Great stay over the 4th of July. I wish they had a grill but we had a great time using the fire pit in the back yard. Kitchen was great and even had some essentials which arent normally in rentals, which was nice.

Thank you so much for the kind review! We’re so glad you enjoyed your 4th of July stay and made good use of the fire pit — it’s one of our favorite features too. Appreciate the note about the grill — it’s definitely something we’re considering adding in the future. Glad the kitchen essentials came in handy, and we’d love to welcome you back anytime!

Senior men’s tennis trip

Four senior men (in our sixties) men spent 4 nights We were on a group tennis trip and played tennis 3 strait days. House was very comfortable and clean Can only park two cars which was fine for us. Very easy to get to the SeaBright/Rumson area as well as highlands. Restaurants were close. Very easy to communicate with the owners.

We loved this place near the beach!

We loved staying in this charming house near the beach. It was super clean, and had all the things we needed. The house was decorated beautifully, beds were comfy, and we felt at home. It was also a short drive to the beach which was awesome! Private back yard was great to sit on the patio and relax after a beach day!

Clean, convenient, comfortable, and well-equipped

This house was perfect for our party of 8 — 2 couples and 4 adult kids. Having the living areas on the middle floor, with the bedrooms above and below, made for a great compromise between privacy and togetherness. We lacked for nothing, the kitchen was especially well supplied, and communication prompt and friendly. (We bought tension rods to rig a curtain for the skylight over the upstairs bed — but that was the only adjustment we had to make for comfort.)

Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear the layout worked well for your group — it really is designed with both privacy and connection in mind, so I’m glad that came through. We appreciate your thoughtful solution for the skylight and have since taken your feedback to heart as we work on a more permanent fix. It was a pleasure hosting you.

Perfect place for a Jersey Shore / NYC vacation

We had a great time here. The house was perfect for our family of 5. Newly renovated, really nice place. Great location, accessible to Jersey Shore beaches and the ferry to take you into NYC. The host did a great job of communicating with us throughout our stay and ensuring that we had everything we needed. We highly recommend this place and would absolutely stay here again.

Spacious, we were comfortable and happy the whole time. Quiet and safe neighborhood. Central location. I travel often with VRBO and this listing is on my top 5 list. I hope it’s available next time I visit the area.

This property is probably a better choice in the winter when you can see the lake through the trees. The round retro house is setup for beautiful lake views but some true pruning would be needed to see the lake from the home in the summer. Access to the lake is down a steep, rustic path that needs a good leave and stick clearing. And no yard to speak of for small children. Hot tub is very nice and clean. The home and furniture is showing some wear, as do many older rentals.

Home for the Holidays

The house had all the basics (kitchen, bedding, laundry) needed for our family. It was clean (except for these little gnatsin the kitchen), inviting and cozy, yet spacious enough for all 8 of us. Our only issue was the lack of storage/closet/dresser in the 2 main downstairs bedrooms; staying a week we would've liked to put clothes away

Pleasant stay in Highlands

Although our check-in was rather challenging, once we were able to gain access to the house it became aa lovely stay. Our host, Angelica, was very responsive to our needs. I don't place the blame for our check-in difficulties except to say that the info on VRBO was not up to date. The house is lovely and spacious and was comfortable for a family gathering of 8 folks. Entrance is through the ground level where there are 2 bedrooms and an additional door is on the second level. There are an additional 2 bedrooms on the third level. We found the beds quite comfortable. There were lots of towels for use in the house as well as several for the beach. The spacious kitchen was well stocked with utensils and lots of glassware and plates as well as toaster, blender, griddle, etc. In summary, we had a lovely time on Labor Day weekend in spite of some weather that limited our beach time. The cozy living room and board games allowed us to remain engaged and comfortable in spite of the weather.

A Quiet, Spacious Home for a Family Vacation

We recently stayed at this home for a long weekend while in the area visiting family. The home is furnished nicely and has plenty of room for everyone. The beds and bathrooms were clean and tidy. The neighborhood is very quiet, and not too far from things. The parking is street only, and limited to the 2 vehicle spots in front of the house, any other guests would need to park elsewhere. Communication with the host was prompt and polite. Check in and out was very simple as well. This review would not be completely honest without mentioning the one downside we experienced here, the smell. The bottom floor smelled strongly of cigarettes/tobacco (despite this being a non smoking rental) and the upper 2 floors smelled (fairly strongly) of cat urine, with the 3rd floor being the worst. This was something we found incredibly hard to ignore, to the point where we went out to purchase air fresheners to use during the stay. Overall a great place to stay with plenty of room, would be a 5/5 if the owner could somehow eliminate the odor issue(s).

Thank you for your honest and valuable feedback. We certainly never had cats in the house. We had all floors redone and I am personally highly allergic to cats. We will be repainting these rooms next week. Thanks again for your review. Appreciate your feedback. Cheers - Angelica

Nice house; Poor communication

The property itself was good. It was clean except for some little gnats in the top floor bedroom that bothered my daughter. It was well stocked with dishes, pots, pans, towels, beach chairs, etc. It’s close to several restaurants and the ferry to NYC. The lowest floor was humid and a little mildewy smelling when we arrived, but I ran the self cleaning feature on the washing machine and the dehumidifier and it got better. We enjoyed the neighborhood cat who liked to roam the yard and say hi to us through the glass doors. The biggest problem we had was checking in. We were given instructions on how to gain entry to the property, but we could not find the key where we were instructed to pick it up. We called and texted the owner and VRBO multiple times for assistance, but no one was able to help us. The owner did not respond and VRBO suggested we find another place to stay. So, we waited for a few hours and then finally checked into the only hotel we could find nearby with availability. We got the last two rooms they had at that hotel. The next morning the owner apologized and refunded the money for the first night and got us a key for the rest of the trip. She was apparently overseas and had not received our calls. However, we spent more money to reserve two hotel rooms at that hotel than we were refunded. Everything was fine in the end, but it’s just not a great way to start a trip and an inconvenience to have to move after 1 night.

We take all feedback seriously, and I want to assure you that we are committed to providing a seamless and enjoyable stay for all our guests. We have addressed the check-in issue by updating our key retrieval process to prevent any future inconveniences. While there was an issue with humidity on the lowest floor, we appreciate your quick thinking in running the dehumidifier, which resolved the concern. We have since increased our efforts to ensure that the environment is consistently comfortable and the humidifier runs automatically. We are also pleased to that you found the property’s cleanliness, amenities, and location met your expectations. We strive to provide a well-stocked and welcoming home. We value the opportunity to improve and welcome you to experience our property with the confidence that your stay will be enjoyable from start to finish. Thank you for considering our home for your stay.

Quiet beach house close to everything

Quiet and safe neighborhood within a walk to the beach or a very short drive. This house was clean and comfortable with all of the amenities that you need, including laundry supplies, beach towels, a beach cart (in addition to your standard kitchen and bathroom supplies). The owners were extremely good with communication and answering questions quickly. The third floor was perfect for our 3 children (there is room for 4), and the bottom floor was great for the 4 adults. The house has window unit air conditioners which all worked very well to keep the house cool. It was a very easy and enjoyable stay and gave everyone room to spread out and relax. Street parking was free and always available right in front of the house. It was a short drive to Red Bank shopping and to the beach boardwalks.
