Nice stay. Place is cosy but Rob is a delightful host who presented it tidy and clean. The outdoor spaces are very usable so that provides extra space. I wouldn’t try to squeeze 9 adults into the house, and even though we were worried about 5 adults and 4 kids in a smallish space, it worked fairly comfortably without feeling too cramped, largely due to the outdoor areas.Walking distance to beach was very doable even with small kids, which was excellent on busy beach days where car parks are hard to find.Rob’s communication was prompt and clear, which we were very grateful for.If we were to ask for one thing it would be the addition of wifi, which isn’t installed, but as Rob correctly explains the simplicity of the house is what enables him to keep rates down, which worked well for our group’s preferences in the pricey Xmas holiday season. If you’re looking for a cost effective stay close to ocean grove beach, I would definitely recommend Rob’s beach house.

Fun Family Getaway

Comfortable home needing some maintenance. Off street parking was difficult to access with large vehicles and not appropriate for a boat. Only one toilet located in the bathroom which became difficult to navigate at times. A clothes dryer would be handy in cooler weather. Overall a great stay.

Delightful cottage in excellent Ocean Grove location

Delightful, well appointed cottage just a short walk from the river, the surf beach and the Ocean Grove shops. Perfect spot for a relaxing beachside holiday. North facing deck captured the sun and was ideal for long lunches, evening drinks and relaxing with a book. Attractively decorated house had everything needed for stress free holiday.

Incorrect availability

Property showing available when in fact in was not available. No contact, I had to call and sms to confirm after the 24 hours that in fact the property wasn't available and we wouldn't be charged.
Response from VrboOwner on 5 July 2023
The stayz booking system was changed around that time and was very clunky and a bit hard to drive for non tech savvy operators.
