The family needed to recharge and reset! We had a wonderful stay, the big bay window was perfect to watch the river from. The bedrooms were perfect and big enough for the three of us and our chocolate lab. We will definitely be back!

This place is so special to us. It's surrounded by water. Easily walkable to restaurants and bars in a safe environment. It's cozy but airy and filled with views of the waterway. Has all the amenities you need - full kitchen and bath, porch, grill. It has off street parking so that is easy to unpack. More designed for couples or a small family. Larger accommodations in the same complex exist. We go across the causeway to Seabright to the beat seafood restaurant- 2nd Jetty. And the owners of this property are hands on. They are very responsive but also respect your privacy. Overall, it's a perfect place to unwind without thinking too much about the typical travel stressors.

We were so happy to find your adorable AND pet friendly AND waterfront spot - with Sandy Hook and so many eateries nearby. We’re from the area - and spent many summer dinners at Moby’s and the Sands beach club, it was wonderful to be in a bright cozy space with a well-equipped kitchen and oh my, 3 TVs. Highly recommend - but yes, as others note, the stairs are steep, and dark. Pack lightly 😄!

We absolutely loved our stay here! The location is perfect - close to so many restaurants in Highlands, Atlantic Highlands, and nearby Rumson and Fair Haven.
The cottage was clean and well kept, we had plenty of space, and incredible views right on the water! We will absolutely be back!

This property is amazing with beautiful views of the water with boats and birds and abundant sunshine from a great deck. The 2 bedroom unit we were in was spacious and lovely and also had great views from the large living and dining areas. The nearby walks to the seaside Highlands restaurants and looking to the bridge to Sandy Hook were so nice. All in all, a great location and lovely place to stay with very nice managers.

We LOVED our stay, and the host was extremely helpful and made us feel very welcome. The location of this rental was perfect - waterfront, close to restaurants, nice neighborhood, close to beaches. The rental itself was a great size for our family of three, and we had all the necessities needed. We are going to make this our new family tradition and return every year to one of the waterfront rentals this exceptional host offers!

Great location, in walking distance to 3 great restaurants. Right on the water, beautiful view from outside deck. The care keeper was fabulous. Worth every penny. As mentioned by others, stairs in front are narrow and steep, also back stairs to deck easily accessible and more sturdy. Beds were pretty good. The beach pass to Sandy Hook is a plus. There are 5 sections, no swimming at A or B. The tide was pretty strong but there are life guards, bathrooms and outside showers. People also rent beach chairs although there are a couple you can use at the rental. There are also a couple food trucks including soft serve ice cream. Other areas to visit within a couple miles with lookout towers from the lighthouse. I would def go back.

Inviting nautical decor, two large decks, offering different, close-up perspectives of the Highlands-Sea Bridge and the extensive, active waterfront. I felt as though I was on an island, surrounded by water. The location of Overlook Cottage is excellent, easy walk to restaurants, short drive to beach. My dog and I thoroughly enjoyed our 3-day stay. My sister and parents joined us for part of it.

All the other five star reviews about this property are spot on. What an incredible view!! We had prompt and friendly communication with the host. And such a pretty kitchen, living room, and bedrooms! The only issue was the fact that we had to leave. We will most certainly be back!

Had a wonderful time at this property. Communicating with Gary + team was always prompt and efficient, and they were so wonderful and kind to us. Would caution against staying for handicapped folks, the stairs are narrow, but other than that it was wonderful. The location is great especially if you’re hoping to walk around and not have to drive anywhere, which we loved.
