Go Inside This Tiny Ocean Grove Cottage Just Steps From the Beach

If you’ve ever walked around Ocean Grove and thought, “I could totally live in one of these little beach cottages,” this one might have you seriously reconsidering how much space you actually need.

Because honestly, when you’re just steps from the beach and boardwalk, who needs a giant house?

A Tiny Ocean Grove Cottage Just Steps From the Beach

One of my favorite things about Ocean Grove is the architecture. You can turn down almost any street and find these massive, gorgeous Victorian homes with porches that look like they were made for sitting outside with coffee on a summer morning.

And then, tucked among all of that, you find this place.

The freestanding studio cottage sits behind a large lawn and has its own front porch complete with a retractable awning. From there, you can catch ocean breezes and even little glimpses of the water.

Inside, it feels surprisingly open for such a small home. Cathedral ceilings, exposed beams, and tons of windows bring in plenty of natural light. There’s also a quirky little “sailor’s window” that feels perfectly appropriate for a house this close to the Atlantic.

Tiny House Living at the Jersey Shore

There’s a full kitchen with a dishwasher and a newer refrigerator, a full bathroom, and even a changing room and walk-in closet.

Here’s another interesting twist. Technically, it’s part of a five-unit condo association, but the cottage is completely freestanding with no shared walls. The HOA handles exterior maintenance along with gas and water.

It’s also pet- and rental-friendly.

Basically, you get the charm and privacy of your own tiny Jersey Shore beach house without quite as much of the maintenance headache.

It's listed at $399,000, and taxes are just over $ 6,500 per year.

People are interested in this place. Lots of people. It will not be on the market for long.

Thea Bowers, a broker associate for Remax Gateway, is handling the listing, which you can check out here.
