Elegant 2BR Apt. near the George Washington Bridge

FionaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
We stayed here as a family of 4 whilst sight seeing in New York. The apartment very comfortably accommodated us all. We cooked several meals and the kitchen was well equiped and had everything we needed. There is a big hypermarket about 5 mins walk away. The beds were extremely comfortable and the apartment building and surrounding area was quiet. It was about 7 or 8 minutes walk to get to the bus to get over the George Washington Bridge and then onto the Subway system. All in all this was a great place to stay.

Two Bedrooms on the 1st Floor w/ 1 Parking Space

ChelseaRating, 5 stars4 months ago
Great location. Quiet neighborhood. Exactly like the photos. Nicaury was so helpful and responds right away. Didn’t even have to ask and she would send recommendations for food shopping and help with the trains and location. She was the best host we have had yet! Thank you for the great weekend. My daughter enjoyed NYC for her birthday! Definitely recommend. We’ll be staying again for the next NYC trip as long as she isn’t booked. :)

Clean, one BR apartment.

FilipRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Amazing value for an airbnb, just like the photos the place is spotless and very nicely decorated. Everything is super fancy from the provided body wash to the kate spade blankets. It is an actual private apartment unlike many similar listings which are just a section of someone's home. As an added bonus the cleaning includes any dirty dishes which really helped out when rushing in the morning. If we are ever in the area again we will be sure to stay here!

Conveniently Located - New Luxury Townhome

RachelRating, 5 stars1 month 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.

Peaceful Getaway

EmmaRating, 5 stars4 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!

Beautiful Historic Ocean Grove Cottage

JacobRating, 5 stars2 months ago
Cute beach cottage with a beautiful porch, a yard, and an efficient well designed interior. Ocean Grove is an quaint, Victorian style beach town my family has been going to for years. We enjoyed being able to take a nice walk or short drive to the beach. You are close to Asbury Park with some good eats and hangout spots. The host has great communication and has a very kind checkout policy. We just had to turn off the lights, adjust the temp, toss the towels in the wash, and could hit the road. Highly reccomend for a small family trip or relaxing getaway.

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.
