Bright and Airy 6- Room Apartment

LizRating, 5 stars4 months ago
My twin sons go to college nearby and we were visiting family for Thanksgiving and this was the perfect place for us to stay at and feel at home while we were away. Great location and a cozy private apt that had everything we needed. Definitely stay here again! Roomy place in a very pretty neighborhood.

NYC,apt 10 minutes away! 2 Bedrooms

LynnRating, 5 stars1 week ago
One of the best Airbnbs we have stayed in. The place had everything we needed, with so many beautiful thoughtful touches, like eggs, bread, jam etc when we arrived. It took us 20 minutes to get into Times Sq via the bus and we never waited more than 5 mins for a bus. The owners are just really nice people and we can't recommend them, and their Airbnbs, more highly.

Modern 1 bedroom Apt all 4 u near EWR airport/ NYC

AbdullateefRating, 5 stars2 days ago
I had a wonderful stay at this cozy. The place was clean, stylish, and thoughtfully arranged definitely exceeded my expectations. It felt more like a chic urban retreat than just a regular rental. The apartment had great natural lighting, and I appreciated the blinds and privacy features already in place. The A/C was well-installed and worked perfectly, keeping the space cool and quiet. I felt very safe and secure throughout my stay. The furniture was modern and very comfortable especially the living room setup, which made it easy to relax, read, or stream a movie after a long day. I also really appreciated the little touches: drink,water and cookies, we were hungry at the time we arrived and that help us settled in before going to a near by restaurant to grab some food also appreciate the well-stocked kitchen essentials. The bed was super comfy and gave me a great night of sleep. The setup between floors was seamless, and the locks and doors were solid and secure.

Conveniently Located - New Luxury Townhome

RachelRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
We loved our extended stay here. Bare bones house but exactly what was pictured. The shower in the en-suite is fantastic. I would only change the window treatments in the main bedroom they are too small to actually block the sun. Also the pool table is not full size and there are no tables to put drinks on etc. bring your own mugs too. All in all we had a good time and would stay here again. Thank you!

Beautiful home in ortley with private beach access

JaymeRating, 5 stars9 months ago
We had a great stay! The house was stunning, close to the beach and the boardwalk. Mike met us at the house and showed us the house and the surroundings. We left a cell phone at house and checked prior to realizing it was still in there. Mike was actually out of the country and was doing his best to get the cell phone mailed to us. Much appreciated! Would love to stay again.

We were not expecting to have a great time on this trip and we were pleasantly surprised! The location could not have been better, the size for the price was amazing, and the house had an immediate Lajolla California feel to it! We were very happy with our stay and the price was not beatable by a Longshot! Thank You so much if we return to New Jersey we will definitely check with Alyson first!

Peaceful Getaway

EmmaRating, 5 stars3 months ago
My family really enjoyed staying here for Christmas! We have family nearby so the location worked well for us- it’s also a plus to be walking distance to Main St shops and restaurants (our favorites, Vic’s and Darcy’s)!We travel with our dogs and this house was really comfortable for them which makes us happy and feel at home as well. Big backyard and nice neighborhood for walking. Most airbnbs we’ve stayed in lack seating but Tiffany’s large sectional with dining table for 6 in an open concept downstairs was a great perk. Tiffany made check in and check out extremely easy and made us feel relaxed about being away from home. Would love to stay again for our next trip to the shore!

Fully renovated modern beach home in Ortley Beach

Great family house. 6 adults and two very little children. Kitchen is spacious and the large and beautiful island was a great gathering spot for all. Grilled out in secluded yard that has outdoor furniture and fire pits. Added perks of boogie boards, beach umbrellas, etc. Large grocery store around corner. This house had everything that we needed for a week of respite and family fun.

Bayside bungalow only a few blocks from the beach

NoraRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Such a lovely condo in a fantastic location! Roger's instructions were clear, the space was comfortable (2 bathrooms!), and we had a great time visiting family in Toms River while also enjoying Seaside/Lavalette. It was rainy during our trip, but the view from the covered balcony was still beautiful! The easy parking was a huge plus too. Thank you!
