Frida's Abode on the Bayshore

David MichaelRating, 5 stars7 months ago

Lonny is the best! She was a very kind and accommodating host. She helped set me up to work in her sun room every day and has a great kitchen to cook meals. She even gave me some of her home-grown peppers to take home with me. When I forgot my shirt she was willing to ship it to me (along with a credit card I forgot at a nearby restaurant). Lonny goes above and beyond!

Atlantic Highlands Carriage House: Rooftop Jewel!

EmilyRating, 5 stars2 days ago

Took my sisters here for a birthday get-away. It was perfect for us. This place is private and quiet which really made us feel safe being a house full of girls. There was a list inside with great locations to visit and we found an amazing restaurant right by the water. My personal favorite was the deck which had a cozy hammock and seating to enjoy the outdoors. It was a sweet cozy spot if you're looking to have some privacy and enjoy a weekend away. Kelly was extremely helpful and responded quickly to any inquiries we had.

Great place to stay at if you decide to go the beach the next day, other than that the value can seem a bit high if you aren’t doing that. Overall good place.

Oceanfront with beach access! Loft at North Beach

BennettRating, 5 stars9 months ago

The Loft at 196 is not only in a pristine location, but is hosted by two great and friendly people. Marisol greeted me as I first arrived and was very willing to help me get set in, if I required. I met Charles later and contacted him more than once about recommendations. After discovering I had an interest in mountain biking, he did not only recommend a place nearby, but provided me the bike and all the required gear to do so. He contacted restaurants nearby on my behalf and gave me updates about local events. There was no pressure to go to things I didn't care for, but all the opportunity to do so. Opportunity that I would not have had on my own. Lastly, the beach was amazing. I grew up going to the forearm of Cape Cod where we would always have strong waves and good sandbars at low tide. I found both of these again at Sea Bright. The only difference was that at The Loft, I was less than a minute away from the beach whenever I felt like going. Thank you again, Charlie and Marisol.

Private room in Leonardo

Peaceful Home by the Sea

LarryRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

It was easy to bond with Siobhan and feel at ease at this unpretentious, comfortable stay. The bedroom has its own lock, the full-sized bed was firm, and there was a private bathroom with ample towels. Siobhan set out material about nearby Sandy Hook National Park and recommended a new Mexican restaurant well within walking distance. If you like to get a run or walk into your day, check out the trails at either Hartshorne or Huber Woods county parks. Also, the bayside Henry Hudson Trail, with views of Manhattan, is nearby. My restaurant recommendation is JUS Organic (vegetarian), one mile away in Atlantic Highlands. Though our schedules did not permit us to interact much, I was touched by Siobhan's gracious hospitality.
