Fantastic host and pleasant stay

Capt Ron was an excellent host. Very friendly, always willing to answer any questions, and has a beautiful place to vacation. Parking is a little tight in the neighborhood, but not terrible. Walking distance to plenty of local restaurants and bars. Nice little beach with plenty of amenities, very well done and tasteful. If planning on using the trundle bed in the second bedroom, it is a very tight fit and you can’t really move around when it is pulled out. Overall, highly recommended and would definitely stay here again!

Great to be back and will return again! ❤

This was my second time at this location and my family and I had a wonderful time. As usual, check-in was super easy and the unit was immaculate and filled with comfy, cozy furniture. Well appointed kitchen with all the gadgets you need to prepare meals. Backyard beach sits right on the bay and was again a huge hit. So nice to wake up and see the water while making your coffee and breakfast. The property owner is incredibly friendly and has been warm and welcoming both times I've visited. He is super helpful and realy goes out of his way to make sure everything is just right. You can walk to local shops and restaurants. Very close to sandy hook beach...just a short car ride or bike ride away in this quaint little beach town. Will definitely return again next year!

The apartment is well located and very nicely accommodated. The beds and bedding are very comfortable. Three of the four bedrooms do now contain new portable air-conditioning units. There is no air-conditioning in the 3rd bedroom, kitchen/living area, or bath. The first week of Julne had hot days and the temperature never fell below 80 degrees in most areas. There are 4 fans which made it manageable- ish. The host stated that they would continue to improve the insufficient air. Our family spent quite a bit of money to have a place together. We stayed out most days, as the temps were similar inside and out. Less than a block into Central Park and 3 blocks from the subway. The building also has an elevator.
