Great house and location

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!

House w Character

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!

“Boho Beach Bungalow RETREAT”

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.

Fantastic

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.

Everything about our stay was great. Our host, Cherisse was very responsive to our questions and there was a very detailed house guide that provided us with everything we needed to know and also many recommendations for places to go nearby. We enjoyed having the bikes and beach chairs accessible to us so we didn't need to bring them from home. It was great to have the Sandy Hook beach parking pass as well. The house was actually larger than we expected and centrally located where we could walk or bike to the park, bagel shop, cafe and ice cream shop. The house was beautifully decorated and well maintained. The beds were very comfortable to sleep in and the water pressure in the showers was delightful. We enjoyed sitting in the yard and hearing the little stream passing through the edge of the yard. Would definitely recommend and stay again.
