Overall the house was good, just wish there had been more lighting and more clarity on where some basic things like towels were. Also, the shower didn't have even the basic of body wash, shampoo, etc that we could find.
This was our 3rd stay at the property, first stay in this specific unit. The family and everyone around the property are all very friendly. The unit has beautiful water views from the large deck on either side. So close to all the best of Highlands. The unit could use updated furniture. Especially the outdoor furniture since the outdoor space is likely where you’ll be spending your time. But anywhere on this property is the place to stay in Highlands!
We've stayed here before and simply love the location. Our retriever/pit mix enjoyed both porches as we did too. Had the whole local family come over for a Sunday old fashioned dinner. We'll be back.
Great little place on the water near several historical sites and restaurants. The host was willing to have us check in early and stay later which was a nice benefit.
Highly recommend visting this gem. It was a great location and the back deck was so peaceful in the morning overlooking the water. The listing was exactly as described and was very clean. We would stay again.
Great location on the water and tons of great options to eat around the corner, and sea streak station into the city in close proximity. Communication and check in were a breeze, and a check in suprised of soda bread and homemade butter were on the counter for st Pattie’s day.
A stress-free stay. We were kindly greeted when we arrived and shown where we could park and where the keys to the unit were. It is on the second floor and stairs are a little steep. Very clean unit with two patios with a nice view. Overall would recommend!
Really enjoyed our stay in the Highlands. There were beautiful views along with comfortable outside seating on two different decks. Everything you needed for your stay, including a Keurig coffee maker. The interior was very well maintained. The couch and beds were very comfortable along with soft pillows. There are several restaurants in walking distance. Our golden doodle enjoyed catching the breeze on the deck. I highly recommend this rental.
Peter and Gary were fantastic. Peter was always available even for a nice conversation. Our neighbors were nice and the views were fantastic. We stayed 2 months and would come back for a quick get away for sure.
We absolutely loved our stay here! The location is perfect - close to so many restaurants in Highlands, Atlantic Highlands, and nearby Rumson and Fair Haven.
The cottage was clean and well kept, we had plenty of space, and incredible views right on the water! We will absolutely be back!
