UPDATES FOR 2020 SEASON
We know this is an unusual year. And while we can’t guarantee anything—except a comfortable stay near a beautiful beach—we want you to know four things we are doing differently this year.
1. SUPER WI-FI—knowing some people will need to do some work this year, we have installed Fios’ “Gig” wi-if. The speed will amaze you—I know we are amazed—and even if it’s a rainy day and everyone is using a device, the speed will still be spectacular.
2. EXTRA CLEANING—we have wonderful cleaning staff, as our returning guests can attest. And, in addition to their usual great work, they will be using an antimicrobial spray on hard surfaces in the bathrooms and on the door knobs.
3. FRESHLY LAUNDERED PILLOW COVERS AND COVERLETS FOR EACH NEW GUEST—we continue to use our insanely comfortable LLBean 100% Pima cotton sheets. And this year we have swapped out our quilts for gloriously lightweight “Cumulus” coverlets, which we launder with each change in guest group. We also provide freshly laundered "Allerease" pillow covers for each new guest group.
4. FAMILIES ONLY
AND NOW, WELCOME TO THE HYDRANGEA HOUSE NJ!
The minute you walk into this immaculate, well-appointed home, you'll know you're at the beach. From the comfortable furnishings to the huge wrap around porch, to the outdoor shower, everything you need for a completely relaxing beach vacation is at your disposal.
What makes our Hydrangea House special?
o BEACH LOCKER--contains 6 chairs and umbrella. Even though we are only four blocks to the beach, the locker is the difference between a carefree stroll to the beach and one loaded down with paraphernalia. We know. We didn't always have a locker. Now that we do, we will never give it up!
o FOUR BEACH PASSES provided. (Priceless.)
o BEACH TOWELS provided--who wants to bring those on vacation? All linens and bath towels included, too. (And we pride ourselves on high quality towels and bed linens. All 100% cotton...soft and comfortable.)
o OUTDOOR SHOWER--private, and open to the blue sky. Hot and cold water--get rid of beach sand and emerge refreshed for your evening on the front porch or on the town. And, our shower connects to the first-floor bathroom--how convenient is that?
o SURFING LESSONS--You'll find Summertime Surf located at the end of our street. Kids surfing, women's weekends, surfing for all. If we can help you connect with Summertime Surf, let us know.
o WALK EVERYWHERE--okay, you have to make that obligatory drive to Wegman's, but after that, you can park your car and not move it for the rest of the week if you like. Walk to the beach, walk to town, walk to Asbury Park (via boardwalk or PA Ave and over the footbridge), walk to Bradley Beach. Freedom!
o BEACH HOUSE GAMES--we have a closet full of them. Puzzles, Connect Four, Candy Land, Life. You name it.
o OUTDOOR DINING--because there's nothing like sitting on your spacious Ocean Grove front porch, having dinner and watching the world go by. Morning coffee is good there, too.
o COMFORTABLE BEDS, sofas and chairs--because we like comfortable upholstered goods ourselves, our furniture comes from Mitchell Gold, Crate and Barrel, and Shiffman bedding. And we use insanely comfortable, 100% Pima cotton sheets from LLBean, named the best sheets by a leading consumer magazine.
o BEACH LOCKER! Did we mention this vacation maker?
Just bring a toothbrush and a bathing suit!
Please note: Our rates are "all in." No charge for normal cleaning. (NJ Taxes and the VRBO service fee are separate from our rental rate.)
While we can't guarantee a refund for cancellations, we make every effort to re-rent a canceled week and will make a refund to the extent of the re-rental rate.
From June 30 through Sept 1, we rent in 7-day blocks, Saturday changeover day.
Finally, we require a signed rental agreement, a copy of the signer's driver's license and a fully executed Certificate of Inspection (Neptune Township requirement). But don't worry: we'll send you the documents via email. They are due back to us within 48 hours.

In case you didn't know, Ocean Grove was named one of Fodor's 15 Best Beaches for 2014:
Ocean Grove, NJ, one of the Jersey Shore's finest year-round seaside resorts is known as 'the Jewel of the Jersey Shore.' Ocean Grove has the highest concentration of authentic Victorian architecture in the country. This national historic treasure offers one square mile of natural beauty, including pristine beaches, tree-lined streets, serene boardwalk and parks, music & lecture programs, unique eateries, and a quaint shopping district.
Only an hour’s drive from Manhattan (to the north) and 90 minutes from Philadelphia (to the south), Ocean Grove is a weekend, summer, and year-round destination for domestic and international travelers. Ocean Grove is also easily accessible by train and bus via New Jersey Transit.
Summertime in Ocean Grove is filled with arts and craft shows, giant flea markets, guided historical walking tours, house tours, performances by famous named artists at the legendary Great Auditorium and much more. The Ocean Grove Boardwalk connects to the Bradley Beach Boardwalk to the south and the beautiful and hopping Asbury Park Boardwalk to the north with its shops, restaurants, chic lounges, casual bars and other entertainment venues.

We had a great time at the house. It is conveniently located to the beach and shops of Ocean Grove and close enough to Asbury Park if you want to walk there. A big bonus is the beach locker with chairs and umbrella. We also loved the porch and being able to eat out there. Marybeth is a great host and easy to to communicate with if needed. Would definitely come back again!

Stayed for a weekend. House was great. Met all of our needs and well accommodated. The outdoor shower is a must!!! The vintage range/oven is super cool too. The neighborhood in Ocean Grove was beautiful with lots Victorian-inspired homes. Access to beach and boardwalk was fantastic. Asbury Park was also a gem! Would definitely stay again.
10 / 10Outstanding·Sep 2019
Marybeth was an absolute pleasure to work with and the house was super charming and incredibly well-located (beach, Main Ave, street parking, Asbury Park, Bradley Beach & points south, etc.). And if I could rate the porch separately, I'd give it 6 out of 5! What a lovely family vacation, the last week in August seemed a smidge slower than earlier in the month/season and was the perfect time.
This traditionally Ocean City, NJ family now views Ocean Grove as another amazing Shore experience.
Thank you so much, Marybeth, trusting us with your home.

The house is perfect for a family vacation down at the Grove. Easy walking distance to the beach and all the restaurants at Asbury. Marybeth was incredibly helpful with sharing all of the going on in town and is gracious enough to share her locker full of beach chairs that make the trip so stress free. Highly recommend.
