Summary: The Overlook Cottage was an AMAZING vacation stay, with stunning views from both decks - which TRULY ROCKED because when the sun was beating down on one, i went to the other which was in the shade, and vice versa!!! Gary was extremely kind and communicative! Neighbors who live around the compound permanently were SO WONDERFUL ‼‼ I could live there permanently with these people who were TRUE Jersey Shore gems‼‼‼i have ALWAYS LOVED the Highlands, and being RIGHT ON THE WATER in this family owned property was such a blessing! Clean, well cared for, cozy, EVERYTHING provided for you that you could need to check in (kitchen products, toilet paper, clean comfy bedding and towels, and SO much more….etc)…WALKING DISTANCE TO SO MUCH FUN …. Including Sandy Hook beach days (a FREE PASS is included in the rental for as many folks as you can fit in your car - what a perk‼‼‼)….as well as all kinds of bars and restaurants right there ‼‼‼ I tried to rebook for next year, but Gary has very loyal regular renters…which is completely understandable….i was lucky to get ONE YEAR‼‼‼ So if you get the chance to rent, DO IT‼‼‼ You will NOT be sorry
