It was an exceptional property in an exceptional setting. Gary was very thoughtful and someone showed us in. The kitchen was fully ready for cooking, and the bedrooms were pretty big, as well as the living room and shared terraces. Most popular restaurants (including Bahr's Landing) were within walking distance. Really enjoyed our stay and will definitely look for the property in the future.

What a great property! The property managers are super responsive, the space is well appointed, and everything is comfortable. If you aren’t lucky enough to have your own family beach house, this is a perfect alternative.

We really enjoyed our stay. This was our second visit and we hope to return again. Our host was very accommodating and quick to respond to our questions during our stay. The location is very convenient to amenities. We were able to walk to dinner and of course being on the water with my boat out back was ideal to meet the needs of our trip. We were all very comfortable through out our stay. The place was clean the beds were comfortable the shower had excellent water pressure and the kitchen was well stocked. Thanks again to our host for all that you did to make our stay so enjoyable.

This was the perfect place for my family to stay for the holidays! Wonderful apartment with all the amenities needed and then some! It was perfectly located - a quick drive (or we could even walk) to the shore and Sandi Hook along with several restaurants and the Twin Lights. I was able to watch the sunrise from the kitchen and deck every morning which was wonderful! There was a small park on the water a very short walk up the road for our dogs. Plenty of parking on site. Everyone we met was extremely kind and friendly. Entrance to the apartment was beautifully decorated for the holidays. Gary was an absolute pleasure to work with and was extremely accommodating when we had to cut our stay short by a day due to an impending snowstorm. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and would definitely love to stay again!

Overall the house was good, just wish there had been more lighting and more clarity on where some basic things like towels were. Also, the shower didn't have even the basic of body wash, shampoo, etc that we could find.
