We shared our First Wedding Anniversary with Nick & Eddy at Sandy Hook Cottage. As hosts, Nick & Eddy are unmatched in this business. They are attentive and thoughtful, informative and educational, and most of all--friendly. The rooms at SHC are gorgeously appointed and scrupulously clean. And the Highlands area in general is perfect for the beach goer as well as those of us who enjoy a great meal--lots of great restaurants close by to chose from...overall, an A+++ on all accounts for SHC!

Met Nick, who was very nice about my getting off at the wrong ferry stop and being an hour late for check in. (Sorry!) I had never been to the area before, and he had a wealth of info about beaches, sightseeing, etc. My boyfriend and I brought our bikes and had no problem getting around by bike to all the beaches and historical sites in the area. Had a fun, relaxing, really excellent time! -Rachel

I've never been a great fan of Jersey Shore accommodations - most are in seedy neighborhoods, not well maintained and the only culinary options nearby are fast food joints. Sandy Hook Cottage is the EXCEPTION. This bed & breakfast is close to the beach AND within walking distance to several outstanding restaurants (ask the owners, Nick & Eddy, to recommend their favorite choices). The B & B is charming, well-appointed and they provide an awesome breakfast buffet! (Can you tell that good food matters to me :-) They have bike rentals too so you can work off the huge meal riding to the beach and then kick back for a relaxing soak in the jacuzzi. Sweeeet!! Nick & Eddy are very accommodating and they also respect your privacy (ie, no "hovering"). It's refreshing to stay at place where you are given free reign throughout the home, provided that you respect their house rules. We loved our stay there and you will to!

From the moment you step foot onto the property you feel as if you have come home. The captivating view, abundance of privacy and tranquil atmosphere effortlessly eases you into a well deserved vacation mode. After you are greeted with a glass of wine and and a from the heart welcome, your hosts melt into the background to afford you a level of comfort found only in your own home. This charming B&B exudes warmth and trust. The breakfast room is complimented by a large expanse of windows showcasing your view of beautiful Sandy Hook Bay and the Atlantic. One step and you are on the patio sitting comfortably under an umbrella at your own table for two. Take a few steps along the stone path, open the gate and although the view remains the same, it is enhanced by a weather worn fence and lush foliage. Lounge dreamily in the hot tub and melt away. Although the property entertains 4 guest rooms, each with its own highlights and amenities, privacy is never an issue. Hosts Nick and Eddy are always available whether by phone or in person to assist you. They have an inate ability to know if you simply want to nod you head in passing or share a cup of coffee and shoot the breeze. This B&B is in walking distance to several quite enjoyable restaurants in the quaint seaside town of the Highlands. Sand Hook National recreation area is a stone's throw away and beach passes are provided. I have been fortunate enough to enjoy the Cottage several times and have never been disappointed. As their website notes, come as a guest and leave as family.

This is a great little spot because from the street you do not expect such a quaint spot. The jacuzzi is just heaven. We could have stayed in there all night long. The view was so relaxing and the 2 hosts are considerate and sincere. We will return to our newest getaway in NJ. Thanks

We have been coming to Sandy Hook Cottage for more than 5 years. The house is beautiful, inviting and warm. The hosts are more than hosts--they quickly become friends. The dining in town is great (especially Bay Avenue Trattoria). And the beaches of Sandy Hook are wonderful. The rooms are a bit pricey, but for the service, breakfast and convenience to the beach--it's well worth it.

This was my second stay here. I have a lot of special memories from Sandy Hook while growing up in NJ so I won't stay just anyplace. I prefer to stay at B&B's and have been to many, but I can say this B&B is a one-of-a-kind, beautiful place and the hosts are very generous. I'll certainly come back again.

My daughter and I stayed at this B&B at the very last minute after other accomodations proved to be disastrous. Eddy & Nick made us feel very much at home, and made our stay absolutely delightful! They were very warm and accomodating - just the perfect hosts! We stayed in the cabana, and it was just fantastic! The attention to detail was beyond our expectations. I just can't articulate how wonderful this B&B is! We will definitely be back!

This was our first stay at the Sandy Hook Cottage Bed and Breakfast and we were blown away. Nick and Eddy have poured their hearts into every aspect of this B&B to make it absolutely perfect. Their attention to the smallest detail rivals the finer New York hotels where we usually stay. We did not expect this from a bed and breakfast at the beach. What a delightfully, unexpected find. I am afraid the cat's out of the bag and they will be booked up for a year in advance now - like Nobu. Oh well, that's what you get for doing a great job, Guys. Cheers!

The rooms were warm and inviting, the hosts were wonderful. the food was delicious and the views of the ocean from their outdoor jacuzzi breathtaking. Thank you Nick and Eddy for a rejuvinating escape. We will be back again!

Its the only place we will stay at the Jersey Shore!!! Being a native of NJ and having fond memories of many summers at the shore, this is by far the friendliest, cleanest, most accomodating, best location, best homemade breakfasts and best decor of any B&B we have ever stayed at in any state!!!! Nick and Eddy are truly top notch people.
