Haifa includes such nice towels, extra toiletries, and a darling welcome gift.…. We loved it so much.’’ – Samantha ‘’The location is exceptional - just a couple of blocks from the beach and very quiet. The house is super cute - we appreciate that it is one of the oldest in the area but it felt so up to date! Very clean, the a/c kept it very cool. Haifa was a fantastic host - very welcoming and communicative. Highly recommend!’’ – Deborah ‘’The house is in an incredible location and in close proximity to the beach and about a 10 min walk to the restaurants and bars. Haifa decorated the house very thoughtfully and had plenty of kitchen tools, bedding, and beach items. The 3 outdoor seating areas plus the grill were a wonderful addition….

Other Details to Note

🖤 PLEASE READ THIS THINGS TO NOTE SECTION BEFORE BOOKING 🖤 ☀ The staircase is narrow and a little steep. For most people it's not an issue, and we've had many children stay here too. However for seniors or people with mobility challenges, you may want to keep this in mind before booking. ☀Please note our listing is for 2 bedrooms, which can sleep up to 4 people. Our standard booking does not include the use of additional fold-out beds. We have a comfy pull-out bed with twin memory foam mattresses, for occasional extra guests only, for an added charge of $100 per guest per night. If you wish to use the extra beds, please let us know at the time of booking so the cleaning team can prepare it, and please make the booking for 5 or 6 people (this will automatically add the extra bed charge). ☀We are pet friendly, but you must let us know about any pets at the time of booking. The pet fee is $70 per pet per stay. Please note that pets are not allowed on the beds. We provide pet amenities including a donut bed for smaller dogs and cats; for larger pets please bring your own pet bedding. ☀ Our house is one of the 100 oldest homes in Neptune, and is listed as a Key Historic Structure. It has lots of character and charm, but please also expect the quirks that come with an older home, such as wonky floors. The house has been thoughtfully decorated in a vintage style, and feels like a cozy home. ☀ Ocean Grove is all free street parking. It can get busy in summer especially on weekends. We're in the quiet end of town so it's usually not too hard to find a spot here. There's also a small beach parking lot at the end of our street, which is free when you show your beach pass. ☀ Absolutely no loud parties allowed. We use the NoiseAware noise decibel monitoring system. Smart tech alerts us to sustained loud noise at the property & messages the guest (no sound is recorded, only noise levels are monitored). Repeated alerts will result in guests being asked to leave the property without refund. We love our neighbors and want to ensure they are not disturbed. ☀ Please note that the local Township of Neptune requires hosts to get a Certificate of Occupancy for each new guest, before they can check in. Once you have booked, you'll need to provide us the names of each guest, and contact info for the main tenant - we will take care of the rest.

We were close to the beach! The house was just as described with many extras. The beach passes and supplies were awesome! The book of “favorites” and “must dos” was extremely helpful. Haifa is so responsive, patient, and kind!

Such a great house, I'm sure we'll be back. It's on the quieter end of Ocean Grove, but still very close to "town" for morning coffee or nighttime ice cream. Beach is a very quick walk... felt like one full block. House had everything and was just right. It's kind of a master class in how to make a house feel old but stylish, "found" but with everything you might want. I'll repeat what is clearly in the listing: the stairs to the second floor are steep and funky. Might not be the ideal place for someone who struggles with stairs. I really loved this place. Private enough, smart, comfortable, and a great host.

Our stay at Haifa's property (V&A) was perfect! The property was exactly as described, which included being extremely well appointed with everything you could possibly need for a fun and relaxing beach vacation! First impression of the property is comfortable, so clean, and very well decorated! It includes touches that play to the Victorian era in which the home was built, but with obvious attention to comfort as well. There are welcoming touches everywhere, and it felt like home the moment we entered our unit. This extends to the quiet, welcoming neighborhood too! There are some unique features, such as the clawfoot tub and narrow stairs that could be challenging for some, but this was all very well detailed in the description of the property, and we found them charming more than challenging. My 79 year old father had no issues getting around. The beds are comfortable and the linens, towels, and bath products are luxurious! Haifa has thought of everything! We can't wait to return!

