The newly updated kitchen is equipped with stainless steel appliances, ample counter space, and a large dining area where you can gather with loved ones to enjoy delicious meals prepared with fresh, local ingredients. During the summer there is a farmers market at Huddy Park on Saturday mornings and the Lusty Lobster for the seafood is a block away.

The bedrooms each providing a tranquil retreat for a restful night's sleep. Wake up to the sunrise and step out onto the private elevated porch to savor your morning coffee while basking in the ocean breeze. During the summer, enjoy live bands from your porch as they perform across the street in the waterfront park on Thursdays.

Outside, a spacious outdoor living awaits, offering an ideal spot for al fresco dining and entertainment with the Twin Lights as a back drop. Prepare a barbecue or simply lounge on the comfortable outdoor furniture while soaking up the sun. The landscaped backyard provides a peaceful oasis where you can relax and rejuvenate.

And with Sandy Hook, a season pass to this national park is included with your stay, you can indulge in endless outdoor activities such as kayaking, paddleboarding, or simply strolling along the shoreline.

Great Host, Great Location

Our family had a wonderful time at Walker's home and found the home to be in a perfect location for our trip. The home is spacious with plenty of indoor/outdoor space and our kids especially enjoyed the game room downstairs. The location is ideal for a visit to Sandy Hook beach or enjoying the restaurants in the Highlands area. Walker was an excellent host who was immensely pleasant and communicative, would stay again!

Great location!

Our family of five adults enjoyed our stay and found it had everything we needed for a relaxing time. The house has plenty of spaces to spread out inside and out. There are two full baths and an outdoor shower so getting ready was never a problem. We especially enjoyed the front porch facing the park and water. The house is right on the main street of Highlands and in a great location to walk to some nice restaurants and bars. Thanks, Walker!

Sea breezes in Highlands

The house was great for 2 adults and 4 kids. We really enjoyed the front porch with water views and sea breezes! The kids love the downstairs area with the ping pong and foosball tables.

A great house

We were a family of 6, our children are between 14-20 years old. It was a great house to rent. There were a lot of nice outdoor and indoor space, both for eating, relaxing and playing. The kitchen was well equiped. The bedroom and beds were very comfortable. It’s a nice neighbourhood. Sandy hook is a short bike ride with nice beaches.

Perfect 4th of July Getaway!

My friends and I absolutely loved this house we were so bummed to leave :( Perfect size for 6 mid 20s girls and so close to such great restaurants and beaches. Walker was so helpful and very communicative when we needed help with things. Couldn’t recommend the property more, we hope to be back :)

Huge well equiped property across from harbor

Lovely rehabbed older home across from harbor. Quick drive to public beach or Sandy Hill beach. Easy walk to multiple restaurants. Kitchen is large and well equipped. Lots of steep narrow stairs to main level and then again to bedrooms. Great outdoor spaces in front and back of home. View of water on front porch. Owner was instantly accessable, and solved all minor problems quickly ( we had wrong wifi code initially). Would definately stay again. Cute town of Sandy Hook had lots to do.
