Shawn was wonderful throughout the entire rental process. Our group consisted of 7 retired friends that spent weekend touring the Monmouth area. The location of home was perfect. Very quaint town. The annual Clam Fest was happening & we had a blast listening to the bands, watching fireworks & hanging out in what felt like small-town America. A lot of fun. House had everything we needed. We provided feedback on some minor things that could be improved (mostly window coverings/blinds) but otherwise a fun place to stay.

Beautiful home - exactly what we were looking for

My daughter & her 6 friends rented for after-prom house for 2 nights. This house is adorable, immaculate and super roomy. Shawn was super attentive, allowing early/late check-in/out as well as providing any/all area info and was in constant communication. We’re locals and I can confirm that this is a great little town with all amenities within walking distance, including restaurants, coffee/bakery, convenience stores, hiking trails, beaches and stunning views. Girls are hoping to rent again for first summer break from college next year. Look no further!

Six Flags & Beach

My friends and I (grad students from NYC) were looking for a large place to stay, after a long day at Six Flags, where we could cook a potluck and chatter into the night. Shawn was very accommodating with a later check-in and check-out so that we could eat lunch and clean up the next day after getting a good night’s sleep. 100% will come again. The place was amazing and the small park nearby has an amazing view of the beach and fall leaves.
