This oak-sheltered home, built circa-1889 with a 1928 wing, is located in the town of Highlands, an area unlike the flat scrubby coast farther south. In fact, the inn’s 230-foot elevation enables guests having breakfast or drinks on the deck to gaze down on the southern end of Sandy Hook, the mouth of New York Harbor, and, on a clear day, the New York skyline.
Ocean views are found in all but one of the bedrooms, of which the loveliest are light and airy Precious Moments, which has a private deck and a soaking tub under a picture window, and the large, plant-filled, beam-ceilinged Garden Room, whose wall of windows yields the same panorama as the deck above.
