Located in Highlands, New Jersey, overlooking the Atlantic at Sandy Hook Bay, “The Cottage” enjoys panoramic views spanning from New York City to the beaches of Long Island. Nestled in the hillside just below the historic Twin Lights Lighthouse, Sandy Hook Cottage is a three bedroom, English-style cottage built as a summer residence in 1933.
