Entire 2-bedroom house, driveway parking, 15-minute walk to Avenel NYC train

Welcome to this private, single-family home in a convenient area. 875 square feet (81 m2) of space. The house has 2 bedrooms, an open living/dining room, full kitchen, and full bathroom. Free parking in the driveway for one car. The house is a 15-min walk (0.8 miles / 1.3 km) to Avenel Train Station. NYC in 45 minutes. EWR in 25 mins. Philadelphia, Washington, Boston, etc. also accessible via the train system. Shops and restaurants within walking distance. Park w/ tennis courts behind the house.

This is a private, single-family home and it is not shared with anyone. The home is located in a quiet, suburban, and residential neighborhood. It is a safe area and convenient to public transportation, shopping, and restaurants. A convenient feature of this home for guests that may have mobility issues is that there are no steps required to reach the home and everything is on one floor.

You will have access to the entire house except for the rear utility room, which is locked and not accessible to guests. If you want to access the backyard, you will need to walk around from the front of the house. The driveway has space for one vehicle and is free to use.

Avenel Train Station is located just 0.8 miles (1.3 km) from the house. You can walk there on non-busy streets in about 15 minutes. This train line connects you with Newark Airport (EWR), New York City, and beyond. You can also drive quite easily around this neighborhood. There is one parking space in the driveway and any additional vehicles you can park on the streets, usually right in front of the house.

No parties, events, or smoking of any kind are allowed in this house or anywhere on the property -- strictly enforced.

The amenities that are listed at the time you book the unit are the amenities provided. Please review this list of amenities before booking.

Self check-in and check-out are available. There is a lockbox with keys at the entry door to the building. We will send you the code to the lock box on the day of your arrival. The code will not be sent in advance.

The check-in window is 4:00 pm to 11:00 pm. If you are planning to arrive after 11:00 pm, you must clear this with us. We will not be available to support you during check-in if you arrive very late at night (after 11:00 pm) and your check in will be entirely self-service at those hours. We will not give refunds if you have issues checking in after 11:00 pm. There is no luggage storage available at the house.

Please also note that this house is an older house. Some recent guests have arrived with higher expectations than what we can provide given the age of the house. The place looks like the photos in the listing and we keep it clean. It is a basic space with basic amenities. If you are looking for a functional and competitively priced place relatively close to New York City and Newark Airport EWR, this would be a good space for you. If you are looking for a modern and luxury stay, this is probably not the place for you.

A few things to know before you book:

To keep our homes safe and welcoming for everyone, all guests complete a quick verification before arrival — we’ll reach out by email or text with the simple steps once you’ve booked, so please complete it before you travel.

Guests are also asked to either purchase a damage waiver or leave a refundable security deposit, and to sign a short rental agreement. A valid credit or debit card is required; if you’re paying us directly by card, we’ll ask for a photo of the front and back and a signed credit card authorization form, and the name on the reservation, card, and ID should match. Please also have a valid, current government-issued ID ready — if it’s expired we won’t be able to approve the stay, and no refund applies in that case. Additional charges may apply.

Have any questions? Just reach out — we’re always happy to help!

BOOKING REQUIREMENTS: All guests must complete a signed rental agreement, ID verification, security deposit, and credit card authorization prior to check-in.
Guests are responsible for bagging all garbage and placing the bags in the bins outside the building, or at the curb, as instructed by the host (host will communicate with guest regarding this).

If your unit has a thermostat and the thermostat is locked, do not tamper with it or try to break open the lock. Doing so is called vandalism and is highly inappropriate. We will withhold your security deposit if you do this and possible submit for more damages depending on the situation.

Also, guests must leave the apartment in the condition they found it (e.g. no leftover food, nothing that creates a need for excessive or deep cleaning). Please wash all dishes that you use, remove food that you`ve brought in, and discard all trash. Our cleaning fee is lower than most and it covers basic cleaning tasks like washing of linens and towels, vacuuming, etc. The cleaning fee does not cover deep cleaning, excessive kitchen and bathroom cleaning, etc. Thanks for your cooperation!

If you check out late, there will be a $100 per hour fee for each hour or fraction of an hour that you stay beyond the check out time.

If you smoke, use incense, use drugs of any kind (including marijuana and cannabis) anywhere on the property including outside areas and common areas, we will charge a $300 fee. If there are damages related to smoking or drug use, we will charge fees in addition to this $300.
