An Exceptional Rental Property

Review Submitted: 08/12/11
My wife and I found nothing to be desired in this beautiful space. The owner carefully thought through and anticipated any need a renter may have. The home is very nicely appointed (tasteful) and there is no compromise on quality anywhere. Additionally, the owner was readily available if needed and willing to help however she was able.
Recommended for:Sightseeing, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway, adventure seekers, families with teenagers, age 55+.

One of the best places we've ever rented. We have had the opportunity to rent from VRBO and have been slightly disappointed but always want to give it another shot. This HOME is that and more. We felt very welcomed and comfortable. The home is warm and friendly! The web photos tell a story from a distance but it is nothing like being there in person. The in person version is stunning!! Nice neighborhood and we felt very secure there. The owners have done a great job on helping the renters feel special and pampered. Loved the open space in the living area. Very well designed kitchen cooking area as we like to cook in most nights from a day at the beach. This is one we would certainly recommend to friends and family although we'd like to keep it our best kept secret. Very well maintained, neat, clean and fresh. The owners were very helpful and provided us with a cheat sheet to go by even though we could text or call anytime with additional questions. Easy travel to many attractions such as the numerous Jersey Shore boardwalks. An awesome home, will definitely rent again!
Recommended for:Sightseeing, romantic getaway, tourists without a car, girls getaway, adventure seekers, families with teenagers.
Beach Home on the Jersey Shore

This was the first time we had rented a vacation property from VRBO on line. We were skeptical. On arrival at the address of VRBO# 181036 are fears were dispelled. This beach home was TERRIFIC. It is a NEW house. It was very clean and well maintained, THE NEW has not worn off yet. The posted pictures and decription do not do this beach home justice. The house is located within walking/biking distance to the entrance of the Sandy Hook National Seashore. The park offers beautiful beaches, a lighthouse and a historical fort. One evening we had a picnic supper and attended a free concert on the beach. There are many activities going on in the park. We liked being on the deck in the morning watching the boats on the river going out to fish and the sun coming up over the bridge. The house provided a base for our day excursion into NYC by train; which was quick and convenient. It is also close to Liberty State Park where we caught the ferry to Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty. The beach house is within walking distance of the historic Twin Lights Lighthouse. There are so many things to do here. Top end shopping is very close, fishing, parasailing, a horserace track is within minutes. There are several fine resturants in the area. Bahr's Seafood Resturant is within walking (deserts are delicious). Larura's Pancake House has ambience. We have already talked to friends and family about this great find; in case they are going to the North Jersey Shore. We had a WONDERFUL GOOD TIME there. We THANK the owner for sharing it with us.
