IN SHORT:
This gorgeous pink-colored 1880 home is one of Ocean Grove’s most unique and historic Victorian-era houses. It features original wide-beam antique pumpkin oak floors, and a large original stained-glass accent window. Coveted central location offers ultimate convenience with very short walks not only to the beach, but to all of Ocean Grove’s most iconic destinations, such as the famous 1904 Day's Ice Cream Parlor, The Great Auditorium, a place of Methodist Christian pilgrimage for more than 150 years (all are welcome), The Beach Pavilion, Thornley Chapel, The Bishop Janes Tabernacle, and the shopping, coffee shops & restaurants of Main Avenue Ocean Grove. The Creamcake is also just a quick stroll away from pulsing Asbury Park nightlife and entertainment: Walk there through the quaint 1800s town to either of the two footbridges -- or take the Boardwalk, at the beach and oceanfront.

WAIT! DID WE MENTION THE CUPCAKE?
* The Creamcake's adjacent ultra-cute 1920s "Cupcake" beach cottage is a separate rental (lookup "Cupcake Guest House") - with a living room, separate bedroom, full kitchen with dining area, and single bath with shower. Sleeps 3. Not connected to The Creamcake - a totally separate tiny house, one of the most-photographed residences in Ocean Grove. If you need more space, check to see if The Cupcake Guest House is also available for your dates!
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

About the host

Host profile image
We are Catherine, Scott and our young son Eric. We bought the historic, pink (!) 1880 "Creamcake House" 2 blocks from the beach in Ocean Grove in 2017. You will enjoy our amazing little town, where every walk is a tour of the largest concentration of Victorian architecture in the US. We rent our 3-bedroom house by both the week and the month, depending on the time of year. Send us an inquiry containing your need and we are happy to discuss.
