Had a fabulous one-week stay with lots of visiting family/friends on various days. House is compact, sleeps 6 comfortably (2 on the pull-out couch downstairs), and is extremely well laid-out and maintained, with two full baths -- one upstairs and one downstairs by the back entrance, for "sandy" returns from the beach! Super-comfy beds, and all the needed amenities inside and out, plus two open porches. Great seafood restaurants all around -- along the bay -- and lovely small bay beaches, some with lifeguards, aside from the beautiful Sandy Hook ocean beaches, of course, which are 5-minutes away -- just over the bridge. Jeff, the owner, was very responsive and helpful, and a pleasure to deal with. Will definitely return!!Recommended for: Age 55+, families with young children, girls getaway.

I stayed here for 5 weeks during the Christmas holidays/ Blizzard of 2010. It was comfortable and felt like a home away from home. Great location for restaurants, food shopping, movie theater, etc. There are wonderful places for breakfast that are very reasonable and friendly. The neighbors are friendly as well which is always a plus! My golden loved the fenced in yard. Rent this property because the owners are accommodating and you will throughly enjoy your stay!Recommended for: Sightseeing, pet owners, romantic getaway, age 55+, girls getaway, tourists without a car.

Ease of access: 40 minutes ferry ride from Manhattan, close to NYC bus and trains. Lots to do: Highlands boasts renowned beaches (Sandy Hook, Sea Bright and Long Branch), top-notch restaurants, a lively nightlife scene and outdoor activities.
The Unique Benefits at this House:
Beautifully renovated with immaculate bathrooms, bright rooms and brand new fenced-in backyard. It's a quick bike ride / short walk to the beach, walking distance to waterfront restaurants and bars.
