NYC to Zen - Spa Bungalow w/ Hot Tub, Gym - Walk to the Beach + Ferry Access

Welcome to your ultimate coastal escape—just a Seastreak ferry ride away from NYC. This 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom beach bungalow in Highlands, NJ, blends beachy-boho charm with spa-style amenities for the perfect weekend reset.

Spread across two floors, the home features airy, laid-back interiors, a fully equipped kitchen, and cozy, thoughtfully designed bedrooms. Step out onto the deck to grill on the gas BBQ, then wind down with a soak in the outdoor hot tub or gather around the fire pit under the stars. For an added wellness touch, rinse off in the serene outdoor shower or test your limits with a cold plunge bucket (ice available for purchase just down the block!).

Our private garage gym keeps your routine going strong, and when it's time to explore, you'll find coffee shops, restaurants, a dispensary, and a few great local bars all within walking distance. Sandy Hook Beach is right around the corner, Sea Bright is just a quick drive away, and the ferry to NYC is less than a mile from your door.

Whether you're here to relax, recharge, or just get a taste of the Jersey Shore without the crowds—this spot checks every box.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and 2 bathrooms, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and a kitchen island.

I loved everything about this trip. The house was beautiful—boho beachy vibes, super clean, and really unique. It honestly felt like a retreat. The gym was well equipped, which is a plus for me and my active fiancée! Also, the outdoor setup was on point. The outdoor shower at night, under the stars, was unreal. Hot tub sessions in the evening were also a favorite.The location was perfect—tons of spots to eat and drink nearby. Farmacie had amazing pastries. One day we walked over the bridge to a chill, low-key beach, and the next day we drove 8 minutes to Sea Bright. We didn’t even make it to Sandy Hook, but that’s on the list for next time. Definitely coming back.
