    3rd time we have rented at this location, which is charming, affordable, and convenient to beach/town center. We will definitely rent again!

    Exactly as described. Quaint, clean comfortable cottage in an excellent location. 2 Bocks from the beach. 1 block form restaurants and shops but very very private! Will book again.

    The beds were comfy, the shower is great, the tv is great, the WiFi was less than acceptable.. The location was perfect...away from Rt 35 and on a lagoon which was very quiet. So if the landlord can slap some paint on the interior., clean up the outside, it would be a real GEM!

    The house was so close to the beach! Screened in Portch was great for an evening cocktail when the kids were asleep. House was a little disappointing. Not as clean as we hoped (hairballs, dirt in the walls). There were aunts but the house is quite old and so close to water it was to be exspected.

    Everything was smooth. Beach was a few blocks away and was spectacular! Owner provided 4 beach badges which was perfect. Cottage fit our needs. We were able to find restaurants close by with outdoor seating. Bay head is a very nice town. Highly recommend!

    This is a great place to stay, we had a really awesome vacation. My husband & I took our 2yr old daughter and dog. The house is literally on the water so not exactly toddler friendly but it's still really cool to step outside into the front yard and be right on the bay. Its really nice sitting on the front porch at night too. Just beware of the town swan! He won't leave you alone if you feed him just one time and he hissed at our dogs constantly. The location is amazing, really upscale nice safe quiet part of town. I loved being 2 blocks from the beach and there's a great park only a block away. The house isn't glamorous but its a great little quant cottage style house and perfect for our needs with kids/pets. Such a beautiful area, and beach was clean and ocean water was perfect! I would stay here again!

    Had a great time staying at the property. The owners were very accommodating and were open to last minute extensions for our stay which was really nice of them. They also allowed dogs which was so convenient and our dog loved the open space. Overall a great house for the weekend while we spent most of our time at Asbury Park, it was a nice place to come back and spend our evenings in.
