We were stuck in traffic and arrived an hour later than we had planned. The hosts said that it was no worry at all. The house was exactly as advertised and we had an amazing time. We only stayed one night, but honestly we wish we would’ve stayed longer.

We really enjoyed the stay here. It was very clean and quiet. The people at the property were friendly and helpful. Food within walking distance. The pass to Sandy Hook was nice to have. The only thing we didn’t anticipate was the steep set of stairs to get in and out of the apartment.

Great little place on the water near several historical sites and restaurants. The host was willing to have us check in early and stay later which was a nice benefit.

We booked this as an overnight stop on a longer trip, but we would love to have had longer. We enjoyed watching the boats from the deck and walking through the beautiful coastal neighborhood. The condo was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed.

The check in process was easy and the property blew us away with the cleanliness and atmosphere. It had everything I wanted and the pass was such a great accomodation! The smallest thing I have to mention was that the table outside on the porch on our side was very rusted out and probably sho

Everything was beyond perfect! The house and the location were amazing. We stayed there during the cloudy winter and it was still beautiful. We parked our car and walked everywhere. We have stayed in many rentals in the area and this was by far the best!

This place is so special to us. It's surrounded by water. Easily walkable to restaurants and bars in a safe environment. It's cozy but airy and filled with views of the waterway. Has all the amenities you need - full kitchen and bath, porch, grill. It has off street parking so that is easy to unpack. More designed for couples or a small family. Larger accommodations in the same complex exist. We go across the causeway to Seabright to the beat seafood restaurant- 2nd Jetty. And the owners of this property are hands on. They are very responsive but also respect your privacy. Overall, it's a perfect place to unwind without thinking too much about the typical travel stressors.

We were so happy to find your adorable AND pet friendly AND waterfront spot - with Sandy Hook and so many eateries nearby. We’re from the area - and spent many summer dinners at Moby’s and the Sands beach club, it was wonderful to be in a bright cozy space with a well-equipped kitchen and oh my, 3 TVs. Highly recommend - but yes, as others note, the stairs are steep, and dark. Pack lightly 😄!

This property is amazing with beautiful views of the water with boats and birds and abundant sunshine from a great deck. The 2 bedroom unit we were in was spacious and lovely and also had great views from the large living and dining areas. The nearby walks to the seaside Highlands restaurants and looking to the bridge to Sandy Hook were so nice. All in all, a great location and lovely place to stay with very nice managers.

We LOVED our stay, and the host was extremely helpful and made us feel very welcome. The location of this rental was perfect - waterfront, close to restaurants, nice neighborhood, close to beaches. The rental itself was a great size for our family of three, and we had all the necessities needed. We are going to make this our new family tradition and return every year to one of the waterfront rentals this exceptional host offers!

Great location, in walking distance to 3 great restaurants. Right on the water, beautiful view from outside deck. The care keeper was fabulous. Worth every penny. As mentioned by others, stairs in front are narrow and steep, also back stairs to deck easily accessible and more sturdy. Beds were pretty good. The beach pass to Sandy Hook is a plus. There are 5 sections, no swimming at A or B. The tide was pretty strong but there are life guards, bathrooms and outside showers. People also rent beach chairs although there are a couple you can use at the rental. There are also a couple food trucks including soft serve ice cream. Other areas to visit within a couple miles with lookout towers from the lighthouse. I would def go back.
