Top Sandy Hook Lighthouse Hotel Reviews

Highlands cottage across the street from Proving Ground and Twin Lights Marina

10/10 Excellent

"Gary is a great host. He was very accommodating."

Private Room &Bathroom, Quaint Beach Town, Free local beaches, Ferry to NYC

8/10 Good

"The location was quite perfect (walking distance to several restaurants and a short drive to the bridge to the beaches). The room (and other areas we could use) were immaculately clean and quite attractive, and interesting art was visible. We were also provided with great self-serve breakfast, which most VRBOs don't provide. Note that the room is on the 3rd floor, and they strictly forbid guests (that policy isn't on the VRBO listing)"

WingSong of Highlands near the Bay/ocean/Seastreak Ferry

10/10 Excellent

"Clean and comfortable. Close to lot's of great restaurants and Sandy Hook National seashore and the rest of the Jersey shore."

BEACHFRONT 1BR WATERVIEWS WITH DECK PRIVATE BEACH

8/10 Good

"Private beach was great. Parking was a challenge. I recommend the host leave instructions for the use of the TV, the air conditioner and the stove/oven. When you contact the host if needed, his response is immediate which was appreciated. Overall, we were very satisfied with our stay and would recommend this stay to others."

Coastal Home With 360 Degree Rooftop Deck ~ Outstanding Views!

10/10 Excellent

"This was my first trip to the Highlands. We loved the atmosphere. This house is steps away from night life and walkable to the charming downtown. People were so friendly. The rooftop patio was amazing place to view all the surroundings and relax. It was also minutes away by car to sandy Hook National Park that had lovely sandy beaches and history for the explorers. We will definitely vacation here again."

SPECTACULAR OCEAN VIEW BEACHFRONT RENOVATED 2BR

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent property and Ron was a wonderful host."

Waterfront Escape! NYC Ferry, Beach, Modern New Construction 3 bedroom 3 bath

10/10 Excellent

"We recently stayed at Rachel's house in Highlands for a one month visit in August 2026. The location is excellent, and within walking distance to many great restaurants and shops. The house was extremely clean, and the kitchen very well appointed with all you could need. The bedding and duvets were extremely comfortable as were the pillows! The almost brand new washer and dryer were also a huge benefit during our one month stay. Rachel was extremely responsive for the few minor issues we encountered (that did not negatively impact our stay in any way), most times replying within minutes! Overall we would recommend her house for long or short term rentals in the quaint shore town of Highlands, NJ!"

Group-Friendly Jersey Shore retreat walk beach, restaurants, shop,park NYC ferry

10/10 Excellent

"Great rental in a great location, walking distance to everything in Highlands!"

Little Haven (D)

10/10 Excellent

"The property is exactly how it's described in the listing. Private beach was pretty quiet the duration of our stay - we were the only ones hanging out on the beach most of the time. Host is very prompt with replying to questions /concerns during the reservation process. Only downfall - parking is at a premium. There were 2 nights we came back to the rental close to midnight - the free parking lot was full & we had to drive around a bit to find on street parking. If you're planning on staying local, many places are within walking / biking distance. We would definitely book again."
