This was the 3rd time we stayed at Beach Haven—we love it so much that we have booked again for next season! It is just perfect for our family—large bedrooms, lots of baths, a kitchen to die for, decks to sit on, and so convenient to the beach we love to sit on! Couldn’t ask for more!

Wonderful!!!!!! From the easy check-in ,to the well appointed kitchen we wanted to stay 2 more weeks. The house was lovely and immaculate and the bedrooms were large and spacious. The entire family agreed it was a perfect week. After the little ones were asleep you could find the adults on the second floor porch overlooking the ocean. The location allowed us to get the beach quickly as it is only one block away. This home is a real gem in the quiet community of Ocean Grove and we are all hoping to get back there soon.

Fantastic house near beach for families or groups

Booked house for a family get together and could not have been happier with our choice. The bedrooms are all large and spaced out well across the top two floors - master BR is fantastic. Plenty of bathrooms for everyone. Great entertaining space - tv/rec room with deck/ocean views upstairs and a big and more then well stocked kitchen with dining room and living room downstairs. Already talking about when we can get back again. Owner was very responsive and helpful.

Amazing time at the beach!

We had a three-generation family of 10 stay in Ocean Grove for a week and we took advantage of every aspect of the house. We’ve spent much time in OG and it is truly rare to have such a beautiful old house that is fully upgraded - AC, modern kitchen and bathrooms - and as spacious. The location can’t be beat - one block from the beach, two blocks from Main Street with a beautiful view of the ocean and other flower-lined yards down the street. Everyone loved the big kitchen, plus a dining table large enough to accommodate all of us and then some. We spent ample hours in the afternoon on the porches, enjoying the breeze and quiet. Every bed was comfortable, bathroom convenient, kitchen cabinet stocked. And plenty of beach gear! Thanks for a great stay. We’ll be back!

Amazing House and Location

We have rented many houses in Ocean Grove through the years. This is, by far, our best experience. The house was very clean and the location was great!! The house was very well maintained and everything was in working order! There were times when renting other houses that we had to make repairs to things or change light bulbs, etc. everything was well taken care of. Rooms were spacious and very comfortable!! We would definitely recommend this rental to family and friends!! Really liked the cooler drawers in the kitchen for drinks, freeing up space in the refrigerator!

A great family gathering!

Our family rented this house for a long weekend in order to be together for a memorial service. We all traveled from outside of NJ and we were so happy with the accommodations and our host was excellent with communications. The house is beautiful. It was super clean and spacious for all the adults in the house. The kitchen is top notch with updated appliances and all the equipment you would need. There was plenty of comfortable places to relax and spend time together. Even though we rented in late October we had beautiful weather and took advantage of the 2nd floor porch that had great views. The house is one block from a beautiful beach with a boardwalk that we walked on every day. This is a fabulous house and a fantastic location and I would rent this again in a second.

Absolutely terrific

This is the second time we’re staying here, and it was—like last time—an 11 out of 10. The property is beautiful, the walk to the beach is nothing, and the porch and balcony are the perfect Ocean Grove charm we come for. There is plenty of space for kids to play, bedrooms and showers galore (not waiting your turn for a shower after a long day at the beach is a total plus), and the master bedroom is one of a kind. The house is clean and updated, but it is still very homey and has tons of character—beachy but with Victorian charm. The property manager is available at the drop of a hat if you need anything, but he is totally out of your way so you feel totally comfortable to go about your business. Can’t say enough!!!

Perfect in every way

Our second stay at Beachaven was just as memorable as the first. This lovely Victorian is perfect for family beach vacations with our teenage and adult children and is only a short block from the beach and boardwalk. The house is clean and beautiful inside and out, the kitchen is modern with every amenity you could ask for to cook gourmet meals. We enjoyed many fun meals and game nights around the large dining room table. There’s also a nice, sunny breakfast nook in the kitchen and bar chairs around the kitchen island for breakfast and lunch. The five bedrooms are spacious and the beds are very comfortable. Ceiling fans in every room provide an extra breeze, and the AC was refreshing after a hot day at the beach. The family room and porches are great gathering areas with views of the ocean and the corner lot allows full enjoyment of the ocean breezes. The primary room also has lots of windows with an ocean view. And, when needed, there is a nice office area in the large, primary suite. The bathrooms are modern, well-appointed and the water pressure is fantastic. The decor is inviting and comfortable and the house had everything we needed for a luxurious beach vacation. We hope to stay there again on future visits to Ocean Grove.

About the host

Hosted by Janet Bustrin

We have always loved the Victorian homes of Ocean Grove. We find the combination of the quiet charm of Ocean Grove next to the vibrancy and excitement of the restaurants, shops, galleries, and night spots of Asbury Park the perfect combination. Having a beach house just an hour away from our home in South Orange, New Jersey is ideal. We always look forward to spending time at the beach and sharing it with you!

Why they chose this property

We like the scale of the house. Its rooms are large and spacious. Being a block off the beach is important to us. We love to cook and entertain, so having the recently renovated gourmet kitchen is exactly what we needed. Because the house is on a corner lot, the rooms are full of light. With two large porches we knew this would be a great place to enjoy family and friends.

What makes this property unique

The large 2nd floor family room with its wet bar and direct access to the 2nd floor porch makes a terrific central gathering point. Perfect for watching a movie or sporting event or a game of foosball. The large master bedroom is full of morning light and has a great view of the sunrise over the ocean. The front porch is the perfect place to sit, read a book or share a beverage with family and friends as the sights and sounds of Ocean Grove pass by.
