Wonderful stay

Bill's house and apartments are beautiful. A peaceful place to stay, so close to the beach, yet on a tree lined block with the park steps away. Bill is there for anything you need that you may have forgotten to pack, and the apartments have everything you could think of. Highly recommend!

Enjoyed our 10 days in Asbury Park😎

Bill (owner) was exceptionally nice and more than accommodating. If there was an issue, he was right on it. 3rd flood walk-up…thankful for the exercise (at 73 I needed it). Unit was comfortable and well equipped. If very hot outside, central a/c may struggle to keep up but, in combination with window a/c ‘s, no problem. The only issue that made it an issue was parking. Although you can walk a few blocks to the beach and boardwalk; very restrictive parking in neighborhood. Required a little additional effort to find a space when necessary.! overall nice comfortable rental. Thanks, Bill😎

A Place to Reset

I recently spent a week in Asbury Park to do a kind of post-pandemic reset. I wanted to be close to the boardwalk, beach, downtown and Ocean Grove. I found the perfect place in Bill's beautiful and comfortable Victorian home. I did a lot of energetic walking (including the steps to bring me to my 3rd floor apartment) to get to and from my destinations, and I felt great- healthy and alive. After returning "home" (it actually did feel like my home), I'd often sit on the charming wrap-around porch, relaxing in the wonderful, cooling breeze. There are many other perks to spending time in this rental, but the one I need to mention is the owner, Bill Thorpe. He's a wonderful human being who goes out of his way to meet the needs of his renters; he treats his guests like family!

Very enjoyable stay

A friend and myself rented this for a month long getaway in the summer and it was absolutley perfect for what we were looking for. Close distance to the beach and shops, you can hardly find a better location. Bill, the owner was a gracious host, very friendly and accomodating and attentive. I will definitely be staying there again.

Great Balance of Vibrancy and Relaxation

I stayed here with a friend during our first trip to Asbury Park. Bill was such a gracious host, who gave great suggestions for places to eat, drink, and play. He was always available if we had questions and the unit we stayed in had everything we needed including beach gear! The house is short walk to downtown and the beach, yet in a quiet location so we felt relaxed when we were there. I would definitely stay here again.

Perfect for Our Stay

We love Asbury and our time here was exactly what we were hoping for. We had our own little apartment with full kitchen and bath. We had very good wifi and extended cable channels. We had a short walk to the great restaurants on Cookman and it was an easy walk to the boardwalk and beach. The owner Bill is a very nice and accommodating host. We'll be back!

A very nice cozy retreat in Asbury Park

Bill owns and operates a large home in Asbury Park located 2 blocks from most everything the area has to offer including the beach and boardwalk in one direction and all of the great pubs, restaurants and shops located on Cookman Avenue. I rented the 3rd floor apartment which included a very nice living room, ample bedroom with a very comfy bed and a nice kitchen and full bath. Bill thought of everything in terms of amenities including beach towels, linens, kitchen needs, TV, internet, and a whole lot more. Great home, fantastic location and a truly thoughtful and caring owner. I would stay here again if I was looking for a place in Asbury Park.
