Just perfect for a solo traveler or a couple. Manageable size, clean, good appliances, washer and dryer. Definitely the highlight is the fabulous location. I loved fishing off the dock every day and walking to Mobys for dinner.

The location was wonderful, walking distance to restaurants and shops and easy to hop on the bike to get to Sandy Hook and Twin Lights. The outdoor space of the property was beautiful and extremely comfortable; being right on the water was amazing! The host was very responsive, kind, and helpful. The cottage was tidy, but in my opinion it could use a deeper cleaning in some areas.

It was amazing and I loved the property and location. Wish we spent more time on the property. The only downfall was the bed was slightly squeaky but otherwise it was perfect getaway.

Perfect little hideaway for a trip to the nearby beaches. The place is well cleaned and maintained and the owner is kind and communicative. Love having a nightcap or morning coffee out by the water.

Quiet Waterfront Getaway

Despite occasional bad weather, we had a relaxing time at Gary's waterfront cottage. Everything was as described and Gary is a super responsive and accommodating host. Proximity to the Sandy Hook beaches was stellar and the pet-friendly feature was fantastic. We would definitely stay again.
