5 min walk to Asbury Park, 4 beach badges, firepit, grill, porch, cool A/C

Imagine this: the fire pit is crackling out back, salt air drifts in off the Atlantic, and you have nowhere to be until the beach calls you tomorrow. The Embury Hideaway is a century-old Victorian cottage, thoughtfully renovated while keeping everything that makes Ocean Grove special. Two bedrooms, a private backyard patio with fire pit, 4 included beach badges, a 12-minute walk to the sand, and the entire energy of Asbury Park just five minutes from your front door. Two towns. One perfect base.

ABOUT THIS SPACE
This building was built over 100 years ago in the Victorian tradition that defines Ocean Grove's National Historic District. The renovation brought it fully up to date, with a modern kitchen, new beds, and fresh finishes throughout, but the original character is intact: hardwood floors, high ceilings, a covered front porch, and the kind of proportions you only find in homes this old. It is comfortable, not cookie-cutter.

THE OUTDOOR SPACE
Blue Adirondack chairs ring a square fire pit in the backyard, a dark-wood dining set sits under a navy umbrella, and a propane grill is ready on arrival. Edison lights extend the evening. Out front, two wicker chairs on the classic covered porch face the tree-lined street, perfect with coffee at 7 AM.

THE LIVING ROOM AND KITCHEN
An L-shaped grey sectional and a 48-inch LG Smart TV anchor the living area. An electric fireplace adds warmth on cooler nights. The kitchen punches above its size: gas range with stainless hood, navy lower island with bar stools, white upper cabinets, granite countertops, full-size refrigerator, dishwasher, coffee maker with bean grinder and complimentary local beans, wine glasses, and a full set of pots and pans. You can cook every meal here or just grab coffee and head to the beach.

THE BEDROOMS
Bedroom 1: Queen memory foam bed, nightstand, closet, hardwood floors. Restful and private.
Bedroom 2: Double memory foam bed plus dedicated desk with office chair. Perfect for remote work or a teenager who needs their own space.

THE BATHROOM AND EXTRAS
One full modern bathroom, cleaned and fully stocked. Beach chairs and rolled umbrella stored on-property. Pack-n-play travel crib available on request. Board games in the closet. In-unit washer/dryer. Keyless keypad entry.

WHO THIS HOME IS BEST FOR
