The house is very charming, comfortable and clean. The neighborhood is peaceful yet well situated for walking, biking, a day at the beach and there is no shortage of restaurants and bars nearby. We also appreciated the thoughtful amenities throughout the house. We would definitely try to stay here again if returning to the Highlands!

From the moment you walk in, the Beach Lodge feels more like your friend's beautifully designed home than a rental. The open floor plan is perfect for groups, and the location in Highlands is perfect too, within walking distance to beaches, waterfront restaurants, and shops.  The house is immaculate and has everything you could possibly need - they offer hotel-like amenities and I especially loved how stocked the kitchen was! Cherisse's welcome guide is a game-changer too, with spot-on local recommendations that basically plan your trip for you. This was my second visit and I took the Seastreak Ferry over from Manhattan this time. It’s conveniently down the street and only takes 1 hr (plus it's dog friendly). Cherisse is the kind of host who has genuinely thought of everything, I highly recommend staying here!!!

Just what my partner and I were looking for in a relaxing beach getaway. Can’t speak highly enough of the hosts. The welcome guide was so helpful and their recommendations were perfect. They basically planned our trip and it couldn’t have been better. Loved the local charcuterie board setup at our arrival-highly recommend!
