Highlands Beach Getaway

My husband, three children and I had an exceptional time staying at this lovely seaside escape. I have never had a nicer or more welcoming host; the view is gorgeous and it’s a great location to local eateries and a short drive to Sandy Hook Beach or the Seastreak ferry to NYC. Would recommend for families and friends looking for a casual beach residence and a great location!

Overall good rental.

House was neat and clean with bathroom on each floor. Check-in process was fairly easy. Communication with property manager was good and direct. Location was excellent, walking distance from nearby restaurants. Beach was a very short 5 min drive. Roof and deck areas were enjoyable with great views. Would say rental listing was just not 100% accurate when it comes to accommodation needs. The way it’s set up I would say it sleeps 3 people comfortably instead of 4 or more. Would recommend for smaller groups. Other than that I would give 4/5 stars.

Perfection!

We absolutely loved our stay! Most perfect spot in all the Highlands! Cozy, convenient and fun sums it up here! We loved being able to walk everywhere in town, we loved the openness of the house, we loved the outdoor spaces- coffee on the deck of the kitchen, wine all the way up top on the rooftop deck to watch the sunsets and fireworks (it was 4th of July) and the owner Gerald was so easy and nice to work with, absolute perfection! Book your stay today!!

Perfect for Us

The property was better than advertised for us. Comfortable, great location. Nothing too fancy, easy to relax in. Plenty of good restaurants to talk to. Sandy Hook close by. Didn't know Highlands, NJ well before this, but really enjoyed it. You can see the ocean, and the river from the top deck. Our host, Gerald, could not have been nicer. Communications easy, check in easy. Extremely helpful with recommendations. My only regret is that we didn't get to hear him play the saxophone! There was just two of us, in our mid sixties. There are 2 bedrooms on separate floors each with its own bathroom, plenty of privacy. Kitchen is more than adequate but we ate out most of the time. We were there over Labor Day week end and into the week after that, enjoying the beginning of "Locals Summer" . Easy to get to NYC via the ferry which is about 1 mile away. This was a jewel of the Jersey Shore
