Cheap, cheerful, & great host!
Rob, host extraordinaire of Little Haven Bungalows, went out of his way to make sure our trip went off without a hitch. He was communicative before we arrived and ensured we had everything we needed during our stay. This no frills accommodation was clean, well stocked, and the AC cold! Check-in and out was easy and we encountered no issues. Cute outdoor area BBQ / lounge, access to water toys, and private beach!

Owner as very responsive and friendly, and so was his daughter. Location is nice right by the water. The town is nice. Bakery & coffee shop in walking distance. Dishes dirty, floor dirty. Apartment pretty old (what we knew), but also pretty run down. Kitchen utensils very limited, don’t plan to cook big dinner.

They are working hard to update the property. Great beach view. The homeowners were very accommodating at a rough point in our lives.

A weekend in December
Robert allowed me to check in at 2 instead of 4 which was a big help. I enjoyed the location of the property. The unit was clean. Parking is a bit tight on those streets. Had to walk a few houses down to park in a parking lot. Not a big deal. The fire pit was a nice touch with the views of the city. Robert has probably one of the best views in Atlantic Highlands.

Perfect for a family get-a-way
If you're looking for luxury and fancy, these bungalows are not for you. If you're looking for the perfect location with simple and clean accommodations, then you should check out Little Haven bungalows, B and D. We rented both units for 4 nights to spend family time with our daughter, son-in-law and our 4 grandsons, ages 10, 7, 4 and 1 and we had a wonderful time! You have the beach just outside your door and plenty of sandy play space. Robert is a great host. The kids had a blast!

Beautiful bungalow
Three generations of our family just loved the property. The bungalow was the perfect size, and access to the beach was amazing. The kids loved exploring the water and kayaking. Walking distance to great restaurants was a bonus!

Very Sweet
We had a wonderful time. We mostly hung out in the kitchen which was very smalll but it worked. The apartment had everything we needed and was spic and span. We enjoyed having our own beach The beds were very nicely made up and comfortable. I don’t think the photos capture the true feeling. It’s much nicer. The heat was wicked and an additional AC was installed. The landlord was friendly and very accommodating. My “kids” (late twenties) really enjoyed talking with him. It would have been nice to have a deck but there was plenty of outdoor space. We loved the neighborhood.

Great Location
We truly enjoyed our stay at Little Haven. Rob was a great host and it was helpful to have someone there who knows the area and the history of the area. The private beach was great for breakfast and the 5 minute drive to open water was perfect. Many great restaurants and other small towns within driving distance. Parking was easy and the kitchen/bath/beds were all fully stocked. Can’t wait for our next trip!

Misrepresented
The host was very friendly and accommodating but this was not what we expected at all. It is a small home wedged between 4 other buildings. It was not very clean and there was garbage and other random misplaced items in kitchen and bedroom drawers. There was also no living space, just a TV in the small kitchen. The furniture was old and worn and overall it had a very strange feel to it. The pet cemetery out back was also a nice touch. Again though, the host was very nice, even refunded us 100% when we decided to go elsewhere, so I was very thankful for him being so kind and understanding.

Loved our stay! Sweet location by beach, walking distance to delicious food. Super friendly neighborhood. Kids and dog loved it! WiFi was excellent - kept 3 kids remote schooling and 2 adults remote working with ease. Rob was super responsive to questions and very welcoming. Hope to stay again in wormer weather!
