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!

Perfect Long Weekend
I had a meeting in the area for work and decided to make it a small getaway for my family. It was the best trip we've had on a while. Plenty of awesome restaurants in walking distance, as well as a playground and beachfront for the kids to play. The property itself was comfortable and beautiful. The owner was kind and helpful. The ensuite laundry is a bonus, too. Literally not a bad word to say. We'll be back!

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.

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.

We were stuck in traffic and arrived an hour later than we had planned. The hosts said that it was no worry at all. The house was exactly as advertised and we had an amazing time. We only stayed one night, but honestly we wish we would’ve stayed longer.

We really enjoyed the stay here. It was very clean and quiet. The people at the property were friendly and helpful. Food within walking distance. The pass to Sandy Hook was nice to have. The only thing we didn’t anticipate was the steep set of stairs to get in and out of the apartment.
