It was a beautiful property. We wanted to celebrate a friend's babyshower with 5 families converging from across the country and this was a great home to entertain. It was pet friendly, kid friendly, and had ample space for parking. Clicked all of our boxes.

Big group for an NYC visit

Our family of three kids, spouses, and seven grandkids had a very nice spot to stage a day trip into NYC. The immediate neighborhood is very nice, the house large and friendly. A good place for starting and ending rest.

Large spacious house great for big groups.

The check in was very simple, doors have codes so no keys to carry. Bedrooms have locks which is a nice added level of security. The yard is great for gatherings. A small fire pit made it nice on the chilly nights. This is a great place to stay, out group of 11 had a great time.

Family Gathering

The property owner made our family gathering so convenient and comfortable. The house is absolutely perfect for a large group. We were 18 (7 adults and 11 kids). There was so much room in the house and the back porch and yard are added bonuses.

Nice House, Safe Neighborhood

The house is beautiful, large enough for our big family. The upstairs bedroom is hot during the day but cooled at night. Easy 30 minute train ride to NYC Penn Station. Beds are very comfy.

Perfect for our family.

Doug was great to work with. He helped arrange some groceries for us before we arrived and responded to all of our needs while we were there. My only complaint was that the house was so comfortable that we couldn’t get our kids to want to leave to see NYC:).

Provided a roof over my head...

The property has plenty of potential. The owner has done the bare minimum to get this onto VRBO and make a profit. It's really lipstick on a pig...

The owner worked hard to meet our unique needs.

From multiple arrivals at different times to make sure the babies in our crew had beds, the owner worked very hard to meet our needs. He was great to give advice on the community and what to do. The home was beautiful, and large, and met the needs of our large group well. The home and yard were well-kept. We don't make it to this area often but if we do again we would definitely stay here again.

Amazing vacation place

Our stay was amazing but please ask questions about things such as laundry and the fireplace to know where things are located and how to use them. Reason, the W/D door is locked and had to locate the key, no problem but good to know. Had a situation with the fireplace should be resolved before the next renter and please locate all smoke alarms just for safety precautions. Host was very helpful and responded to all inquires promptly. Highly recommend

Lots of good, a bit needs improvement

There is a lot that's good about this property. The owner/manager is very attentive and communication was great. One of us left an item and he had it mailed to us for no cost, which was very thoughtful. The place would probably be great in good weather as there is a large backyard and patio. As described, the neighborhood is quiet and it's about a 15 minute walk to the train. It's hard to find large homes to hold a large family gathering, so we were pleased to find it. Unfortunately, during our stay in December it was very cold and the heating system wasn't up for the job. On the 2nd floor, two bedrooms never got warm (heating didn't seem to work hardly at all) and in two they were really hot. Also, note that while the office can be set up for a 6th bedroom, it only has curtains separating it from the main living room.

Responsive Owner and Nice Neighborhood

The owner, Doug, was very responsive and helpful throughout our stay. The house was big enough to accommodate my large family, beautiful in design, and was clean. The beds were very comfortable, the kitchen had everything you need for your stay, and I can't share enough about the joys of how the house was able to accommodate our large family with small children. We got 3 parking spaces in the back of the house and there was ample parking on the street. The neighborhood is nice, safe, and provides the ability for a nice walk or jog if you want to. The check-in a day check-out process was extremely simple and user friendly. The house looks exactly like the pictures and the backyard is large. I loved the historic look. I would definitely stay here again with my large family. The only surprise was that there is a family who lives in the basement, but they did not bother us (we didn't notice them until we saw them periodically wall outside to their car). Lovely home!

Family Get-away

The house is located in a very nice residential neighborhood. While the house is 99 years old , it was clean and electronically updated. Its proximity to the Elizabeth train station made it an ideal location for our daily trips into New York City. It was only 35 minutes from the house to Penn Station in the city. The only small issue was that the refrigerator did not have a filtered water dispenser/ice maker. The house did have a stand alone water dispenser which required purchasing several 5 gallon jugs of water. There was a small stand-alone ice maker which was not adequate for the 10 of us. So, we used ice cube trays in the freezer to make ice. That was the only issue (minor) we had for the week. The house was really perfect for what we needed; a place to relax after a very busy day sightseeing in the city.

Amazing host and space

Douglass was so accommodating to my large group. I traveled with a dance team of 23 and we all had ample space to hang out and sleep. We are so appreciative and it was a great property to spend the weekend :)
