Really enjoyed our time here! We felt right at home. The house has a ton of charm, the front porch is a great place to relax, and the extra lot next door gave the kids plenty of space to play. One feature we especially appreciated was being able to set different temperatures in the bedrooms. Having beach chairs, bikes, coolers, boogie boards, some games and a puzzle available also meant we had much less to pack!The only thing that caught us a little off guard was the surrounding area. Since this was our first visit to this part of the Jersey Shore, we had pictured a more traditional beach-town setting. The neighborhood felt a little different than we expected. That may not matter to many guests, but we thought it was worth mentioning for first-time visitors. That’s completely on us and our assumptions (and yes, I know what they say about assuming ).The location is also a great home base for exploring. We spent half a day in NYC and were surprised by how much we were able to fit in without the drive feeling too long. We also loved Asbury Park Beach and its historic Convention Hall, especially the coffee shop!Overall, we’d absolutely stay here again. The property was excellent, the hosts were outstanding, and we’d happily book it again if we were looking to stay in this area.
