About this house rental

This recently restored lieutenants quarters on officer's row is set in a beautiful and tranquil setting with lots of charm and character. The home is actually a duplex and built in 1939 renovated 2016. Down stairs is a living room, dining room (seats 8-10), new kitchen, small bunk bed room, and a comfortable side porch with bay breezes. Upstairs there are three bedrooms (2 Queen size one with one with two singles) and two bathrooms (master bathroom is ensuite). Also a pull out coach in the living room. This is the first season offering this home for rent (sorry it is not ADA compliant, due to its age). It is a supporting structure in a Historic District, and the country's oldest light house is in your back yard.

Sandy Hook is part of the Gateway National Recreation area and consists of 2,200 acres of beaches, bike paths, bird watching and water sports. Within walking distance of the home there are beaches, bike rental, museums and historic landmarks. Featuring some of the coastal fortifications of WWI and WWII.

Beautiful stay in Sandy Hook park. Loved the easy access to so many wonderful beaches on the bay side and the ocean side, freedom to roam the park on bike whenever and wherever we wanted, great sunsets from the front porch, and the lovely house. Even the 5 teenagers liked it! Thank you so much for letting us stay in your beach house!

When my wife and I went into the house my wife turned to me and said “ You did good”. That pretty much sums up our stay in the house. It is comfortable, clean, well decorated and in a perfect location for watching the sunset over the bay. There are lots of things to do or it is a perfect place to do nothing at all.

We very much enjoyed our stay at Fort Hancock, lovely home and accommodations. Area is being restored and has a lot of history provided when walking the grounds. Would stay again.

Fabulous property in a fascinating location: we loved exploring historic Ft. Hancock just outside the door! 15 minute drive to delicious restaurants and Mass at the Catholic Church. A comfortable mattress, lovely towels, and enough hot water for 7 people made our stay very relaxing. You won’t be sorry if you stay here!

This is a place like no other. Fort Hancock is super quiet at night and in the early morning and you feel like you are on another planet. Peace, quiet and nature sounds abound. The home has been lovingly restored. It IS an old home, though and has quirks as one would expect. The kitchen is well appointed, grill is well maintained and mattresses and towels are ample and high quality. Only a labor of love could make this space a home and Brian has done it. Happy to have had this adventure trip at his place!

We’ve been visiting Sandy Hook on day trips for years and decided to try a week instead of our usual vacation at LBI. By the time the week was over, everyone agreed this was more relaxing and interesting than our previous vacations. Brian was great with communication and quick to respond to any questions we had. Looking forward to returning. Thanks Brian.

We absolutely loved staying at this property! It was quiet, an assortment of beaches to try - the ocean for the big waves, the bay side for the littles to play in the sand and water safely. Riding the provided bikes around the National park was so much fun. The house is equipped with everything you need and then some. We are both tea and coffee drinkers, so the electric kettle was such a thoughtful addition. Our family really wanted a quiet relaxing getaway, so the lack of people and traffic was dreamy. All of the beaches we visited were clean and uncrowded. We did stay mostly at the far end of the park, and most of the activity was at the other end. We also cooked all of our meals and the kitchen was well-equipped and the grill worked perfectly. We really have nothing bad to say at all about this property and are planning on renting again next summer!
