The house is located in a very nice residential neighborhood. While the house is 99 years old , it was clean and electronically updated. Its proximity to the Elizabeth train station made it an ideal location for our daily trips into New York City. It was only 35 minutes from the house to Penn Station in the city. The only small issue was that the refrigerator did not have a filtered water dispenser/ice maker. The house did have a stand alone water dispenser which required purchasing several 5 gallon jugs of water. There was a small stand-alone ice maker which was not adequate for the 10 of us. So, we used ice cube trays in the freezer to make ice. That was the only issue (minor) we had for the week. The house was really perfect for what we needed; a place to relax after a very busy day sightseeing in the city.

Our family of three kids, spouses, and seven grandkids had a very nice spot to stage a day trip into NYC. The immediate neighborhood is very nice, the house large and friendly. A good place for starting and ending rest.

The property owner made our family gathering so convenient and comfortable. The house is absolutely perfect for a large group. We were 18 (7 adults and 11 kids). There was so much room in the house and the back porch and yard are added bonuses.

Our stay was amazing but please ask questions about things such as laundry and the fireplace to know where things are located and how to use them. Reason, the W/D door is locked and had to locate the key, no problem but good to know. Had a situation with the fireplace should be resolved before the next renter and please locate all smoke alarms just for safety precautions. Host was very helpful and responded to all inquires promptly. Highly recommend

From multiple arrivals at different times to make sure the babies in our crew had beds, the owner worked very hard to meet our needs. He was great to give advice on the community and what to do. The home was beautiful, and large, and met the needs of our large group well. The home and yard were well-kept. We don't make it to this area often but if we do again we would definitely stay here again.

Doug was great to work with. He helped arrange some groceries for us before we arrived and responded to all of our needs while we were there. My only complaint was that the house was so comfortable that we couldn’t get our kids to want to leave to see NYC:).

This home was perfect for our family of 6 and had a bedroom with 2 beds left over. The home is a beautiful older home in a good neighborhood. We enjoyed taking evening walks around the neighborhood. The kitchen was large and well stocked which allowed us to cook and enjoy time together over meals at the large dining room table. The best part for me was the sitting room/sun room off the dining room that was perfect for enjoying a cup of coffee, watching squirrels and enjoying the birds.

Overall the house was ok. It was unusually hot summer days in the area during our stay. The host did not turn on the AC in advance and it was really hot upon our arrival. After communicating with host, he took off the remote AC control and it got better by next day. No one use the bedroom in Attic as it was hot. The bathroom in the Attic was ok for short person. Same with extended room on the ground floor next to family room. It was not cold enough to sleep. Some of our guests just sleep on the sofa in front of TV. The house could be better in other seasons than summer. Otherwise, only 2nd floor was good with good Air conditioning from day 2. Rest of the stay was ok. We mostly took uber for around $20 to get to Penn Station and then explore Manhattan using PATH.

Responsive Owner and Nice Neighborhood

Responsive Owner and Nice Neighborhood

The owner, Doug, was very responsive and helpful throughout our stay. The house was big enough to accommodate my large family, beautiful in design, and was clean. The beds were very comfortable, the kitchen had everything you need for your stay, and I can't share enough about the joys of how the house was able to accommodate our large family with small children. We got 3 parking spaces in the back of the house and there was ample parking on the street. The neighborhood is nice, safe, and provides the ability for a nice walk or jog if you want to. The check-in a day check-out process was extremely simple and user friendly. The house looks exactly like the pictures and the backyard is large. I loved the historic look. I would definitely stay here again with my large family. The only surprise was that there is a family who lives in the basement, but they did not bother us (we didn't notice them until we saw them periodically wall outside to their car). Lovely home!

The property has plenty of potential. The owner has done the bare minimum to get this onto VRBO and make a profit. It's really lipstick on a pig...

Helpful and accommodating host.

We were quite pleased with the spacious home. It accommodated our large family with ease- lots of nooks and crannies. Beds were comfortable. (We brought travel beds for the infants.) The host was available for any questions. He also arranged to lend us folding chairs and tables for an extended family dinner! Check -in and out couldn’t have been easier.

We rented the whole house for 3 nights following a memorial service for my mom. This house is very big and offered plenty of space for my family to gather. The house itselfh is pretty amazing - love love love the size and amount of bedrooms, and the old school tiling in the bathrooms. Lots to love. Would 100% recommend this house for a stay.

Bad Experience

Bad Experience

We took the house during my wedding week. Truly appreciate Doug help for giving a opportunity for doing small gathering for our pre wedding. Here is my honest feedback. House was in a nice neighborhood as listed. Suprise element is , they is a family living in basement which was untold. they didn’t bother but please be aware. Living space and kitchen were very nice and equipped with all the necessary. We had bad experience with bedrooms/shower and bedroom space was not tidy. Rest of the things were ok. we couldn’t reach out to doug for the cleaniness being super busy, i would think doug would fix the tidyness if we would have reached out.

We were 10 people and rent the house for 10 days. The house is amazing, very clean and cozy. The 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms gave us enough privacy and comfort. The host was extremely kind and helpful. Located in a quiet and calm area in Elizabeth, the house is 15 minutes from the train station and trains to Penn Station in NYC leave approximately every 30 mins. We are all looking forward to spending another vacation there!!!
