Perfect holiday rental
We loved our stay - beautifully and uniquely decorated, comfortable and peaceful home. Ideally located for Asbury Park though Ocean Grove itself is also lovely. Small confusion with timings of cleaners, but both Dan and Evolve couldn’t have been quicker to respond or more helpful and it didn’t spoil our stay at all. Would love to visit again one day, hopefully for longer.

Just what we needed!
We wanted a quiet week at the shore in the off-season. Grateful to find this cottage with heat as it did get chilly! Everything was as described and hosts were quick to respond to questions.

Great location
Beautiful historic duplex. A bit smaller than expected. Instructions included leaving dishes in dishwasher which was misleading since there was no dishwasher. Overall was sufficient for our family stay.

Okay
First of all one of the bedrooms smelled HORRIBLE. I needed to spray and remove a comforter from a bedroom, just to minimize the unappealing smell. I certainly know the house was nicely clean other than that one room, (the cleaning Co. were still there when we arrived after 4:00 pm as required). Annoying yet we understood, (it happens).It does need a little refreshing up with furniture. Not the most comfortable furniture. The house was clean 👍🏻but shabby, not antique furniture. Just OLD! Great location to Asbury Park! That’s a plus.

Fine but keep your expectations in check
Parking - awful 2nd bathroom is functional but it is a converted broom closet. The cleaners were still there an after an hour after check in time. House is in a good location and well maintained.

Claustrophobic
The nice things I will say about the property is that it was conveniently located near family and friends. The neighborhood was nice. The gas stove was appreciated. The negatives were while the furnishings may be described as antique, I will describe as tired. The couch was very uncomfortable. Considering the accommodations, the price was out of line especially off season. The second bathroom, described in the prior reviews as a closet does not amply define the space. It is located in the kitchen and is maybe 30" wide and is only suitable for a male to urinate. The parking near the property was hit or miss and presented a challenge on load in and load out days. My husband loves to cook and we believed that we could have family and friends over for meals. The house was too small and drafty to have such dinners. Working in the kitchen proved to be a challenge due to size and lack of counter space.

The Wesley Cottage is a lovely home. It was very well stocked with everything guests need. Just a 10 minute walk to the beach in Ocean Grove as well as steps from the bridge to the restaurants, bars, and vintage shops of Asbury Park.

Ocean Grove Home
My three adult sons and I enjoyed our stay at this Ocean Grove home. Ocean Grove is a charming, artistic friendly community. the house with a fold out bed in the living room fitted our family. It was clean and the amenities included cable t.v., a washing machine and dryer. I enjoyed eating breakfast in the garden.

We love Ocean Grove!
Our stay at this house in Ocean Grove was fantastic. The place isn't that big but it fitted well with six adults, 1 child and 1 baby. Five adults slept upstairs and there is a comfortable sleeping couch in the living room. We had a nice afternoon using the BBQ in the garden. Ocean Grove is very beautiful, laid back and quiet place. We loved it! The beach is on walking distance. Also a lot of beach stairs etc available in the house. Thanks for letting us stay at your place!

My 1st VRBO rental and am extremely pleased. The scheduling was simple and all was accurate. The owners pride shows in the cleanliness and wonderful little amenities. A quaint and well updated cottage, yet plenty of room for 2 parents and tein 9yr olds. I will definitely rent this wonderful home again. Thank you
