Lovely cottage with friendly neighbors and in walking distance to everything you need! Small area to walk your dog about 50 feet away. The porch is perfect! Read, have a cocktail or coffee, and chat with friends. The place was spotless! Super comfortable bed and bathroom was not too small! Communicating with Gary was easy and Peter, the Super welcomed us and was very helpful with local restaraunts and tips on fishing. Grounds are immaculate and full of flowers. Stay here! You will not be disappointed!

Loved my stay!! Location was amazing! Hartshorne Woods Park is around the corner so I took my dog for daily winter walks. Sandy Hook is also within walking distance so we took a beach walk as well. Adorable beach bungalow with absolutely everything you need! Close to everything! Will definitely stay there again!! Gary and Pete were super helpful!!

The property is well maintained, offering ample parking and an excellent view with easy access to the bay. It features generous seating in a peaceful, serene setting directly overlooking the water.

Our stay was great. A perfect space to get away. Just a stones throw from a beautiful national park site with great beaches and a bay side worth seeing with small children. From the house you can walk to many restaurants and and an ice cream place. Owners and property managers were onsite everyday and easy to communicate with. We will be back!

It was sidewalk/street side. Needs an exterminator. Caretaker of property smoking constantly and smoke was entering our unit thru the window air conditioners. Way over priced.
