We had a wonderful stay at this modern beach home in Asbury Park - perfect for our 3 generations. The location was great with plenty of on street parking. Although Grandpa preferred to drive to the beach, it was an easy walk for the parents and their 2 children, ages 8 and 10. The house has an open layout on the main floor and is beautifully appointed, clean and well maintained. The kitchen was well equipped with utensils, supplies and staples and the amenities were as advertised . We especially enjoyed the large grill and patio in the evenings with enough seating for 6. Kurt and Seth were terrific, very accommodating and certainly made themselves readily available to answer any questions or concerns (although we had none!). Having never been to the Jersey Shore we were not sure what to expect. Asbury Park seems to be undergoing a regeneration and the eclectic town and neighborhoods made it interesting. Beach passes were required for all adults (kids under 12 are free) and are available all along the boardwalk. Wegmans, a terrific grocery store about 10-15 minutes away, has everything you could possibly imagine. About 35 minutes north along the shore is Highlands, where we took a pedestrian ferry to E 35th Street to spend a fun day in Manhattan! What a treat to see the NYC skyline from the boat. It was a very convenient, comfortable and much faster way to get to the city. Another day was spent in Pt Pleasant, about 30 minutes south along the shore. The boardwalk there is filled with carnival type games and restaurants as well as a small aquarium. We did not get into the music scene in AP but know that there is a lot of music happening during the week. We had a wonderful time in AP and would certainly recommend this home to friends or relatives looking for a place to stay and enjoy the beach and all that the Jersey Shore has to offer.
