated our needs and provided for a pleasant stay. The beach is walkable, and it is easy to walk into Asbury Park with 2 footbridges close by. The owner was very responsive with a question.
Cozy accommodations with plenty of amenities. Kitchen and bathrooms are small but have everything you need!

Nice eclectic home!
This is a lovely area close to everything! It was clean, in a quiet neighborhood and very nice. The Evolve team was very helpful (especially Darlene). Would stay there again.
The Wesley Cottage is a lovely home. It was very well stocked with everything guests need. Just a 10 minute walk to the beach in Ocean Grove as well as steps from the bridge to the restaurants, bars, and vintage shops of Asbury Park.

Perfect holiday rental
We loved our stay - beautifully and uniquely decorated, comfortable and peaceful home. Ideally located for Asbury Park though Ocean Grove itself is also lovely. Small confusion with timings of cleaners, but both Dan and Evolve couldn’t have been quicker to respond or more helpful and it didn’t spoil our stay at all. Would love to visit again one day, hopefully for longer.
A quaint place with large front room, small functional kitchen with laundry, three bedrooms upstairs (2 full and 1 single), two bathrooms. Very clean! Easy to communicate with owner. FANTASTIC location in Ocean Grove with short walk to Asbury. Antique furniture & decor. Well done!

Just what we needed!
We wanted a quiet week at the shore in the off-season. Grateful to find this cottage with heat as it did get chilly! Everything was as described and hosts were quick to respond to questions.
Beautiful historic duplex. A bit smaller than expected. Instructions included leaving dishes in dishwasher which was misleading since there was no dishwasher. Overall was sufficient for our family stay.
Parking - awful
2nd bathroom is functional but it is a converted broom closet.
The cleaners were still there an after an hour after check in time.
House is in a good location and well maintained.

Stephani, thank you for sharing your insights following your recent stay. Your feedback holds significant value for us, and we've conveyed your comments to the homeowner, who wishes to provide clarifications on the following: - Parking Conditions: The popularity and prime location of our property near the heart of the action may contribute to unforeseen parking challenges. Our home is nestled in a charming Victorian-filled shore town, and the unique demand for space in such a locale can impact parking availability. - Bathroom Configuration: The bathroom you mentioned has been transformed into a far superior European-style wet closet, complete with a shower and a unique shower cover on the toilet paper holder, reminiscent of features found on boats. The small sink has been specially crafted for the space, and this design choice is often appreciated by many of our guests. - Check-In Delay: We were very sorry to hear that you were disappointed with your recent stay at the property. While the check-in time for this vacation home follows the hospitality industry standard, the local property manager is always happy to accommodate an early check-in if possible. In this case, the previous guests were checking out the morning of your arrival, and the cleaning crew needed the time to prepare the home for your stay.We genuinely value your feedback, and we're grateful for the chance to address these concerns. If you have any further questions or considerations, please feel free to reach out. We hope to have the opportunity to host you again in the future. Thank you for choosing our property.
We absolutely love Ocean Grove! This was our first time renting a home instead of staying at our favorite bed and breakfast. The house was just like the listing described—it has such a charming and quaint vibe, and it was spotless when we arrived. Plus, it was super convenient to everything Ocean Grove and Asbury Park have to offer!The owner was really nice and responded to all our questions so quickly, which made our stay even more enjoyable. We would definitely love to come back here again, if the prices stay reasonable!The only little downside was the limited outdoor space, but we really enjoyed relaxing on the porch with our morning coffee. Oh, and the kitchen was a bit tricky to navigate if you wanted to cook up a meal, but we managed just fine. Overall, it was a great experience, and we can’t wait to visit again!
