3 bedrooms 1 bathroom. 1 tv in the master living room and 1 tv in the children's bedroom. NO tv in the master bedroom.Good water pressure. Its an old historical home remodeled.You get to stay on Sandy hook. At night there's a sense of community with those who rented as well. If you walk around by sunset. You can tell who are the day trippers vs the not.if you didn't appreciate the simple surroundings of Sandy Hook ..you will now as you're able to explore at your own pace. And make better choices for a day trip. LOL. Definitely recommend doing this at least once if not more times.

Great national park stay

Had a great stay! Property is exactly as shown and the location is unbeatable. We had a little trouble with the electronic lock when we first checked in, but Dan picked up the phone right away and was there in under 20 minutes with fresh batteries and a key.

November Stay

It was clean and comfortable. Had almost everything in the kitchen, loved the privacy and being able to walk everywhere in the park was great. The Mule Shed was fun and on the same road, easy! Would definitely stay again!

Great place to stay

This property is in the perfect spot for going to the beach, NYC, an event at MetLife Stadium and a quiet getaway. The rental was beautiful, well equipped and maintained. Would definitely recommend this for a summer vacation! Gorgeous sunsets, ferry to NYC within minutes, cool evening breezes and wonderful beaches all in one place.

Sr tennis week in SeaBright/Rumson

The old officer quarters on Sandy Hook was unique and in many ways picturesque being on Sandy Hook. House was nice, but tight. Tough only having one bathroom. Easy to get to and a very good spot for biking and swimming in the bay.

Sandy Hook Memories

My husband stayed at this property with his three best friends from high school who all went to MAST which is on Sandy Hook 25 years ago. They loved the property and the location. There was a new restaurant that just opened on the Hook as well as an added bonus. Now our sons, 10 and 13, want to go and stay! We will be back!

A peaceful and charming getaway

We are so fortunate to be able to stay right in Fort Hancock in this charming property. The house was comfortable and clean. The seals were at the bay for the winter. Dan was available to answer any questions we had. We love exploring the Fort, the bay, and the beach. There are so many areas to take long walks. Winter is a great time to be at Sandy Hook. It is a beautiful area to visit.

Great property

We had a great stay here at Fort Hancock in sandy hook. House was even better than the pictures showed. The property gives you great access to the whole park, nearby bars and restaurants, whale watching. Easy to Uber in and out of town. Had a great relaxing 3 days and would 100% rent this again. House is comfortable for 4 or 5 singles and up to 7-8 if you have a bunch of couples. Updates in the kitchen bathroom and queen and king rooms are very nice in the house and you can’t beat the location.

Perfect Location, Awesome House

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay here on Sandy Hook. We love the outdoors (any time of the year) so staying here gave us perfect access to miles of trails and exploring Ft. Hancock. It was also a great location to travel to other areas of interest such as New York City, Asbury Park, the American Dream Mall, among others. The house was beautiful, immaculate, the renovation well done, and well appointed with all that we needed for our stay. The Mule Barn was a convenient short walk up the road with good food and a great atmosphere. Owner was responsive, accommodating, and a pleasure to work with. We look forward to staying here again in the future.

Reunion

This is a great and comfortable property. The views from the front porch, and watching the sun set over the water are amazing. We made use of the kitchen and it was very well appointed other than lacking a cutting board. The small living room was a great place to talk and watch some football with the sun coming through the windows. The bedroom were comfortable and spacious. We all went to high school at Sandy Hook and really enjoyed being back there for the weekend.
