Ocean View, Pathway Situated, Large Wrap Around Porch, Private Parking!

Welcome to the historic W.J. Conner Estate of Ocean Grove, NJ. Step into this home and you'll be stepping back in time ... experience a piece of Ocean Grove history! The W.J. Conner Estate was built in 1894 during the 25 year anniversary of The Great Auditorium. It was the summer estate of W.J. Conner, esq., a prominent attorney, influential in Ocean Grove's formative years. Beyond its history, our home offers you amenities like none other in Ocean Grove and is perfect for celebrations, vacations or getaways!

Uniquely located on the corner of majestic Ocean Pathway and Central Ave, you're steps from the beach and the shops of Ocean Grove, yet you'll enjoy privacy, surrounded by open spaces on all sides! Relax and swing on the wrap-around porch, taking in the ocean views and breeze. The rear yard is your own personal oasis with complete privacy. There's a gas bbq for the grill-master, outdoor shower for rinsing off after a day at the beach and a beautiful garden area completing this tranquil space, perfect for relaxation, al-fresco dining and elevated outdoor entertaining.

Indoors you'll appreciate the charm of this lovingly restored historic Victorian estate, large enough for a vacation with extended family and friends, yet intimate enough for a comfy get-away for two! Modern amenities include a full eat-in kitchen with 6 burner designer Bertazzoni range (for the chefs in your group), full-size fridge and butler's pantry stocked with everything you'll need to enjoy cooking or dining in. Enjoy the gas fireplaces in the living room and dining room, perfect for cool evenings and winter getaways.

Other unique amenities include a private driveway, providing you and your guests with off-street parking ... a true luxury in Ocean Grove!! You'll be a short walk to Asbury Park with premier entertainment and dining options to chose from!

For the summer: Beach badges are included with your stay. You'll also have access to our private locker right on the beach with chairs and umbrellas for you to enjoy ... no more lugging bulky gear! We have bicycles and surf boards for your use, stored indoors in the detached garage.

When summer is over, the W.J. Conner Estate is a perfect place for a weekend escape. If you work from home, why not work from our home? Extend your stay for the week to work AND play. With high-speed wifi, computer monitors and printer, you'll be productive while you relax and recharge! Enjoy the tranquility of Ocean Grove, the invigorating ocean air, while treating yourself to all the nearby entertainment and dining options the area has to offer, without competing with the crowds!

The W.J. Conner Estate is privately owned. You will enjoy professional support throughout your stay, including a virtual Concierge Services that will make local recommendations for your stay! Our goal is to do everything possible to help you make the most of your stay!

It would be our pleasure to host you for your next vacation, celebration or relaxing getaway. We look forward to hearing from you!

Family time at the Jersey shore

This house is perfect for a family beach vacation. Great indoor and outdoor space; we spent a lot of time on the porch and the back patio. Having an outdoor shower, beach lockers, and a driveway were all added benefits!

Fantastic stay

This home is well modernized yet maintains its historic charm. Excellent location -- a short walk to the beach, Asbury Park attractions, and 'downtown' Ocean Grove (which has a very different character from Asbury). Perfect spot to take advantage of all the area has to offer. The property manager was very responsive and helpful.

Terrific Family House

Our large family LOVED this property. It's 2 blocks from the beach, 2 blocks from Days' Ice Cream and 3 blocks from bagels, a bakery and Odyssey Coffee. The wrap-around porch was delightful morning, noon and night. The bedrooms —the whole house—was very comfortable. The manager, Dominick, is probably tired of getting rave reviews but I'll give him one anyway. He was SO easy to work with and immediately responsive to any question we had. We would all love to go back another time.

It really is the best porch in Ocean Grove

The house is gorgeous. The location is perfect. Days Ice Cream is a few building away. The ocean is two blocks away and in view. The property manager could not have been any more helpful. The porch, the little game room, the lovely back patio, bikes, touch screen concierge, the abundance of towels, anything you’d want or need is at your fingertips. It’s like your friends let you stay at their beach house. Would recommend this place to anyone.

A historical gem of a house

We recently had the pleasure of staying at this beautifully maintained historical estate. We loved the eclectic mix of decor and the general vibe of the house. .Even though it was early December, we still were fortunate enough to have relatively mild weather and enjoyed the boardwalk and the proximity to Asbury Park. Between the quaint little town of Ocean Grove and the more bustling area of Asbury Park we found plenty of shops and restaurants to enjoy.

Best family gathering place!

This house has all amenities you’d need to make any meal you want- kitchen stocked with everything! Plush towels and bedding. Porch is THE gathering place for deep conversations or just singing along to Sonos tunes. Walk to beach is easy, and having access to the locker stocked with chairs is key. Grill, outside shower, new large washer/dryer is another great plus. Dominick the manager was quick with replying to any questions- from where to eat to bike locks. Our big family will return! Thank you!!!

Perfect house in Ocean Grove

We stayed a week at this house over Fourth of July. It was a big family gathering — 7 adults and 5 kids. The house was perfect! Amazing Victorian with tons of details and antiques, a lovely porch, every kitchen item one could need, one block from the beach, super close to Days ice cream, and access to a beach locker with chairs, boogie boards and umbrellas so we didn’t have to schlep everything! Love Ocean Grove, will definitely be coming back.

Great beach week with the family!

6 bedrooms with lots of beds so we could spread out. Fabulous wrap around porch and back courtyard for private outdoor dining. The grill worked well. New refrigerator, impressive oven. Locker right on the beach with chairs, umbrellas and toys. One umbrella broke; the property manager appeared within a half hour with a new one. It would be helpful if the 6 bikes could be filled with air before the visit. Luckily we brought our own pump. Charming house!

Amazing House!! A one of a kind rental

We rented this house as a family when my son was getting married in Asbury Park. This house was a fantastic choice and so much room for everyone. The house itself is like staying in a historical museum, every architectural detail more gorgeous and interesting than the next. The wrap around front porch, the backyard patio gave everyone enough room to spread out and no feel crowded. The bedrooms where spacious and bathrooms were beautiful. Everyone who stopped by for the wedding were amazed at the historical aspect of the house. If you looking for a beautiful, clean and interesting house that is not your cookie cutter rental I would highly recommend!!
