Convenient location in a quiet neighborhood. Plenty of room for four people. Beds are comfortable and the picnic supplies were nice to have. Did not take advantage of the beach supplies since we were traveling everyday.

Very close to the beach and boardwalk / center. Very nice home, comfy beds and more than enough supplies - plastic utensils, garbage bags paper plates. We brought our own linens but there were comforters and pillows there. Of note first floor bedroom is the kids bedroom with bunk beds all other bedrooms upstairs. Kids were old enough it didn’t bother us but good to know! Would recommend !

Loved it!

Eric and Jen were super helpful with everything! Very quick and efficient to respond. The only thing is that there was no grill. Super clean, cute, and perfect for a group of 6-8! Highly recommend! And very close to the beach, we walked frequently. Lots of shopping and food options nearby as well.

Number of bunk beds in office was confusing.3 bunks beds to me means room for 6! Actally 1 bunk bed with tiny trundle. 3 teens did not have enough room. Besides that all okay. Would have liked a dish washer. Clean good locale. Okay for price.

VERY NICE HOUSE!

Our family and friend absolutely enjoyed our stay! Not used to a stocked house with everything you need! Close to beach and shops but far enough away to go relax after all the chaos and noise! Never had to reach out to the owners. Everything was perfect and comfortable! They do a wonderful job of providing you with everything! Only downer was tvs is not cable and we are not familiar with surfing through roku. But honestly who cares....we played games so not much TV needed! If your looking for a nice place this is it! I could go on and on! THANK YOU SHOUT OUT TO THE OWNERS!

Great place

The owners are great, the place is new and clean. Very nice home feeling. The only downside was that we were not aware until after booking that we had to bring our own linens. This made travelling a lot harder with 8 people but it wasn’t a deal breaker, we still enjoyed it very much.
