The house is very charming, comfortable and clean. The neighborhood is peaceful yet well situated for walking, biking, a day at the beach and there is no shortage of restaurants and bars nearby. We also appreciated the thoughtful amenities throughout the house. We would definitely try to stay here again if returning to the Highlands!

From the moment you walk in, the Beach Lodge feels more like your friend's beautifully designed home than a rental. The open floor plan is perfect for groups, and the location in Highlands is perfect too, within walking distance to beaches, waterfront restaurants, and shops.  The house is immaculate and has everything you could possibly need - they offer hotel-like amenities and I especially loved how stocked the kitchen was! Cherisse's welcome guide is a game-changer too, with spot-on local recommendations that basically plan your trip for you. This was my second visit and I took the Seastreak Ferry over from Manhattan this time. It’s conveniently down the street and only takes 1 hr (plus it's dog friendly). Cherisse is the kind of host who has genuinely thought of everything, I highly recommend staying here!!!

Great house and location

Can’t say enough about how much we enjoyed our stay here! The house is fully equipped - more than enough to prepare a gourmet meal! Washer and dryer were also very handy to have. We didn’t lack for anything, and the home was immaculate! Close by is a nice coffee shop and other conveniences. What a pleasant visit we had and we plan on returning again!

House w Character

We were looking an alternative location to visit NYC, and stumbled across this amazing house located in the Highlands of NJ. We were a short trip to two separate sea streak ferry ports, Sandy Hook, and charming restaurants. We got our Italian and bagel fix- while taking a ferry ride into NyC for two days. The house itself is so comfortable, with tons of small details that made our stay amazing. We will be back!

“Boho Beach Bungalow RETREAT”

We had a fantastic stay in the Highlands. Every bit of the home description (And More) is accurate. We have family in the area and love visiting the NJ shore. Cherisse was so easy to communicate with and even accommodated an unexpected early arrival. (Thank you again 🙏) The property is clean, quiet, comfortable and easy access to everything. Early morning walk to bakery, casual lunch down on the water and family beach time galore. We can’t wait to come back!! Thank you for a wonderful stay and so many great memories.

Fantastic

Everything you can want in a rental and more. The house is so comfortable and the extras are perfect (bikes, toys, Sandy Hook pass). We were here for a wedding so we did not use the kitchen much but it was well equipped. The Highlands neighborhood was fun to explore. Start the day with coffee at the Farmacie and take it from there. All in all a great Jersey shore vibe. Thanks to the hosts. If we ever come back to the area: this would be our top choice of place to stay.
