Updated OG Apt | Firepit, Porch & Desk | 5 Min to Asbury Park Dining & Nightlife

Summary:
Welcome to the "Embury Retreat", a 2-bedroom modern beach apartment that is the perfect getaway spot for you and your loved ones to connect, explore and enjoy everything that beautiful Ocean Grove and the Jersey Shore have to offer.

Enjoy the local sights & sounds with just a 10 min walk to the Ocean and to all of the great spots in town including shops, the Starving Artist, Sea Grass, Tino's, etc. The property is only a 5 min walk to downtown Asbury Park, and close to Bradley, Avon & Belmar.

The Space:
Please note while this is a newer property, I am an experienced Jersey Shore host and have been providing an exceptional experience to my guests for years. Refer to my host profile to see for yourself!

The "Embury Retreat” is a 2-bedroom, 2 bed and 1 sofa, 1 bathroom home that sleeps 4-5 comfortably 6 max and is one level on the second floor. The space is designed and perfect for families and couples looking to enjoy their time together in this wonderful shore town!

This new home features central air & heat (a must at the shore!), an in-unit washer & dryer, Quartz countertops, Optimum top package Internet and Wi-Fi, a 55’ Samsung smart TV, and keyless entry with your own unique access code to ensure safety and privacy. A full porch with six chairs is the perfect place to hang out, grill, eat and unwind after a long beach day with loved ones, friends, and family.

Each bedroom, one Queen and one Day Bed with two single mattresses, is equipped with a closet, nightstand(s), linens, blankets, etc. If staying with 6 guests, a large sectional couch in the living room is available in the living room including one chase lounger.

There is a private remote working space in the day bed bedroom with a standing desk and stool for your convenience.

All members of your group must be 27 years or older to book or be accompanied by an Adult. No exceptions!

Bring the family to stay at the welcoming, and well-equipped Embury Retreat, which lets you enjoy the best of the Jersey Shore from the comfort of a quiet home-away-from-home.

Guest Access:
The entire home including the front porch and backyard. On-street parking is available on a first-come, first-serve basis.

The Neighborhood:
Home is in a wonderful location in a beautiful, quiet neighborhood on Embury Ave with a quick walk to Main Street and all of the must-see local fair or quick walk over the foot bridges into downtown Asbury Park.

The town offers plenty of great restaurants, shops and history including The Starving Artist, Sea Grass, Odyssey Coffee, the Emporium and the Great Auditorium to name a few. Other sights and activities include Asbury Park fun and nightlife, Bradley Beach, Avon-by-the-Sea or beautiful Belmar. All of these Jersey Shore staples are within reach.

Feel free to ask if you need any specific recommendations!

Getting Around:
Everything within Ocean Grove is very walkable to Main Street, the Beach & Boardwalk and downtown Asbury, and Neptune Main Street. NJ Transit is also walkable and very close by. Uber/Lyft can also provide quick access to neighboring shore towns for anything not walkable.

What a cute little gem!
This apartment is probably one of my most favorite places that we've ever rented. The neighborhood has so much charm and is safe. The check-in process was simple and the host was very responsive. The apartment was super clean, cozy, the beds are comfortable, and the apartment has all the amenities you could possibly need. If I came back to the area, I would definitely stay here again!

Exactly what was advertised.
We visited Asbury Park for a music festival, and this property was perfect! Cody was an amazing and accommodating host. For example, we needed to iron some clothing prior to dinner on Friday evening, and couldn't find an ironing board. I messaged Cody, and when we came back from a long afternoon of shopping, there was a brand-new iron and ironing board waiting for us on the front porch. We felt like kids on Christmas morning. I highly recommend staying here and will do it again when we come back for next year's music festival.

Weather was great.
Nice property could use some TLC tho. Towel racks were off the wall in the bathroom. Dishwasher didn't work. No clothes hangers so we had to drape our clothes over chairs etc. Bulb out in the range hood and knobs missing.

Cute modern apartment
We loved the beach-y colors and functional simplicity of this apartment. The little kitchen was wonderful, the bathroom was very clean, the surfaces all seemed recently updated and fresh. It was well-equipped for anyone wanting to use technology, although we didn’t use that aspect at all. The owner and I had some problems communicating, but I think they were due to the VRBO system itself. For example, we didn’t receive emails from VRBO with check-in or check-out instructions. The map of the listing location prior to receiving the dress also made it seem like it was 10 blocks closer to our family reunion, so we had to walk a lot every day. We also ended up staying out later at our family’s home because short trips to and from were not an option, and we must have made noise when coming back around the “quiet time”. It was very sweet that the owner noticed we had a baby with us and had a pack n play set up upon arrival. A couple days into our stay the owner brought to our attention very kindly that our kids were too loud for the downstairs tenants even during the day. In this way the listing might not be as family friendly for families with toddlers who simply cannot regulate their bodily movements in everyday living on creaking floors. We were never treated unkindly about it, but it made us uncomfortable to know we couldn’t “follow the rules”. Please note that there is a wonderful trundle bed because it blends in so well! Overall we loved the apartment itself and recommend it.
