We had an amazing stay here. Beautiful views and a very convenient location. Exceptional hosts with great communication and flexibility. We definitely plan to return!
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.
We enjoyed our stay very much.
Especially how close the water was to our place and the excellent fishing right off the dock. The place was very clean and check in was a breeze. Highly recommend!
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.
This is my 3rd trip to Gary's property and the second time I've stayed in this particular unit. Once here there is little reason to leave the property! I thoroughly enjoyed this stay.
Great little cottage for a weekend getaway at Sandy Hook Beach. Having breakfast in the chairs out by the river was an added delight. The property was clean and just as described. Would gladly stay again.
My 4th stay to Gary's properties. I have extended this trip and I've already reserved next summer. That speaks for itself. The best of the Highlands is here.
Very happy with the space and location. The house had everything we needed. Loved to sit out back on the water and watch the boats go by. Would stay again!
We stayed at the cottage for an impromptu trip to NJ. The cottage was cute and had everything we needed, including a sleeper sofa. The views were breathtaking and being on the water was relaxing. We look forward to our next stay!
Gary and Peter couldn’t have been more accommodating amazing views wonderful neighbors we’re already booked for next year so glad we found this diamond in the rough !
The location and property was absolutely amazing.The cottage was well appointed and comfortable.The grounds were landscaped professionally and well maintained. With the backdrop of the water and bridge, it exceeded all of our expectations.Appreciated the pass to Sandy Hook beach area ! Enjoyed the unexpected history tour of the lighthouse and abandoned officers homes.Went to Seafarer for dancing, which was a nice crowd and immensely enjoyed looking at the homes on Ocean Drive.We do these kind of stays a lot and this was the best so far !Thank you Gary !
Having my family come from NY to visit this area for the second year in a row is the best tradition we are going to keep ! Growing up in this area is the most amazing thing! Highlands is a place everyone should visit its the most wonderful peaceful town I believe on the jersey shore ! Walkable to the most beautiful beaches and restaurants!
Great location. Owner very punctual in responding to all inquiries. In need of some upgrading and more thorough cleaning.
