The ideal Highlands getaway!

This was my second stay with Gary and my first stay in the Overlook Cottage. Check-in and check-out were flawless. Easy communication with the host is available when needed. The Overlook Cottage is an outstanding place to stay with incredible views of the Shrewsbury River, Sandy Hook and the NYC skyline. I highly recommend this host and properties!

A Great Jersey Shore Experience

Larry's place is beautiful, clean, and close to many of the restaurants, bars, parks and beaches that I love in the Highlands area. This was my second stay there, and I noticed that he updated some of the appliances. It's a fair value and one of my best vacation rental experiences.

Picture Perfect

We had a great stay! The view was beautiful, the place was clean and cozy. The neighborhood was really quiet and a great seafood restaurant called Bahrs was down the street! It was an an absolutely great experience and Gary and the groundkeeper were so helpful in answering questions and were so available to us. We definitely would recommend this place to anyone. Hidden gem..

Great location- easy to local restaurants and beach access Two large decks - one shared and one private. Back deck has BBQ- we had a quick stay but suggest two nights to get full beach experience
