The View of the Boats!

This property is perfectly situated on the bay, we had a relaxing time watching the boards and jet skies go by. Superb walking distance to so many top notch restaurants and ice cream stops. Couldn’t have had a more serene view of the bay.

It is truly one of a kind.

Amazing location, house and host! Location is perfect and the property is clean and well kept. Very stress free stay from check in ‘til check out. Gary is very prompt with response and Peter is very friendly. The neighbors are also very nice. I surely will come back if we are headed to this location again for our next vacation.

Highlands slice of heaven

Some friend and I stayed for a fishing trip. It was absolutely perfect. The floating docks out back provided a great fly in and out spot for days of fun fishing. The restaurant Off the Hook right up the block has excellent food, service, and great local people. The live music is a bonus. We will be back as much as possible. Gary was the most gracious host I have met!

Fishing trip

We booked this location to be close to the fishing. We brought 2 boats and we fished and relaxed in comfort and style. We extended our stay a couple days and they upgraded us to an even nicer house. We will definitely do this again. Great place good friends great fishing. Thanks Gary and family for the 5 star spot. See you soon.

Perfect location!

This house couldn’t have been in a better spot for our family. We could ride our bikes to the beach, the local park and trails and there were lots of choices of restaurants within walking distance. The house itself had everything we needed. It’s a great space and all the windows let in so much light, it felt like we were actually on the water watching the boats go by. The host was very responsive, helpful and flexible. Looking forward to coming back here!

Relaxing water view

Ideal waterfront location with amazing views. Relaxing time away! Close to restaurants in town and Sandy Hook beaches. All the amenities you could ask for. Comfortable bed. We are repeat customers, staying on this and other properties by same owner, all are waterfront. This one is more spacious than the others. Host is very attentive. No complaints.

We were looking for a place on the water and Larry’s place fit the bill!

We had everything we needed and great local spots for meals. Felt like we were staying in a boat (water views everywhere) without the motion sickness! Lovely place - we plan to book again !!
