NYC is about an hour away by bus, train, or ferry, all accessible within 5 minutes of the home, making this the perfect home base for beach days and city adventures alike.

Nice property, lots of stairs and a lot of locked spaces than expected. Would have liked to have access to the laundry.

Thank you for staying with us and for taking the time to leave a review! We're glad you enjoyed the property overall.
We do want to clarify for future guests that our listing clearly notes that certain spaces are not included in the rental — including the utility closet, garage, cleaning supply closet, and a private bedroom we retain for personal use. This is common in owner-occupied vacation rentals, and we do our best to be transparent about it upfront.
Regarding laundry, we do not advertise laundry access in our listing, so unfortunately that is not an amenity we offer at this time.
We appreciate the feedback about the stairs and will look for ways to make that information more prominent for guests who may have mobility considerations. We hope to welcome you back in the future!
This was a great place to come with a group of friends. House was clean and spacious and very close to beach.

We designed the space to be comfortable and accommodating for larger groups, especially families traveling with kids. It was a pleasure hosting you, and you’re always welcome back anytime!
When arriving the home was exactly what was pictured. The older kids loved the spiral staircase to the room upstairs with more beds. Everyone was able to have their own space. The house had everything we needed for dinners. The outside was enjoyable to relaxing cooking food etc. my family had alittle trouble with the key pad at times to get in the house. But that also could have been user error. The house had enough room for 3 vehicles as well. We had a 6,11 and 1 yo at the house. The 1 yo loved the blocks she found. We did bring our own plates/silverware for our 1 yo to ensure nothing got broken. This was a very family friendly home. Ideal beach we did go to although we preferred sandy beach which isn’t far. The home was close to gas stations, beaches, grocery stores, and piers. Nic’s Hometown Tavern has a good burger as well which is close by The host were very friendly and helped with recommendations during our stay as well.

We're so glad the home lived up to the pictures and that it worked out perfectly for your family, from the spiral staircase the older kids loved to having enough space and parking for everyone, including 3 vehicles. It's great to hear the outdoor space was perfect for cooking and relaxing, and that being close to gas stations, beaches, grocery stores, and piers made day-to-day life easy during your stay. Thanks also for the tip about Nic's Hometown Tavern, we love when guests discover the local favorites! We appreciate the note on the keypad too, we'll make sure it's working smoothly for future guests. So happy to hear the home felt family friendly with kids of all ages, and that the little one found some blocks to enjoy. Thank you again for staying with us, we'd love to host your family again!

We were in town for hockey. This place was spacious, clean and 5 minutes from the rink. The owner is extremely responsive to any communication. It was exactly what we needed to keep the guys fed and well rested. Would definitely stay here again.

This house had everything we needed and more for a family with small children! The home itself was gorgeous and immaculately clean and the living space was huge enough to accommodate a large playpen for our toddler. Check in and check out were easy and the kitchen had everything we needed. The host was very kind, communicative and helpful! I’d stay here again in a heartbeat!

Disliked: Communication, listing accuracy
It was a place to stay. Wouldn’t advise using this place unless you take pictures of everything when you get there and when you leave. We were accused of taking 2 luggage stands and breaking a lock. We used them and left them there. We didn’t have room in our car to take them since we had 6 people and luggage to the top. Really. As for the lock. We didn’t even see one. We were there for a funeral and only slept there at night. No parties and didn’t even go out the back. Good luck with future rentals. You are going to need it.

We’re sorry to hear about your experience during what we understand was a difficult time.
However, we would like to clarify a few important points for future guests. The pantry referenced is clearly labeled as “Private – Owner Use Only” and is secured with a lock, as shown in the listing and within the home.
Guests are respectfully asked not to access this area.
Following your stay, we documented damage to this locked cabinet and missing items, which was submitted through the proper claims process.
For this reason, we respectfully disagree with the statements made in this review.
We take great pride in maintaining a transparent and well kept home, and we encourage all guests to reach out during their stay with any questions or concerns so we can address them promptly.
Everything was great. The house is wonderful. Everything is very clean. It has everything you need to spend time with family and friends. There are places nearby, including the ocean, where you can swim and fish. There are small grocery stores. I had a relaxing weekend. I'll be back next year.

Hello! My family of 14 and I stayed in this home for the long weekend and we had an amazing time. Bring 25 minutes from long branch, the house was a perfect spot not too close to the beach area but also not too far. There were a bunch of grocery stores with close vicinity of the home, such as an authentic Asian/Chinese mark my family and I enjoyed. The backyard is perfect for grilling and chilling as well! The attic bedroom is also PERFECCTTT and soo cozy!

About the host

Hi! I'm Sukhi. I am 29 years old. I live in Middletown, NJ. I enjoy going to the gym, playing tennis, doing yoga, cooking, meeting new people, being outdoors, and more!
Why they chose this property
The great thing about Middletown is that it is very centric to everything. The bus, train, and ferry are all within 5 minutes from the house. I like that everything is about 5 minutes away such as gyms, grocery stores, restaurants, bars, beaches, etc.
What makes this property unique
The house is walking distance to Ideal Beach. It is 0.8 miles away.
