SUMMER HOUSE RENTAL
THE BUNGALOW AT HIGHLANDS, NEW JERSEY
The house is completely renovated, open plan 3 bedroom/1 bath bungalow in Highlands, NJ, which is at the very top of the New Jersey Shore. It's a perfect spot to spend your time reading, relaxing on the hammock, strolling to the small beach at the end of the block, barbecuing on the deck and sipping wine all day long… and has all the elements that make up a relaxing vacation.
The town of Highlands, NJ is charming with no traffic lights on the main street. It is mostly residential and very laid back. It's not typical of what you may think of the Jersey Shore. The town is known for its many restaurants as well as its proximity to Sandy Hook, Sea Bright and Long Branch as well as hiking trails and gorgeous views of New York City. There is a green market every Saturday during the summer – one block away. We find the house and the town to be charming and a perfect getaway from the city.
The location of the house makes it an easy commute from New York City, so you can also use it as a base for exploring the city. The ferry gets you there in about 40 minutes.
The house is on one level and has a crib and high chair (and some toys), so it's perfectly equipped for a family with small children.

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2004
My husband and I currently live in NYC and purchased this house to use on the weekends as an easy escape from the city. We love to ride the ferry to Highlands and avoid the headache of potential traffic messes. We have a toddler who also loves the house and its hallways and fun things to play with!
Why the Owner Chose Highlands
It's a small town and very simple, yet filled with restaurants and beaches.
The Unique Benefits of this House
We feel like we get the best of all worlds. The property and the town are very peaceful, but we are a short drive away from pretty much anything that we can think of wanting to do.
