Summary: If you enjoy all the nuances of staying in a historic home, this is the place to be. The woodwork, ceilings and stairs are beautifully restored. The new front door and windows fit perfectly. It’s sweetly decorated. Bathroom downstairs has all you need and the kitchen is inviting to hang out and cook. Queen bedroom is cozy and bright, the second bedroom has a trundle bed suitable for small children. The location is on a sometimes busy street weekdays but so close to the Toms River with its boardwalk and gazebo, fun watching all that crabbing, Bay and the beaches. Beth and Brian are super friendly and responsive. Front porch great for coffee, side yard with table and chairs. Nice gas BBQ. All you need!

Summary: This is a lovely house situated in a lovely area and only a couple of minute's walk to the lake, a nice quiet area. The house has everything you need, the bathroom is downstairs but wasn't a problem for us, overall I would highly recommend this property.

Summary: Our family stayed for 4 nights in August 2018 - visiting family nearby. Our children (9, 11) felt immediately comfortable in this beautiful home. They literally had everything you could possibly need during your stay. Never did I think "I wish they had ....". Cannot recommend enough - we will definitely be back. 10 stars if possible!!

Summary: This cottage is amazing and the owners just the same. My sister and I chose this cottage for a stay near Tom's River due to a death in the family. From the moment we walked in and smelled the soothing scent of natural wood and the cozy layout of the cottage we knew we would be nothing short of comfortable as if it were our home. When we stepped into the kitchen and saw the bottle of wine and chocolates, well what can I say!!! How did they know us so well? The sign hanging in the kitchen, "Adventure awaits" spoke volumes of the journey we would be begin as we unraveled the life of our estranged uncle and prepared to lay him to rest. Each day was very challenging for us to say the least, but we had the comfort of the cottage at the end of each day to save our sanity and cloak us in warmth as we sat by the fireplace and contemplated our journey through the experience. This place has everything you need, including attentive owners nearby who graciously showed us how to use the fireplace and accommodated our request for an extension of our stay.The beds are super comfortable and the entire home immaculate. If we are ever in that area again, I wouldn't consider any place other then the little red cottage in Island Heights! Barbara and Cara
