July 4th Family Vacation

Beautiful house on the water in an unbeatable location. Short walk over the bridge to free uncrowded beaches. Multiple restaurants and bars within a few minutes walk. Great evenings sitting in the Adirondack chairs on the river watching the boats go by. Can’t wait to come back.

We stayed for a weekend at this gorgeous home right on the water. The home is warm and very inviting. Gary was a wonderful host and very responsive to any questions that we had. There are many restaurants within walking distance and Sandy Hook is a short drive away! We plan to come back again soon!

Host was very responsive. House was equipped with essential items. I would recommend cleaning bedroom carpets, replacing the metal mini blinds, replacing living room couch & replacing front door handle (lock gets stuck). We did have to park on the street a few times as there weren’t any spots left in the two parking lots.
