Things to note:
- The home has many family friendly amenities but it is NOT childproofed, please monitor your children at all times. There is water run off in the back yard/side of house w/about 3-6inches of water.
- The 2nd floor Master LOFT Bedroom is a private space but there is NO door at the top of the landing to block off the staircase from the room OR to block out noise/sound, light sleepers would likely prefer one of the downstairs bedrooms.
-We have Wi-Fi Ring cameras pointing at main entrance/front sidewalk/steps/landing/back door/steps. Cameras record motion 24/7 and are accessible via ring app 24/7 for security purposes only. There are NO interior cameras.
-We are close to the woods, there’s everything from loud birds to bugs to wildlife visitors, careful with children/your pups and please don't leave food or drinks out in the house, that will attract bugs inside!
-House is only accessible via stairs.
-Ideally sleeps 6 but we have a high quality air mattress to sleep up to 8
Can’t say enough about how much we enjoyed our stay here! The house is fully equipped - more than enough to prepare a gourmet meal! Washer and dryer were also very handy to have. We didn’t lack for anything, and the home was immaculate! Close by is a nice coffee shop and other conveniences. What a pleasant visit we had and we plan on returning again!
Excellent
Great stay by a great host! Very responsive and helpful. Place was amazing and location was the best. Thank you
We had a fantastic stay in the Highlands. Every bit of the home description (And More) is accurate. We have family in the area and love visiting the NJ shore. Cherisse was so easy to communicate with and even accommodated an unexpected early arrival. (Thank you again ?) The property is clean, quiet, comfortable and easy access to everything. Early morning walk to bakery, casual lunch down on the water and family beach time galore. We can’t wait to come back!! Thank you for a wonderful stay and so many great memories.
Wonderful stay with family! Beautiful place, Walkable shops for coffee/breakfast, walk to the beach, quick drive to Sandy Hook, great recommendations from Hosts!! So fun, hope to stay again!!
hose was very clean and nice, everyhing was in good working order, pass to Sandy Hook was a added bonus! Would consider a stay here again when back in the area.
The property was in a great location and spacious! The hosts were responsive when we had any questions and provided tons of tips and suggestions for things to do in the area!
Just what my partner and I were looking for in a relaxing beach getaway. Can’t speak highly enough of the hosts. The welcome guide was so helpful and their recommendations were perfect. They basically planned our trip and it couldn’t have been better. Loved the local charcuterie board setup at our arrival-highly recommend!
This house was perfect for our group of friends to stay while we enjoyed some Raritan Bay fishing. The driveway was long enough to park boat trailer and truck as well as another vehicle. The house has everything and is really cool. The town is great and the Proving Grounds is a nice place to grab dinner and drinks with live music.
This was my first visit to the area. My son was accepted to the nearby university and my family was invited for a campus tour and other campus activities. I didn't know anything about the area, and I did not want to stay at a hotel. I previewed short-term rentals for several weeks and ran across Cherisse's listing. I contacted Cherisse before booking to ask some questions and she promptly responded. I booked the listing based upon her feedback. When my family arrived, the home was exactly as listed. My family was very pleased with the amount of space, the amenities and location. There was information in the home that provided suggestions for local restaurants, bakeries, beaches and parks. This really helped. Again, this was my first visit to the area. The home is well equipped with games, utensils/flatware/serving items/pots/pans and etc. There is really nothing you need to bring for a great long weekend or stay. While there, I had a few questions and Cherisse was very prompt in answering. My boys have accused me of being very particular. I was very happy with the home and comfortable during our stay. My entire family had a wonderful time there and will reserve this home again.
Wonderful property and great communication with host. We were looking for a place to meet up with family who live in NYC, yet be away from NYC. It fit the bill perfectly. Would like to visit again in a warmer month to take advantage of the proximity to the beach.
We used the house for Christmas Eve dinner. Absolutely lovely home. Beautifully renovated, comfortable and great for a group! Easy check in and check out! I highly recommend.
Lovely home in an amazing location. The house exceeded expectations. Cherisse, the host, was extremely helpful and ensured we had everything we needed. 11/10 will definitely stay here again!
This was an outstanding rental. Great communication with Cherisse. Everything was clean and ready to go. We took some of the suggestions left for dinner and beach time which were excellent. Plenty of parking and roomy for gatherings. We loved it. Loved our host too..
Cherisse was a spectacular host and so responsive! The process was seamless and the open floor plan was super clean and relaxing for family time. Adorable home with awesome decor and furnishings! Close to beautiful Sea Bright beach as well as the ferry to/from NYC which our son enjoyed! Great memories with the fam were made!
Great house, super clean, great location, great communication and would for sure stay there again.
This house is so lovely! Very close to everything, and the owner Cherisse is amazing, she even coordinated and did a beer tasting for us one evening! Everything about our stay was perfect. Will definitely be back!
Definitely a 5 star property, location and host, also a 5 paw rating from our pup. Everything you could want in a vacation rental to unwind from the daily grind. Need beach chairs and accessories, bikes, private patio even a record player? Look no further, it's all included at the beach house. We definitely recommend a stay at this rental and will certainly be returning.
This was the perfect property for our family! The house was beautiful, very clean, and had all the amenities we needed! The neighborhood was quiet and there were restaurants and the beach within walking distance! Cherisse was very responsive and helpful with any questions we had! We’ll definitely be back and I’d highly recommend this rental!
Everything is as advertised! The house was immaculate! The decor was absolutely beautiful and felt very warm and inviting. The location is perfect for enjoying the local restaurants and the marina. We will defi
The home was immaculate. The style and decor was perfect down to the tiniest detail. Lots of wide open places to gather and catch up with friends both inside and outside. The dining room table was suitable for our big family style meals, and kitchen provided us with everything we needed to prepare them. It was absolutely perfect and in close proximity to restaurants and bars. Cherisse guided us to the best places to visit despite our less than stellar weather. I don't usually visit the same place twice, but this time I may have to book again. The home, the trip, and the hostess were all 5 stars.
