Romantic, Way Better than Hotel - Block from Beach Free Wifi - Enhanced Cleaning

*** LAST MINUTE AVAILABILITY DUE TO CANCELLATION JUNE 1-10th! Nestled on the side of a 4BR Villa, our little "mother-in-law" apartment is a perfect weekend getaway retreat. Perfect alone or with that special someone, this apartment is a jewel. Brand new with sitting area, kitchen, beautiful bathroom, and only steps from the beach. This one-bedroom apartment with a Queen bed is rented often together with the full villa (4BR) but if the main house is rented separately or we are there and don't have family or guests, we'll let you in on the biggest kept secret in OG. Amazing quality in comparison to the price of a hotel room at the Asbury Hotel. Come for a weekend, check out the Stone Pony or Madam Marie's! But then come to the quiet. You'll fall in love with Ocean Grove.

We have beach badges for you, beach towels, and beach chairs. And lots of recommendations!

The suite is absolutely adorable, and very clean! The extra touches of things like fresh flowers on the table made it so welcoming. The location was perfect- quick walking distance to the beach and the shops on Main Street. Libby was very helpful and kind. We couldn't have asked for a better stay!

Absolutely an amazing stay! House is adorable and so welcoming. From the decor to the cleanliness is 1st class. For getting away for a weekend this little Hidden Jem was our ticket to relax and rejuvenate. A 10 STAR rating is so much more deserved.

What a gem!

Top marks for this beautiful and spacious in-law apartment just a block from both the beach and Main Street. The host provided a smooth and comprehensive check-in process, reached out during our stay to ensure we were satisfied and added some thoughtful touches to make our stay a happy one. The host's care and upkeep of the apartment is evident and welcome. Can't recommend this property enough - we're already planning our next stay.

We look forward to our annual visit to ocean grove and this is our second time at this property. Without hesitation we will continue to book here as it’s the perfect suite for my wife and I to spend the weekend. A short walk to the beach, and all the shops and restaurants in OG, truly perfect location. Libby is a great host always available and responsive! Can’t wait for next year.

Beautiful little apartment by the shore

We really loved out stay at Libby's adorable apartment in Ocean Grove. Very tastefully decorated and just felt warm and inviting overall. We loved the convenience of being only a block away from the beach and Libby provides you with two beach badges, towels and a locker on the beach with umbrella and chairs. We look forward to staying with her again soon!