Quite possibly the best vacation home I’ve stayed at. A beautiful home, fully equipped both for peaceful evenings inside but also chairs, mats etc to take to the beach (a short walk away). I would say a home from home (but it’s probably nicer than my home 😂)

We enjoyed our stay at Haifa's beach unit. We spent much of our time on the upstairs balcony and the front porch. As Haifa describes, her building is old and has a quaint feel to it. The location is great as it is about a 3-5 minute walk to the OG beach.

Haifa is an absolutely splendid hostess. She is polite, professional, and responsive. When we first arrived, we were greeted by a bottle of sparkling wine, fine chocolate, and other gourmet treats. The house itself is positively charming. True, it is an older home, a true Victorian home, and that's what makes it so unique. However, Haifa has optimized the available space to be spacious enough for modern travelers. It very comfortably accomodated our family of two adults, two teens (they loved it by the way!), and two dogs. The majority of the home is air-conditioned, providing welcome relief from what can be the blistering heat of the day. The setting is picturesque, with the beach mere minutes away. The pace of Ocean Grove is welcomingly slower and more moderate than neighboring Asbury Park. Still, precisely for this reason, it offers the best of both worlds. I plan to return many times over the years to this quaint, charming Victorian era beach house!

The home was charming, quiet, and location was ideal. The perfect location for a beach getaway. Little things helped like tupperware containers perfect for taking snacks to the beach. We kitchen had everything you need for meal preparation. I loved the multiple ceiling fans in each bedroom. The neighborhood is also wonderful to walk around after dinner, we enjoyed having ice cream at 'Days' , and taking evening walks truly feels like you are in a small village. We really enjoyed the front porch, and my young niece especially loved the balcony off of the bedroom. The host Haifa was very responsive whenever we had a question. Overall we had a very enjoyable experience )

In summary we had a great beach vaca, with no surprises. Funky beach house. If you only love new houses skip it, you won’t be happy. If you like a beach house with quirks and. character, go for it. Photos and descriptions are spot on. Host was super responsive. Very well appointed, great beds, great linens, tons of towels, well stocked but small kitchen, snacks when we arrived. Three outdoor spaces that seat about 4 each, to lounge and have coffee. Sliver of an ocean view from the upstairs porch. Backyard space is minimal. Stairs are steep and narrow, Bathroom has a step down, clawfoot tub and the shower isn’t great, especially if you’re over 6 foot. So if you have mobility issues, skip it. Ocean grove is about the cutest beach town in the universe, it’s a dry town, but booze is readily available nearby. Easy walk to Asbury Park restaurants and boardwalk. House is a 5 minute walk to the beach & a 5 minute walk to center of town.

I booked Haifa’s wonderful Victorian getaway for a girls weekend with three of my girlfriends and we couldn’t have had a better weekend! Checking in was a breeze and we absolutely loved the neighborhood, location, and careful curation of decor Haifa has collected. The house is truly a marvel, and Haifa’s work toward honoring the historical aspects of the house and Ocean Grove are so impressive! Although the house has many modern amenities, at times it felt like stepping back in time, almost as if we would look outside and see folks in Victorian garb walking around. A few minutes walk away from both the beach and Asbury Park, we were never at a loss for things to do. And when we were tired from the sun and salt on the beach, sitting on the porch with some drinks and fresh fruit allowed us to relax and recharge. Haifa was one of the best hosts I have encountered on AirBnB, complete with a welcome basket upon our arrival. I will definitely be staying here again!

Great location (right by the quiet end of the beach in Ocean Grove but also walkable to Asbury Park), accommodations, and host. Very comfortable and included everything we needed for our stay. Highly recommended!
