NYC to Zen - Spa Bungalow w/ Hot Tub, Gym - Walk to the Beach + Ferry Access

Welcome to your ultimate coastal escape—just a Seastreak ferry ride away from NYC. This 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom beach bungalow in Highlands, NJ, blends beachy-boho charm with spa-style amenities for the perfect weekend reset.

Spread across two floors, the home features airy, laid-back interiors, a fully equipped kitchen, and cozy, thoughtfully designed bedrooms. Step out onto the deck to grill on the gas BBQ, then wind down with a soak in the outdoor hot tub or gather around the fire pit under the stars. For an added wellness touch, rinse off in the serene outdoor shower or test your limits with a cold plunge bucket (ice available for purchase just down the block!).

Our private garage gym keeps your routine going strong, and when it's time to explore, you'll find coffee shops, restaurants, a dispensary, and a few great local bars all within walking distance. Sandy Hook Beach is right around the corner, Sea Bright is just a quick drive away, and the ferry to NYC is less than a mile from your door.

Whether you're here to relax, recharge, or just get a taste of the Jersey Shore without the crowds—this spot checks every box.

Lovely little spot. As listed, was clean, looked like people hadn’t had shoes on inside we left ours near the door, which made it feel cleaner & comfortable. Kitchen well equipped. Near sea streak to NYC. Great having washer, hardly used dryer would have been less if has access to washing line outside. Nice touch owner leaving a bottle of washing up liquid & large bottles of good shampoo for stay. Owner always on other end of email for any help required. Really nice place Really good holiday.

Charming and Modern

This property is fully renovated, fresh and well-staged. The storage spaces were excellent. The appliances were modern and clean. The host Danielle was always responsive and found solutions to any questions we had. She was kind and trusting. The envirnoment was already known to us, therefore we enjoyed the location very much. Off street parking was also a bonus. We enjoyed this property. Thank you.

I loved everything about this trip. The house was beautiful—boho beachy vibes, super clean, and really unique. It honestly felt like a retreat. The gym was well equipped, which is a plus for me and my active fiancée! Also, the outdoor setup was on point. The outdoor shower at night, under the stars, was unreal. Hot tub sessions in the evening were also a favorite.The location was perfect—tons of spots to eat and drink nearby. Farmacie had amazing pastries. One day we walked over the bridge to a chill, low-key beach, and the next day we drove 8 minutes to Sea Bright. We didn’t even make it to Sandy Hook, but that’s on the list for next time. Definitely coming back.
