Cute Cottage

We stayed at the cottage for an impromptu trip to NJ. The cottage was cute and had everything we needed, including a sleeper sofa. The views were breathtaking and being on the water was relaxing. We look forward to our next stay!

The perfect mini getaway! The location offers breathtaking views. The neighborhood is pleasant and easy to navigate. The house is absolutely perfect!! You have a beautiful view, whichever window you decide to look out. Very clean and quaint. Everything you need to enjoy a peaceful and relaxing stay. Couldn’t ask for a better experience.

Great little cottage for a weekend getaway at Sandy Hook Beach. Having breakfast in the chairs out by the river was an added delight. The property was clean and just as described. Would gladly stay again.

Perfect Weekend!

Looking for a place to enjoy our last weekend before dropping daughter off at school. Loved having walkability to restaurants and we could bike over to Sandy Hook NP. The beach was great. More our vibe than the busier boardwalk beaches of the Jersey Shore. Would definitely recommend this place! The property manager had someone ready to orient us to the place when we arrived and was available immediately when we had a question about the lights. Very responsive!

A breath of fresh air

It was so peaceful and comfy. We had everything we needed and more. We loved overlooking the river. Our host was wonderful. We look forward to returning as long as we can get the water view. Hope it was helpful that we threw your linens in the wash. We left the place very clean. Thank you!

Mini beach vacation

Sunny, clean, and convenient. Lovely spot on the water. We enjoyed the tranquility of sitting on the waterfront and soaking in the sunsets. Surprisingly quiet for being right under bridge. We were able to explore much of Sandyhook during our three night stay. Fourth of July, we managed to avoid car traffic by walking over bridge to nearby quiet beach. Bonus of having a private viewing of the fireworks over the water. Good eateries within walking distance. (Also, recommend short drive to Jus organic cafe.) The one drawback was the sofa bed, which was quite uncomfortable. But host, Gary was responsive, and Peter, the maintenance man was particularly helpful.
