I loved my stay at this cute little eclectic house. The beds were comfortable and I had everything I needed. The hosts were great and quick to respond to questions. I would happily stay here again.
We absolutely loved staying here! The house is so charming and in a great location close to restaurants/bars, the grocery store, and the beach. Highly recommend!

Very accommodating. Fantastic stay!
Very friendly upon arriving. Allowed us to use anything on the property and was very accommodating with regards to arrival/departure times.
We are repeat guests and always enjoy our time at Mohegan Wood. Close to all our favorite spots, immaculate, and peaceful. We look forward to returning!
There is a reason we return here—it truly is a sanctuary and was a much-needed respite after an incredibly hectic first half of the year. Always grateful for our time here and for the thoughtfulness and attention to detail of the hosts!
Everything is better at the beach and this is especially true if you stay at Mohegan Wood. Great location, thoughtfully appointed, clean and beautiful home! A true sanctuary.
We loved our stay! The house was cozy and just right for us. It was close enough to everything but not in the middle of the craziness that can happen closer to town and the beach! The host was very welcoming! We would definitely book this house again!

About the host
Hosted by Karin and Will
Will and Karin are both in the hospitality/restaurant business in Manhattan. Karin first fell in love with Manasquan when she first visited as a child and has been a regular ever since. Will grew up traveling and was introduced to Manasquan ten years ago. Together, their goal for Mohegan Wood is for every visitor to fall in love with all Manasquan has to offer in addition to it's famous beach.
Why they chose this property
Mohegan Wood is a beautiful, soulful home that Karin and Will use themselves in addition to sharing it with others. Because of this the house is maintained and cared for, with more put into it than an "investment" property. Quality is always the first consideration rather than what's cheapest.
What makes this property unique
There are many benefits to staying at Mohegan Wood but the primary benefit has to be that when staying here you feel at home like a local instead of visiting like a tourist.
