House w Character
We were looking an alternative location to visit NYC, and stumbled across this amazing house located in the Highlands of NJ. We were a short trip to two separate sea streak ferry ports, Sandy Hook, and charming restaurants. We got our Italian and bagel fix- while taking a ferry ride into NyC for two days. The house itself is so comfortable, with tons of small details that made our stay amazing. We will be back!

Great house and location
Can’t say enough about how much we enjoyed our stay here! The house is fully equipped - more than enough to prepare a gourmet meal! Washer and dryer were also very handy to have. We didn’t lack for anything, and the home was immaculate! Close by is a nice coffee shop and other conveniences. What a pleasant visit we had and we plan on returning again!

“Boho Beach Bungalow RETREAT”
We had a fantastic stay in the Highlands. Every bit of the home description (And More) is accurate. We have family in the area and love visiting the NJ shore. Cherisse was so easy to communicate with and even accommodated an unexpected early arrival. (Thank you again 🙏) The property is clean, quiet, comfortable and easy access to everything. Early morning walk to bakery, casual lunch down on the water and family beach time galore. We can’t wait to come back!! Thank you for a wonderful stay and so many great memories.
