Great for older family members - so accessible! Very clean - I dropped something under the dresser and there was no dust even under that! Lovely neighborhood.

The cottage was wonderful. Everything was clean and comfortable. The bedrooms and bathrooms were well sized, it was great to have ensuite bathrooms for each bedroom. We loved sitting out on the cozy front porch with the beautiful landscaping surrounding us. We walked down to the beach several times, it is quite close with a little pond just a block over to walk around as well. Amy was very accomodating and quick to respond. We would love to stay here again.

Property was as advertised. Ample space and clean. Amy was communicative and helpful. The space was private, short walk from beach and town. The house offered privacy, and Greta for families.

My family and I (parents, sister, and myself) had the most wonderful visit at this property. Two rooms and the main living area (including the entrance and bathrooms) are fully handicap accessible which was vital to this trip. Amy was wonderful! She communicated clearly everything we needed to know and added so many personal, wonderful touches to the property. From welcome coffee to extra pillows and blankets, the property left nothing to be desired. Every person on this trip commented on the beauty of the property. It is centrally located to all the restaurants and the boardwalk. The gardens are breathtaking, the kitchen amenities are complete (we were able to prepare a nice meal together in the space with no issues. Pots, pans, utensils are all provided). The showers are accessible and beautifully designed. Every space in the cottage was pristine, clean, and comfortable. The owners have really nice taste and the finishes are high end. We felt spoiled and pampered and cannot wait to return for our next visit to Belmar. Highly recommend, will come again, we honestly cannot say enough good things about the whole experience. Thank you Amy for sharing your fantastic home with us!

Nice little cottage with 3 bedrooms all with their own full baths. Fully -stocked kitchen with all you need. Tight fit for a family of 6 adults but perfect for a family of 4. Beds are very comfortable. Close to great restaurants. A bit confusing on how the cottage was down the long driveway in the back yard of the main house. Both with the same house number. Beautiful neighborhood and we went In Jan so there was on street parking. Owner lives in the front house and messaged me 1sr thing in the morning to remind me to turn off the porch light before I was out of bed even. She left a detailed “to do” list so I knew to turn off the light. Didn’t appreciate being watched and bothered with her direction to follow her instructions. Property was very clean and well maintained

We were 3 couples in Belmar NJ for a wedding in nearby Long Branch. The house was just as described with Amy being readily available to us both before and during our stay. The 3 BR 3 Bath house was perfect for us. It is well kept and well stocked. The 10 am checkout time is a bit early especially on a rainy Monday in September but again Amy was understanding and allowed us another hour. It was a very pleasant stay indeed.

We stayed at this property over Easter weekend 2024. The rental was very clean and in a beautiful neighborhood, within walking distance to the beach which had a well maintained boardwalk which made for easy walking. Short drive to numerous restaurants in Belmar and Asbury Park. Very nice and spacious private bathrooms with walk in showers adjacent to each of the 3 bedrooms. Nicely handicap accessible. Slight issue with the listing indicating a hot tub as an amenity but this was admirably quickly corrected on the listing. Wouldn’t hesitate to rent here again.

Our stay at this house was most enjoyable. It is conveniently located a half mile from Belmar Beach & Boardwalk and a half mile from the quaint town with a selection of stores and restaurants. This cozy cottage is set back from the street, located at the end of a beautifully paved driveway, providing the sense of a serene hideaway. The front porch is nestled amongst a landscaped garden of greenery & flowers and is ideal for morning coffee and evening cocktails. The home is well kept, clean and very comfortable, with a central common area, surrounded by inviting, comfortable bedrooms, each with a bathroom. The kitchen is well equipped, and we easily prepared meals, utilizing the toaster oven, stove and the grill, located beside the house. Amy the homeowner was pleasant and responsive. Even staying in July, we had no issue with street parking for two cars. We highly recommend this property and look forward to renting again in the future. Thank you.

