As described, convenient location, comfortable, clean. Very receptive and friendly host. Would definitely stay again when the opportunity presents itself!
Wonderful stay with family! Beautiful place, Walkable shops for coffee/breakfast, walk to the beach, quick drive to Sandy Hook, great recommendations from Hosts!! So fun, hope to stay again!!
The distance to the bathroom was far and which the major lighting over the sink did not work... and it was in the laundry room with no door.Host was helpful. HVAC not easy to adjust.Living room was good.Loved the lighting in the dining room. House was noisy with no carpeting.
Can’t say enough about how much we enjoyed our stay here! The house is fully equipped - more than enough to prepare a gourmet meal! Washer and dryer were also very handy to have. We didn’t lack for anything, and the home was immaculate! Close by is a nice coffee shop and other conveniences. What a pleasant visit we had and we plan on returning again!
We were looking an alternative location to visit NYC, and stumbled across this amazing house located in the Highlands of NJ. We were a short trip to two separate sea streak ferry ports, Sandy Hook, and charming restaurants. We got our Italian and bagel fix- while taking a ferry ride into NyC for two days. The house itself is so comfortable, with tons of small details that made our stay amazing. We will be back!
We had a fantastic stay in the Highlands. Every bit of the home description (And More) is accurate. We have family in the area and love visiting the NJ shore. Cherisse was so easy to communicate with and even accommodated an unexpected early arrival. (Thank you again 🙏) The property is clean, quiet, comfortable and easy access to everything. Early morning walk to bakery, casual lunch down on the water and family beach time galore. We can’t wait to come back!! Thank you for a wonderful stay and so many great memories.
Everything you can want in a rental and more. The house is so comfortable and the extras are perfect (bikes, toys, Sandy Hook pass). We were here for a wedding so we did not use the kitchen much but it was well equipped. The Highlands neighborhood was fun to explore. Start the day with coffee at the Farmacie and take it from there. All in all a great Jersey shore vibe. Thanks to the hosts. If we ever come back to the area: this would be our top choice of place to stay.
We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful house. It is close to the beach, a lovely local coffee shop and many great restaurants. The owners provide everything you need for a great beach vacation, even bicycles! House is also close to the ferry for a trip to NY. Communication is great and everything is as described. We can't wait to come back!
The property was in a great location and spacious! The hosts were responsive when we had any questions and provided tons of tips and suggestions for things to do in the area!
This house is so lovely! Very close to everything, and the owner Cherisse is amazing, she even coordinated and did a beer tasting for us one evening! Everything about our stay was perfect. Will definitely be back!
hose was very clean and nice, everyhing was in good working order, pass to Sandy Hook was a added bonus! Would consider a stay here again when back in the area.
This beach house is nothing short of awesome! The location is perfect, very clean, it's very convenient to all of the beaches and restaurants, and venues. Our hosts Cherisse and Scott are awesome! They communicated with me with no problem and they are very accommodating. Will be booking again, thank you for everything!
This place served our needs perfectly! The hostess. Cherisse, could not have been more gracious and helpful. Well stay here again if we're ever in this area.
Great location! We booked for 6 people and there were not enough towels. One person had to bring from home. I also had to purchase toilet paper and soap. The house is not handicap accessible.
Lovely home in an amazing location. The house exceeded expectations. Cherisse, the host, was extremely helpful and ensured we had everything we needed. 11/10 will definitely stay here again!
This was the perfect property for our family! The house was beautiful, very clean, and had all the amenities we needed! The neighborhood was quiet and there were restaurants and the beach within walking distance! Cherisse was very responsive and helpful with any questions we had! We’ll definitely be back and I’d highly recommend this rental!
We used the house for Christmas Eve dinner. Absolutely lovely home. Beautifully renovated, comfortable and great for a group! Easy check in and check out! I highly recommend.
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!
Wonderful property and great communication with host. We were looking for a place to meet up with family who live in NYC, yet be away from NYC. It fit the bill perfectly. Would like to visit again in a warmer month to take advantage of the proximity to the beach.
