A Perfect Getaway

We rented this house for the holidays and it could not have been more perfect! The house came with everything we needed and had plenty of space. It was cozy and warm. The location was perfect --walking distance from stores and restaurants. We already decided we want to come back next year if it is available!!

What a perfect house for a perfect vacation!

This house is absolutely beautiful. Immaculately clean and stunningly furnished and decorated. It is a long walk from the beach but they provide bikes so we rode every day to the beach, town of Asbury and Ocean Grove as well. There’s a lovely porch and backyard area with a fire pit that was awesome. A magical and memorable time for me and my family.

Great home, hosts and place to visit - will be back!

My two friends and I stayed at Sean and Brad's lovely home in Asbury Park for a reunion. The first floor of the house and the basement apartment combined to provide 3 comfortable bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, two of which were updated with state-of-the-art fixtures. The house was very spacious, nicely furnished and well supplied with everything a guest could need. We really felt like we were staying in someone's home and not a rental. There is a lovely porch and a backyard as well. Sean and Brad couldn't have been any more welcoming or nicer to us. Asbury Park and nearby Ocean Grove have great restaurants and we loved walking on the boardwalk. We had a wonderful time and hope to come back in the Fall.

Wonderful Property! Great Communication from Hosts!

My friend and I were looking for a quiet retreat with some fun options nearby and this was exactly what we needed. This home was cozy and well-organized so everything was easy to find. We loved the gas fireplace on the main level, and were impressed with the selection of streaming services available on the tv!

Wonderful family get-together near the beach

This house had everything my siblings and I needed to enjoy a long weekend near the beach. We loved riding the bikes to the beach, usually with one person driving to bring the beach chairs and umbrellas, also provided. The bathrooms have been recently modernized and are quite stunning. The kitchen and rest of the house is not renovated, so has a comfortable, lived-in feel. We appreciated the porch especially, which was a great place to hang out. The sofa bed in the Fireplace Room was reported to be unusually comfortable. All in all, good communication with owners and the perfect late summer experience we were hoping for.

Fantastic stay at a beautiful, immaculate, well stock house with very responsive hosts

The house is beautiful and included everything on the listing plus more. The location is reasonably close to the beach, and the house is beautifully furnished, roomy, and was spotlessly clean. All of my interactions with the hosts was very efficient and helpful. I stayed there with a female friend and our teenage boys and we all agreed that if we came back to Asbury Park, which we likely will, we would rent this house again. Highly recommend.

Family Fun at the Big Blue House

We stayed at the Big Blue House for three nights for a family beach vacation. My husband and I have a 4 year old and an 18 month old. The house was clean and conveniently located. We drove to the beach (parking at the beach was fairly cheap and widely available during the week), but walking would be possible. The renovated spaces in the home were beautiful, as was the outside of the house. My husband and I enjoyed sitting on the porch in the evenings, and our 4 year old loved the trampoline. The additional apartment is actually located in the basement, which didn't work for nighttime sleeping for out family. However, it would be great for a group with older children or just adults. Sean and Brad were friendly and helpful. It was a great stay and we would choose this property again!

Nice big house, with beautiful garden, but privacy was an issue.

We stayed here on a July 4th holiday with our toddler. It was much more space than we needed for 3 of us, and we really liked the house, and loved the garden. But at over $2,900.00 for 4 nights, after fees, it's extremely expensive, and privacy from the host was a real problem. Our only gripes were with privacy. When you rent the ground floor, you'll see that hanging out in the yard, at the dining table, you're probably less than 6 feet from the next door neighbors' porch. So it can feel like they're on top of you, when they're using their yard, though our interactions with them were all friendly. However, you also have the upstairs apartment, with its large outdoor deck that overlooks the garden. This means if anyone is renting the upstairs space, they'll pretty much be looking down at you as they hang out in their space. This was not a huge deal, but it did make us feel like we were being watched. This was especially true when we realized that the hosts were staying upstairs from us. Not that we NEEDED privacy for anything in particular, but it's obviously uncomfortable to have anyone, but especially the hosts "watching" you hang out. But the biggest issue with privacy came when we were checking out. There was 10am check out, so we asked the hosts for a late checkout, and they replied that they couldn't because they had another group checking that day. That's understandable, but the morning we were checking out and cleaning up after ourselves, we realized by 9:40 am that the host had already entered the basement of the apartment which we had paid for, and had begun cleaning that room while we were still there. This would be completely unacceptable at any price, but when you're paying over $725 per day, you'd think they could respect guests personal space, and could afford to pay for help cleaning if they need more time so badly. The house also shows its age a bit, and the kitchen feels like it hasn't been updated since the 70's, but otherwise everything works, so it was never an issue. The bathrooms were redone, and we really loved the design of the one near the kitchen. The house is also very spacious, and we never felt lacking from linens, to bikes and cookware, and we enjoyed spreading out. We spent most time in the garden, with its beautiful landscape. It's great for grilling, eating at the outdoor table, jumping on the trampoline, catching some sun in the open spaces, or enjoying the shady spots, and taking outdoor showers.

Lovely stay in Asbury

My family and I stayed here for a wedding this past weekend and it was all that we could have hoped for. We were able to all have our own space and the porch was a great place to sit and read. The outdoor area provides good privacy and is exceptionally lush and well-maintained garden. We would definitely recommend the Big Blue House!

Highly recommend the big blue house

My family rented the top floors for the week and added the bottom floors toward the end of our trip for more family to join us. My sister lives in Asbury Park and this was a great place to gather the whole family. The house was very comfortable and had plenty of room for everyone to have their own space. We gathered every morning and evening on the back and front porches and in the yard. One person drove to the beach with the stuff daily and the others biked. The bikes were great. Not a bad walk to everything. Would highly recommend. Hosts were great.

Lovely city worth vacationing to for a reasonable price

It's only a few minutes from the beach and the seafood place called Rooneys about 20-30 minutes north is an absolute must.

Great property, great location, great time

I stayed here in early August with my wife, brother, and parents. The 5 of us had plenty of space in the clean, well-appointwd bottom floor of the house. The property owners were very helpful and easy to communicate with. The house is close to the beach though you should expect to drive if you plan on taking a days'worth of gear. Only knock against the house would be that the pull out couch in the alcove bedroom was not very comfortable - I would recommend bringing an airbed especially if that room will be used by more than one person. Everything else in the house was great and fit our needs very well. Would stay here again and recommend to others.

Perfect spot

We loved everything about our stay! The house is so charming and comfortable, has all the amenities one may need and is close enough to everything. I liked that it wasn't directly on the beach and was in a beautiful neighborhood. The yard was so inviting and great to hang out in. Owners were very receptive to our needs. Can't recommend enough!