Beware of this property. When looking for a place, I found this one and accidentally hit the BOOK button before I could confirm the dates with my friends. I was told I would immediately lose half my money if I tried to change the booking. That was more than $900. I asked the owner for a few minutes to make my arrangements and she said no. VRBO also asked her and she refused again to give me a few minutes. So we went through with the rental rather than lose our money. Host was rude when we accidentally knocked on her door, confused about the property, house had little sunlight due to lack of windows and one table reading lamp was provided for the entire space. Never again.

Two rooms and the main living area (including the entrance and bathrooms) are fully handicap accessible which was vital to this trip. Amy was wonderful! She communicated clearly everything we needed to know and added so many personal, wonderful touches to the property. From welcome coffee to extra pillows and blankets, the property left nothing to be desired. Every person on this trip commented on the beauty of the property. It is centrally located to all the restaurants and the boardwalk. The gardens are breathtaking, the kitchen amenities are complete (we were able to prepare a nice meal together in the space with no issues. Pots, pans, utensils are all provided). The showers are accessible and beautifully designed. Every space in the cottage was pristine, clean, and comfortable. The owners have really nice taste and the finishes are high end. We felt spoiled and pampered and cannot wait to return for our next visit to Belmar. Highly recommend, will come again, we honestly cannot say enough good things about the whole experience. Thank you Amy for sharing your fantastic home with us!

Nice little cottage with 3 bedrooms all with their own full baths. Fully -stocked kitchen with all you need. Tight fit for a family of 6 adults but perfect for a family of 4. Beds are very comfortable. Close to great restaurants. A bit confusing on how the cottage was down the long driveway in the back yard of the main house. Both with the same house number. Beautiful neighborhood and we went In Jan so there was on street parking. Owner lives in the front house and messaged me 1sr thing in the morning to remind me to turn off the porch light before I was out of bed even. She left a detailed “to do” list so I knew to turn off the light. Didn’t appreciate being watched and bothered with her direction to follow her instructions. Property was very clean and well maintained

We were 3 couples in Belmar NJ for a wedding in nearby Long Branch. The house was just as described with Amy being readily available to us both before and during our stay. The 3 BR 3 Bath house was perfect for us. It is well kept and well stocked. The 10 am checkout time is a bit early especially on a rainy Monday in September but again Amy was understanding and allowed us another hour. It was a very pleasant stay indeed.

This was the perfect property for our family. 3 married couples and two small dogs. We were in town for a wedding, got to walk to the beach daily, the neighborhood was very clean and safe. We would highly recommend this home and would definitely return another time.

The cottage was wonderful. Everything was clean and comfortable. The bedrooms and bathrooms were well sized, it was great to have ensuite bathrooms for each bedroom. We loved sitting out on the cozy front porch with the beautiful landscaping surrounding us. We walked down to the beach several times, it is quite close with a little pond just a block over to walk around as well. Amy was very accomodating and quick to respond. We would love to stay here again.

We stayed at this property over Easter weekend 2024. The rental was very clean and in a beautiful neighborhood, within walking distance to the beach which had a well maintained boardwalk which made for easy walking. Short drive to numerous restaurants in Belmar and Asbury Park. Very nice and spacious private bathrooms with walk in showers adjacent to each of the 3 bedrooms. Nicely handicap accessible. Slight issue with the listing indicating a hot tub as an amenity but this was admirably quickly corrected on the listing. Wouldn’t hesitate to rent here again.

Our stay at this house was most enjoyable. It is conveniently located a half mile from Belmar Beach & Boardwalk and a half mile from the quaint town with a selection of stores and restaurants. This cozy cottage is set back from the street, located at the end of a beautifully paved driveway, providing the sense of a serene hideaway. The front porch is nestled amongst a landscaped garden of greenery & flowers and is ideal for morning coffee and evening cocktails. The home is well kept, clean and very comfortable, with a central common area, surrounded by inviting, comfortable bedrooms, each with a bathroom. The kitchen is well equipped, and we easily prepared meals, utilizing the toaster oven, stove and the grill, located beside the house. Amy the homeowner was pleasant and responsive. Even staying in July, we had no issue with street parking for two cars. We highly recommend this property and look forward to renting again in the future. Thank you.
