About John Gross
I have been so fortunate to have raised my family in this wonderful community in this beatiful home. Ocean Grove provides a wonderful family setting with everything one could imagine. As a former Mayor of this community, I am proud of what this community has become and now I invite you to come and experieince for a short time what our family has grown to love over our lifetime.
John Gross purchased this house in 1992
Why John Gross chose Shore Region
Our home is located on one of the most beuatiful, well kept and friendliest blocks in Ocean Grove. It is just 300 feet to the beach and a 3 minute walk to the downtown business district. I chose our home to raise my wonderful family, pictured above, and they will attest to its special place in their hearts.
What makes this house unique
This home, once a summer hotel with 17 rooms, was converted to a single family home when we purchased the property in 1992. We performed a complete renovation over the next 10 years and recently re-freshened every room.
My favorite spaces in our home include each of three porches overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, the eat in family kitchen on the first floor, each of the two master bedroom suites and the third floor manhatten style loft.

Other Comments
I finally have time to write to you and thank you for one of the best vacations our family has had. Your house in Ocean Grove was wonderful, and suited our family's needs perfectly. It had the right amount of beds, so that everyone was comfortable, a large enough dining room for all of us to enjoy family meals together, and an ideal location near the beach and town. Ocean Grove was a very fine quiet and historical community to visit and it's unique history made the location even more interesting . The amenities you provided were just right. It was a pleasure working with you both . We are not sure of our plans for next year at this time, but I personally would love to return if we can coordinate all of our schedules again. I will have to let you know , but please keep us in mind.

Wonderful!

We had an amazing time!
Thank you to John for being so accommodating. The house itself was great with a bunch of well-sized bedrooms perfect for a group and really nice common space on the 1st and 3rd floors for everyone to hang out.
And the location is amazing - it's literally a 3 minute walk to the beach, about 20 minutes (or 8 minute uber to the train), and easy access to the boardwalk/to get to neighboring towns.
Would highly recommend for a group!
Wonderful stay at the Philadelphia House
Stayed at the Philadelphia house for a family wedding in May, we had a total of 10 people. The house was perfect ! the first night we were able to gather on the top deck to enjoy the ocean view and weather. On saturday while the Noreaster raged outside we all were able to gather on the top floor (very spacious a perfect for a crowd) and enjoy each others company without being on top of each other. The house has a very homey feel, definitely will be top on the list for the next family get together.
Great location, perfect for family gatherings
this was the perfect place for extended family to gather for a wedding. Enough space to accomodate everyone for sleeping and a large open space to gather and be together in a comfortable setting. John was always available if we had any questions or needs. This will be at the top of my list when looking to rent again for a large number of people.
Beautiful house, great experience!
After a last minute blizzard caused us to have to cancel our pre-booked cabin in the Pocono's, we had less than 48 hours to come up with a solution. We were planning a joint bachelor/bachelorette party and had people flying in. We were almost certain our weekend wasn't going to happen until we decided to look in the Asbury Park/Ocean Grove area. Mr. Gross responded almost immediately to our inquiry and was so incredibly kind/helpful. We felt so confident in our booking and sure enough, we were on our way two days later. I cannot express how easy the process was and how gorgeous the house was. Pictures do NOT do it justice and we were in awe when we stepped foot inside. Every room was clean and nicely arranged and it was nice having two kitchens. We even synced up our netflix and hulu accounts and had a fantastic weekend. Our guests could not stop raving (in total there were 10 of us and there were still beds left over) about how much fun they had and how nice the house was. We would love to spend another weekend (or two :) ) again in the near future. Fabulous house, fabulous location, fabulous owner! Cannot recommend enough!
Charming beach house
Charming three story house two blocks from the beach. Great location to walk around town. Perfect for friends or family, though be aware there are a lot of stairs (maybe not the best for older individuals).
Great vacation house!
This house is perfect for families. It's well-kept, steps from the beach with everything you need for a relaxing, fun vacation.
