At Great Times Away, we believe your trip should be more than just a getaway—it should be a great time away. Let us host your next visit and show you the difference genuine hospitality makes.

✨ Why We Chose This Neighborhood – Safe, Connected & Exceptionally Convenient

We chose this neighborhood because it offers the perfect blend of comfort, safety, and accessibility — ideal for both short visits and extended stays. The building itself is securely gated with keyless entry and private garage parking, giving guests peace of mind and convenience from the moment they arrive.

Located right off the Garden State Parkway and I-280, you can reach major destinations across Newark, Jersey City, and Manhattan with ease. The Highland Avenue Train Station (6-minute walk) also makes commuting simple, connecting you directly to New York City in under 35 minutes.

The area of Orange and West Orange is known for its tree-lined streets, charming historic homes, and growing arts scene, creating a peaceful yet vibrant environment. Nearby, guests can enjoy several local parks and green spaces — Orange Park, Eagle Rock Reservation, and South Mountain Reservation — perfect for morning walks, scenic hikes, or weekend picnics with skyline views of NYC.

Everyday essentials are all nearby: Whole Foods, ShopRite, Walgreens, Chase Bank, and Dunkin’ or Starbucks for your morning coffee, along with local favorites like Golden Krust. When it’s time to explore, world-class attractions are within reach — from the American Dream Mall and Nickelodeon Universe (18 min) to Prudential Center concerts (13 min) and Liberty State Park (29 min).

For students or visiting families, it’s also central to Seton Hall University (8 min), NJIT (11 min), Rutgers Newark (8 min), and Montclair State University (17 min).

Whether you’re here for business, education, or leisure, this neighborhood offers a secure, well-connected, and relaxing retreat with everything you need just moments away — all while being close to the heart of New York City.

✨ Why Guests Love This Dual Modern Retreat – Double the Space, Double the Style

From the moment you arrive, you’ll notice something special — two side-by-side apts that mirror each other in design and comfort, creating the perfect setup for large groups, families, or retreats. Together, these units offer 4 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, and 10 beds (2 Kings, 4 Queens, 4 Twins) — all in a bright, modern setting that feels both sophisticated and relaxing.

Step inside and you’re greeted by sunlit open-concept living spaces, dressed in soft green drapes, warm golden accents, and plush contemporary furniture. The living rooms feel vibrant yet soothing — pops of olive green and elegant décor create a mood that’s both inviting and photo-worthy. Large windows flood the rooms with natural light, bouncing off sleek wood floors and giving the apt a clean, airy feel.

Each kitchen and dining area is fully equipped with stainless-steel appliances, granite countertops, and modern cabinetry — perfect for cooking and connecting. Between the 2 apts, there’s seating for up to 12 guests, ideal for shared meals, or morning coffee before a day exploring NYC.

The bedrooms are designed for comfort and style: canopy king beds anchor the room, while secondary rooms feature double queen layouts and twin rollaways for extra flexibility. Each space is thoughtfully curated with quality linens, Smart TVs, and soft lighting to create a restful atmosphere for every guest.

Both apts include spa-style bathrooms with rainfall showers, plush towels, and essential toiletries — making mornings smooth and evenings relaxing.

Guests love the sense of balance: vibrant interiors paired with upscale amenities like EV charging, free parking, a 24/7 gym, elevator access, and secure building entry. And with just a 6-minute walk to the train station, you can reach NYC in 30 minutes or Newark Airport in under 20.

Whether you’re hosting family, friends, or a group getaway, this dual retreat offers more than space
