We rented this beautiful house for my annual family reunion for a week. It was perfect in every way! The spacious rooms and bathrooms had lovely balconies, the well appointed kitchen with top notch range, oven, enormous refrigerator with a butler's pantry (which had its own fridge) was stocked with everything we needed, the grill was phenomenal especially when grilling the crabs that were caught in the cages off the dock and the recreational room was a huge hit with the kids. But most of all, the exquisite infinity pool and hot tub with its sensational views was the best part of this house. There is no reason to leave the house, but if you do, the beaches are very close as well as the Pier at Long Branch which has excellent restaurants, spa and shops. Art, the owner, was very attentive to all of our needs. I highly recommend this rental!
