Cozy Cottage at the River - Historic CampMeeting Cottage, 1 Block from River

This rental has everything a home away from home would have. Wonderful.

If you enjoy all the nuances of staying in a historic home, this is the place to be. The woodwork, ceilings and stairs are beautifully restored. The new front door and windows fit perfectly. It’s sweetly decorated. Bathroom downstairs has all you need and the kitchen is inviting to hang out and cook. Queen bedroom is cozy and bright, the second bedroom has a trundle bed suitable for small children. The location is on a sometimes busy street weekdays but so close to the Toms River with its boardwalk and gazebo, fun watching all that crabbing, Bay and the beaches. Beth and Brian are super friendly and responsive. Front porch great for coffee, side yard with table and chairs. Nice gas BBQ. All you need!

Step back in time in a quaint cottage a block from the Toms River. Has modern kitchen and necessary amenities. We loved sitting on the front porch and watching local life.

This is a lovely house situated in a lovely area and only a couple of minute's walk to the lake, a nice quiet area. The house has everything you need, the bathroom is downstairs but wasn't a problem for us, overall I would highly recommend this property.

This is our second time to stay at this cottage-perfect little house for the three of us!

Our family stayed for 4 nights in August 2018 - visiting family nearby. Our children (9, 11) felt immediately comfortable in this beautiful home. They literally had everything you could possibly need during your stay. Never did I think I wish they had ..... Cannot recommend enough - we will definitely be back. 10 stars if possible!!

I loved this house! So cute and cozy and in a fabulous location. Will stay here again! Amazon tv and Netflix, cute kitchen and bathroom and such wonderful bedrooms! Close to IBSP!

We have stayed at the cottage and enjoy Island Heights and the house’s proximity to the Island Heights Pavillion.

This cottage is amazing and the owners just the same. My sister and I chose this cottage for a stay near Tom's River due to a death in the family. From the moment we walked in and smelled the soothing scent of natural wood and the cozy layout of the cottage we knew we would be nothing short of comfortable as if it were our home. When we stepped into the kitchen and saw the bottle of wine and chocolates, well what can I say!!! How did they know us so well? The sign hanging in the kitchen, Adventure awaits spoke volumes of the journey we would be begin as we unraveled the life of our estranged uncle and prepared to lay him to rest. Each day was very challenging for us to say the least, but we had the comfort of the cottage at the end of each day to save our sanity and cloak us in warmth as we sat by the fireplace and contemplated our journey through the experience. This place has everything you need, including attentive owners nearby who graciously showed us how to use the fireplace and accommodated our request for an extension of our stay.The beds are super comfortable and the entire home immaculate. If we are ever in that area again, I wouldn't consider any place other then the little red cottage in Island Heights! Barbara and Cara

Walking distance to beautiful river views. Owner is very nice and went above and beyond to meet our needs.

This property and the owners were absolutely fantastic. We booked this property as a last minute, end of the summer getaway, and it was perfect for our family of 5. We were pleasantly surprised from the first minute that we arrived, from a bottle of much needed wine waiting, to a personalized greeting, as well as coffee for the coffee machine. Beth has everything you could need and has thought of every little thing, and it was a refreshing and much appreciated change from the typical vacation rental. The fact that there were beach toys for the kids to use as well as a beach umbrella shows how attentive and thoughtful the owners are. Our children loved the house and loved that they had Netflix on the TV at night and a supply of board games to play as well. The house itself is beautiful, and impeccably clean. Having a 200+ year old house ourselves, we sincerely appreciate this cottage and know how much hard work and time has gone into making it what it is today. We loved the book showing the restoration process! The owners have perfectly recreated the historic beach cottage feel, and the house has a quaint, yet rugged sophistication to it that really made us feel at home. The creak to the screen door and the squeak to the staircase were soothing to the soul. (That’s not a complaint, please leave the creak and the squeak.) The front porch is great for relaxing at night and everyone in the town seemed very friendly, and the town is very quiet. You couldn’t ask for a better location, as it is one block from the water and boardwalk along the river/bay, and only a 15-minute drive to the closest beach. Almost every store that you could need is less than 10 minutes away from the house. Beth is a great host, replied to every question very promptly, and was courteous and honest. For only being a 4-day vacation, this is one of the best we’ve had, and we surely will be staying here again. Thanks so much! Jesse and Amy (and kids)
