Summer House - Highlands, New Jersey

Russ M.

Summer House is like being at home. We've stayed here several times. For the first time we used the kitchen in the main house to cook a couple of meals - everything we needed was right there.
Tom and Sarah were right there to help out with questions or to find us a couple of things we needed. Clean, bright, casual in a great location.❤️

Love this place! 4th stay, this is first time with pup in tow, working out great! Staff (Sara) is terrific, accommodations are super comfortable, conveniences in rooms and main house are perfect. Can't beat the location. Unload at the door, maybe walk a short block coming back after dark. It's Highlands! Going out to start a fire now in the Pit!

Wife and I stayed for our anniversary weekend. We stayed in Cabin D. Cabin was comfortable. It's not large, not small. It was very clean and well equipped. Parking kind if sucks as people will park in the area to walk to the nearby restaurants, but at night it's much easier to manage. Area is very quiet. At nightnwe didn't hear anything outside of the ocassional car driving by. The common area in the back is very comfortable and felt unique.

Highly recommend to seat here. We will he back.

This location in the Highlands and these cottages were just perfect for a few days at the beach. The purveyor is a wonderful gentleman that is incredibly helpful and helped us secure chairs and umbrellas to take to the beach for a nominal cost. It is worth noting that while rooms are a little small, they have everything you need, including a nice bathroom and a sink with a microwave and coffee maker as well as a small refrigerator. What stands out for these cottages is the amenities outside the rooms. There is a beautiful area where you can grill or enjoy sitting by a fire pit, as well as a common area that includes a large full kitchen, laundry services, and a place to sit down and relax outside of your cottage.
We will definitely be back. Thank you John!!

My new husband and I are constantly on the run, often with little time to relax. He told me about this collection of cottages and I took interest in the idea. I have to say, Summer House is a fantastic find! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Super cute, comfortable, clean and close to many activities and restaurants/bars. The beaches are a quick drive or bike ride. The beautiful common open space surrounded by the cottages is a plus. Great fire pit. And did I tell you how much I love the outdoor shower? ❤️ In general, we plan on coming back again. Also seems like a nice place for a group of friends, couples, family members to stay with. I think there are 7 cottages. We might give that a go.

Writing this with more practical info about the diff cottages as hard to find that info online. By far the best located & reasonably priced lodging in Highlands area! My partner and I came on the NYC ferry - if you have a car that's best but Kranky’s bikes saved us! We stayed in corner cabin F - from their website map it seemed north facing towards the beach (but no, no views of any water) and was on the bigger side with a big porch and more privacy. It did have all those things but if we go back we might choose G (or H if bringing a dog) as these seem to be same size but the porches face the courtyard -- which was a nicer view than just our partial streetview. But with F we could park our bikes on Center Ave if we had to quickly access our room which was nice. Cottages A-E looked a bit smaller but they do have outdoor showers if you go the beach, etc. Between C&D seemed to be a nice separate sitting area too. Cottages A-C also have porches that face the street. Cottages I-J porches only face the street. |Cottage F was tidy with everything you needed in a compact, pleasant presentation. The lady maintaining the rooms was very nice - blonde, her name escapes me- & also gave us some tips. We even bought treats for the sweet, resident cat (a neighbor’s cat but loves to hang at Summerhouse) Easy walking to delicious restaurants, Ice cream plc literally next door. |We were there a little after peak season so you need to doublecheck that places are open. |Overall, we loved our stay!

Second time that we stayed in cottage B. The outdoor shower is great. The location is perfect. Easy walking to restaurants, coffee shop and mini mart. Nice biking with easy access to Sandy Hook bike path. Overall it's a great place. Tom is very helpful and accommodating. We will definitely return. Dave and Carolyn from NY

Our trip was WONDERFUL! These quaint cottages were perfect for our “girl’s trip.” Clean living spaces, bedrooms, and bathrooms, and the kitchen had all the appliances and dishware we needed. The location was perfect: less than a 5 min. walk to a smaller beach, or a very short drive to the ocean. Plus, there were a lot of shops and stores all around. The courtyard was beautiful, and we spent most of our dinners out there, or around the campfire. Our hosts Lynn and Tom were so friendly and welcoming. Whenever we needed anything, both of them were more than accommodating! This was the perfect place to stay for our start of summer trip!
