Size of property vs what we paid per day

Location is what you pay for. Place needs alot of work. Very small. Its fine for a visit for 1 person. Not very clean, floors slant down. Nice town but you pay for the view on the water. 366 square ft is too small when you are staying there with your husband and pup.

Great little cottage

The cottage is very convenient to Sandy Hook beaches and Long Branch. It was walkable to really good restaurants/bars. Neighborhood was quiet but you need to be prepared for the bridge noise (not completely unexpected due to the proximity). The cottage could use a little TLC (fresh paint inside, new shower curtain and a couple of window blinds replaced) but all-in-all a great little place.
