Cozy and comfortable! Excellent location. Easy walking distance to beach and, most importantly, only one block to Day’s Ice Cream shop.

Charming and so well-located!

I loved my stay at Zephyr Cottage. It's about 2-1/2 blocks to the beach, right down the street from Day's Ice Cream (if you know, you know) and the Great Auditorium. The place was immaculate and had everything that I needed. There was a lovely little side porch where I could eat breakfast in the morning. I hope to come back sometime!

Great Location

Cozy apartment very close to Asbury Park. Owner lives upstairs and is very responsive. Shower stall is a little tight, we are on the small size so we had no issues, but someone larger might.

Relax and Enjoy

Perfect location very close to the restaurants and shops of Ocean Grove on Main Street. A very short walk in the other direction to Cookman Ave. in Asbury Park for their restaurants and shops. Short walk to the beach. Beach badges that were included were a plus. The apartment was perfect for two people. The shower was tight but manageable. Having a park on the side of the house was also a nice addition. The apartment is as advertised. Looking forward to our next visit.

Perfect Peaceful Place

My son and I so enjoyed staying here! The shared porch opens to a park and we met our neighbors and my son was able to learn some German while they played and the parents relaxed on the porch. The kitchen is good and the washer/dryer was a plus. Very small shower, so keep that in mind, but the area is incredible. Quiet and quaint! We will return.

Ocean Grove Stay

A cute little one bedroom in Ocean Grove, very near the beach and the Main Street that has all the shops and eateries. North side of Ocean Grove so easy access to Asbury Park. Quiet neighborhood. Adjacent to nice park. Easy communication with owner. Pictures on site are accurate.

Adequate

Good location and accurate description of property. The space is tight, especially in the bedroom and kitchen. However, a few upgrades would be helpful, such as kitchen. These include a new coffee maker (broken lid), toaster, serving bowls, matching silverware, sharp knives, clean kettle. Beach chairs an DC umbrella were good.

Jonathan, you are correct that the property is as described. There is no toaster listed in the amenities nor in the detailed description of the space (which you said was accurate). The coffee pot was not broken but I did see that you removed the lid from the pot. No worries though, I snapped the lid back on and since you didn't actually break it I didn't put that on your review. This is our smallest unit and you booked for the minimum allowable stay which normally would not include beach tags however, since you seemed so concerned about beach access that you asked twice before your stay, we graciously lent you our personal badges. In fact, you seemed so concerned about spending time on the beach I offered you a 3 hour early check in - no charge. I see this was your first time using this platform so a bit of advice, when your host leaves you a bottle of wine and comes to introduce themselves and ask specifically if you need anything - use that time to raise any questions you have. Also, please ensure when you place trash in a can that you actually secure it in a bag so it doesn't leave a mess of eggshells everywhere. Again, I chalked that up to you being a new traveler and not used to sharing another person's home.
