This home is so lovely and well coming. Matches the picture and description and great communication with the host who was both responsive accommodating. We loved the water views from the patios and great restaurants and coffee shop in walking distance. Home was clean, with comfortable beds and furniture. Great place to hang out with easy access to beaches. We plan to return again soon. This place is a gem.

The unit was perfect. Location is ideal, easy to get to And great location. Parking was easy, which at the shore can be problematic. The property manager was easy to contact and very flexible. Great place and we will likely stay there again.

Great location and overall great accommodations that served my family well. Over all, quality and cleanliness was great. Only exception was dog hairs on bedding and pillows in front BR.
Was hoping for some great views, but the fog limited visibility. No control over that!
Would stay again.
Thank you,
Julia

Wonderful stay at this VRBO. So close to Hartshorne woods for trail running and just across the bridge from Sandy Hook and Sea Bright sea wall. We had an awesome time! The place was clean and has three balconies that were perfect to relax on. Dog Friendly. Check in and out were a breeze and the hosts were very responsive. Parking available. We ate seafood at Bahr's and highly recommend it!! Overall perfect stay for my family and I. Would definitely recommend this place to others. Thank you again for such a wonderful time!!!

We loved our stay here! The house was neat and clean with fantastic views of the Shrewsbury River, Sandy Hook, Highlands, and the NYC skyline. We enjoyed watching the boats go by from the bulkhead and our (four!) balconies over cups of coffee in the morning and glasses of wine in the evening. We loved being able to walk to some of our favorite restaurants and across the Highlands Bridge to the beach. The hosts were great and very responsive. We can't wait to come back!

Relaxing weekend
We had a great stay here with our 2 kids (4 and 6). Walked to Bahrs for a great dinner and did the Seastreak cruise up the Hudson to Cold Spring. It was a fun filled weekend and Highlands is such a cute town to explore! Will definitely come back!

The perfect spot
This home was the prefect spot for us to take a break from 2020, to breathe in some peaceful waterside scenery and just relax. It also happened to be close to where I grew up, close to a sister and daughter living nearby, And close to my parents final resting place.
Having 3 patios was terrific, because although sunny for almost the entire time, the weather was chilly and windy (from the NNE) and the south side patio received the most use since it had the wind break and the sun. This was the last week of summer and the week that the restaurants brought out their portable heaters.
Location is the best. We walked to restaurants and around the neighborhood. Everything else we wanted to do was just a short drive away. This property had everything we needed: 2 br, 2 ba, views, patios, very clean. We were very impressed with the availability of hand soap, hand sanitizer and paper products (tp & pt) which is not an easy feat in theses times!!
Larry & Gary were nearby if needed and always responsive to our email messages. We certainly would stay again!! Thank you for your attention to detail and your lovely restful property!!

Wonderful house
The property was clean and outdid our expectations - it was even more beautiful in person than we could tell from the photos. The location was great, it was just a short walk across the bridge to highlands beach. We had a great stay and would definitely come back again!

Four night stay with wife and inlaws
Great ease of check-in and Larry the owner was very responsive. Only drawbacks were location was not great, it is good location but not great. Proximity to resteraunts and bars within walking distance but home is tucked away in lot with several apartments and other rentals. Mid way through stay another party arrived in an adjacent rental house and occupied 3-4 parking spots making parking a hassle. Only other thing would be to have home professionally cleaned between guests.

Immaculate house with great location!
Every room is clean and new with beautiful beach decor! All amenities were top quality from the towels and bedding to the furniture. The kitchen was immaculate and had all of the comforts of home. The location has a beautiful view. It is within walking distance to restaurants and a very short driving distance to the beaches. I hope to stay again on my next trip to Highlands, NJ!
