The house is very well appointed and comfortable.The property's has a lot of activities onsite. The only thing I would have liked is the cookware for the well appointed appliances.
The Country Home is located in a quite and private part of the property, which was wonderful. We took advantage of the kayaks and lake everyday. It was a lovely way to unwind and relax. We loved it.
Joy was a great host. She was responsive and addressed our questions quickly.
The perfect place for us to stay in that area. Just off the Garden State Parkway near Stockton University. I lived in nearby Absecon for several years. I traveled around the State visiting old friends while my wife spent leisure time at the casinos. This works perfect for us.
A really nice house outside of Atlantic City we visited to attend several concerts. Ubers we’re easy to get back and forth, and during the days there were nice hikes from the property around a beautiful lake. The house was clean and very comfortable, we’ll definitely go back.
