This recently restored lieutenants quarters on officer's row is set in a beautiful and tranquil setting with lots of charm and character. The home is actually a duplex and built in 1939 renovated 2016.

Down stairs is a living room, dining room (seats 8-10), new kitchen, small bunk bed room, and a comfortable side porch with bay breezes. Upstairs there are three bedrooms (2 Queen size one with one with two singles) and two bathrooms (master bathroom is ensuite). Also a pull out coach in the living room.

This is the first season offering this home for rent (sorry it is not ADA compliant, due to its age). It is a supporting structure in a Historic District, and the country's oldest light house is in your back yard. ( 1764 ) This is probably the most serene location on the Jersey shore with the ability to have the NY SeaStreak Ferry drop you feet from the front door (40 minute ride to Manhattan).

Sandy Hook is part of the Gateway National Recreation area and consists of 2,200 acres of beaches, bike paths, bird watching and water sports. Within walking distance of the home there are beaches, bike rental, museums and historic landmarks. Featuring some of the coastal fortifications of WWI and WWII. It's rich history pre-dates the revolutionary war.

Relax on nearby beaches, kayak bayside coves, bird watch, explore the lighthouse, Visitor's Center, Fort Hancock, military ruins, and Officer's Row. Deep sea fishing, surf fishing, sailing, dinner cruise, live theater or a world class concert, an art gallery or an antique center are all extremely close by. The Twin Lights, Hartshorne and Lenape Woods hiking trails, Mount Mitchell scenic overlook, Keansburg Amusement Park, Monmouth Racetrack, PNC Bank Arts Center as well as numerous fine restaurant are all nearby.

Located in Highlands, this vacation home is on the beach. PNC Bank Art Center and First Avenue Playhouse Dessert Theatre are cultural highlights, and some of the area's landmarks include Sandy Hook Lighthouse and Twin Lights State Historic Site. New Jersey Sea Grant Consortium and Yestercades are also worth visiting. Be sure to check out the area's animals with activities such as game walks and birdwatching.
