If there’s a winner for the most beautiful town on the Jersey Shore, it just might be Ocean Grove. This pastoral town of around 3,000 people is known for being a laid-back refuge from the nearby hustle and bustle of Asbury Park. It’s also home to some of the best vacation rentals in the state, ideal for families on vacation. There are many strong candidates, but our favorite Airbnb in Ocean Grove has got to be a renovated Victorian house that now sleeps eight. Located on the second and third floor of a stately mansion, this is the perfect place for a larger family looking for a spot right by the beach for an extended stay. Every corner of this Victorian Airbnb is full of stunning decor and great details that will make your latest vacation the best you’ve ever had on the Jersey Shore.
It’s easy to see this massive Airbnb from far away – it almost feels like a castle waiting on the river.
That river would be the beautiful Wesley Lake, which winds through the town. You can sit on the porch and take in the view as soon as you arrive.
But the inside is just as stunning as the outside. This might be a Victorian home, but the inside is thoroughly modern with beachy vibes – and all the amenities you could ask for including wifi, TV, and an outdoor barbecue grill.
There are many great restaurants in Ocean Grove and nearby, but if you want to stay in one night, the full kitchen is very welcome.
You’ll be able to eat your dinner in the dining room, which has stunning views of the outside.
In fact, stunning views are kind of this place’s trademark, and that extends to the four bedrooms.
Each of the four bedrooms, sleeping a total of eight people, has its own distinct decor and vibe.
Our favorite feature here has to be the private balcony, which offers an incredible view of the larger Ocean Grove area and is amazing for outdoor dining on a warm night.
Have you stayed at this Victorian Airbnb in Ocean Grove? What did you think of this unique vacation rental? Let us know in the comments section! You can book your own stay on the official Airbnb listing – there are still plenty of dates available in August. While you could easily spend your whole vacation in Ocean Grove and have a great time, another perk of this rental is that you’re walking distance from the Asbury Park boardwalk, where you’ll find such iconic spots like Pucker Lemonade & Beach Fries and the legendary Stone Pony.
