Summary: When I visited Sandy Hook, NJ many years ago, I dreamt of staying in one of the yellow brick army officers’ homes, and am so glad to have had the chance to. Brian did a wonderful job restoring and outfitting the place, and he was an outstanding host. We went after the summer crowds were gone, and had a great time exploring the empty beaches and abandoned grounds of Fort Hancock. We look forward to returning there soon!

Summary: House had everything you need. Even has games and stuff to keep you occupied on a rainy day. It was clean and in over all good repair. The host is attentive. All in all a good place to stay in a beautiful area.

Summary: Beautiful stay in Sandy Hook park. Loved the easy access to so many wonderful beaches on the bay side and the ocean side, freedom to roam the park on bike whenever and wherever we wanted, great sunsets from the front porch, and the lovely house. Even the 5 teenagers liked it! Thank you so much for letting us stay in your beach house!

Summary: When my wife and I went into the house my wife turned to me and said “ You did good”. That pretty much sums up our stay in the house. It is comfortable, clean, well decorated and in a perfect location for watching the sunset over the bay. There are lots of things to do or it is a perfect place to do nothing at all.

Summary: Fabulous property in a fascinating location: we loved exploring historic Ft. Hancock just outside the door! 15 minute drive to delicious restaurants and Mass at the Catholic Church. A comfortable mattress, lovely towels, and enough hot water for 7 people made our stay very relaxing. You won’t be sorry if you stay here!

Summary: We’ve been visiting Sandy Hook on day trips for years and decided to try a week instead of our usual vacation at LBI. By the time the week was over, everyone agreed this was more relaxing and interesting than our previous vacations. Brian was great with communication and quick to respond to any questions we had. Looking forward to returning. Thanks Brian.

Summary: This is a place like no other. Fort Hancock is super quiet at night and in the early morning and you feel like you are on another planet. Peace, quiet and nature sounds abound. The home has been lovingly restored. It IS an old home, though and has quirks as one would expect. The kitchen is well appointed, grill is well maintained and mattresses and towels are ample and high quality. Only a labor of love could make this space a home and Brian has done it. Happy to have had this adventure trip at his place!

Summary: We absolutely loved staying at this property! It was quiet, an assortment of beaches to try - the ocean for the big waves, the bay side for the littles to play in the sand and water safely. Riding the provided bikes around the National park was so much fun. The house is equipped with everything you need and then some. We are both tea and coffee drinkers, so the electric kettle was such a thoughtful addition. Our family really wanted a quiet relaxing getaway, so the lack of people and traffic was dreamy. All of the beaches we visited were clean and uncrowded. We did stay mostly at the far end of the park, and most of the activity was at the other end. We also cooked all of our meals and the kitchen was well-equipped and the grill worked perfectly. We really have nothing bad to say at all about this property and are planning on renting again next summer!
