About this house rental
Spread across three stories, our home has been thoughtfully updated while preserving the details that give an older home its warmth and personality. Original wood trim, hardwood floors and exposed brick chimneys are complemented by vintage and antique pieces throughout the house, thoughtfully mixed with comfortable modern furnishings and conveniences. The result is a home that feels warm, interesting and collected over time — not like a typical rental.
With 5 bedrooms, 2 full baths and 1 half bath, The House offers plenty of room for families and groups to spend time together while still having space to spread out.
Relax in the sunroom/sitting room overlooking the garden, gather together in the main living spaces, or head up to the third floor to enjoy the entertainment loft.
Traveling with children? We’ve tried to make traveling with little ones easier.
One of the five bedrooms is a dedicated nursery/children’s room, located just beyond the laundry room and adjoining the king bedroom — especially convenient for parents who want younger children nearby.
The room is thoughtfully equipped for children from infancy through approximately age 6–7, with a crib, rocking chair, blackout curtains, children’s chairs, toys, games, puzzles, age-appropriate books and plenty of stuffies. Shelving is secured with young children in mind.
With advance notice, the crib can also be converted to a toddler/day bed for children up to approximately age 3–4.
Our updated kitchen is fully equipped for enjoying meals at home, whether you’re preparing breakfast before heading out for the day or gathering everyone together for dinner.
There’s also a separate coffee pantry, perfect for starting the morning without taking over the kitchen.
And yes — even the refrigerator is a little fun! Our brand-new refrigerator provides filtered water, traditional ice and craft ice spheres, which have quickly become a guest favorite for drinks and entertaining.
The home also includes a dedicated laundry room with updated appliances, particularly convenient for families and longer stays.
For guests who like to keep up with their routine while traveling, exercise equipment is available in the laundry room, including a stationary ab machine and free weights.
Other comforts include a Samsung Frame TV, a beautiful clawfoot soaking tub, central air and blackout curtains.
Outside is one of our favorite parts of The House.
Enjoy the front porch, back deck, fenced backyard, gardens and private patio. There are plenty of places to have your morning coffee, enjoy a meal outside or simply relax after a day exploring the area.
Indoor and outdoor dining can accommodate up to 12 guests, making the house especially comfortable for families and groups who want to gather together.
A large private driveway provides off-street parking for up to 4 cars, a wonderful convenience in the area.
And then there’s the location.
The House gives you the feel and space of a neighborhood home while putting so much within easy reach.
We’re approximately 2 blocks from the train, providing convenient access toward New York City and the Jersey Shore, and about 2 blocks from the waterfront.
You can also leave the car behind and walk downtown to restaurants, cafés, delis, live music and neighborhood spots.
It’s a wonderful home base for guests who want to explore New York City, spend time along the Jersey Shore, visit family and friends in the area, or simply settle in and enjoy the house.
What we love most about The House is the combination of old and new.
The original hardwood floors, woodwork and exposed brick sit comfortably alongside renovated spaces, modern furnishings and conveniences. Vintage and antique pieces throughout the home add character without sacrificing comfort.
The House isn’t meant to feel like a generic rental. It’s a real home — comfortable, spacious, welcoming and full of interesting details.
Whether you’re gathering generations of family, traveling with children, visiting friends, heading into New York or spending time at the Jersey Shore, we hope you’ll settle in, spread out and truly enjoy your time here.
Welcome to The House.
