The house is clean and comfortable for a family or group — we had seven adults. We appreciated the large couch and dining tables for socialising inside. The kitchen was stocked practically for cooking up meals. The deck chairs outside on the water are a gem for enjoying the location. Even though close to a main road and bridge, it is quiet and has a neighbourhood feel. The caretaker and house owner were both helpful and friendly. This property has multiple units, which is great if you’re travelling with other families or a large group.

10/10 Recommend!!

The place had the perfect location being able to walk to restaurants/shops/parks and right on the water for a great view! Beach pass included for easy access to a beautiful nearby beach which was great for our family. Parking was a breeze and the home had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. Gary was so communicative and responded right away to any questions I had and even let us check in early/check out late when I asked him! We will definitely stay here again!

Great Jersey Shore house!

We enjoyed our stay! The house was perfect for our family. We appreciated the expansive space on the first floor for our family to eat and socialize together. The central A/C made the house very comfortable on hot days! The house is very convenient for going to Sandy Hook or to NYC via the Seastreak ferry. It is also walking distance to businesses in Highlands. We look forward to staying here again in the future!

Perfect Summer Rental

My husband and I along with our dogs stayed at this property for an extended weekend. The house was a perfect size for our family and was in a great location. Plenty of restaurants and super close to the beaches. The views from the house are gorgeous and you can smell the ocean when outside. Gary is a wonderful host and responded quickly to our messages. The check-in and check-out process was seamless. We look forward to staying here again!

Perfect House

We spent the weekend at this house, which we have stayed at before, and as always it was a wonderful experience. The weather was perfect and allowed for us to enjoy the nearby beaches. Being right on the water was relaxing. The house is spacious and has everything you need. The beds are comfortable and the house is very clean. We are looking forward to next stay!

Exceeded expectations

Everything was very easy and uncomplicated. Our host, Gary was very kind and helpful without being over-bearing The house was comfy and better than the photos showed. There were ceiling fans in 2 of the 3 bedrooms, good AC and easy access to amenities (and just a short walk to restaurants and ice cream). Parking was convenient too. A great spot for a long weekend by the beach with friends. Highly recommend.
Bbq was just out front.

Girls Weekend

This house was a perfect location for our extended weekend girls trip! Close to the beaches, and not far from multiple small towns with things to do. Gary was responsive, the check in and check out process was a breeze, and there's ample parking for this house. We'd definitely stay again - maybe a bit later in the season, so the beach wasn't so cold! But if you don't NEED the beach and just want a waterside getaway, this is perfect.

Remembering the “old days”.

Perfect location and very comfortable for our two night stay at “the shore”. Weather did not cooperate however, so we spent extra time on the couch! Kitchen is well equipped and everything worked. We would certainly book this again.
