If you enjoy all the nuances of staying in a historic home, this is the place to be. The woodwork, ceilings and stairs are beautifully restored. The new front door and windows fit perfectly. It’s sweetly decorated. Bathroom downstairs has all you need and the kitchen is inviting to hang out and cook. Queen bedroom is cozy and bright, the second bedroom has a trundle bed suitable for small children. The location is on a sometimes busy street weekdays but so close to the Toms River with its boardwalk and gazebo, fun watching all that crabbing, Bay and the beaches. Beth and Brian are super friendly and responsive. Front porch great for coffee, side yard with table and chairs. Nice gas BBQ. All you need!

This is a lovely house situated in a lovely area and only a couple of minute's walk to the lake, a nice quiet area. The house has everything you need, the bathroom is downstairs but wasn't a problem for us, overall I would highly recommend this property.

Our family stayed for 4 nights in August 2018 - visiting family nearby. Our children (9, 11) felt immediately comfortable in this beautiful home. They literally had everything you could possibly need during your stay. Never did I think "I wish they had ....". Cannot recommend enough - we will definitely be back. 10 stars if possible!!
