Great location, great place

The house was clean, had plenty of sleeping spaces, and had beach stuff for us to use. It was walking (or trolley) distance to downtown/the beach and yet far enough away to be quiet and peaceful when you're done there. Our week there was great... we couldn't ask for more!

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.

Convenient House Near Beach

The home was clean and had all the essential supplies (other than linens which we were aware of). Location is conveniently near the beach. Neighborhood is quiet. Great place to stay overall.

Everything was clean and comfortable. We enjoyed smores at the fire pit and barbequed a few nights on the gas grill, both with no issues. Lots of blankets, quilts, and pillows for beds. For families with small children, please note that both bathrooms have standing showers, there's no tub. Loved having beach accessories, including a beach cart, available for us to use. The owners were communicative and very pleasant to talk to.

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 !

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.

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.

Great place to sray

This house was excellent- clean large well stocked!! We enjoyed our stay. Owners were easy to communicate with - answered our questions quickly! Recommend highly. Only thing. We wanted to us the grill but whoever used it before us did not clean after use - if you are renting please be thoughtful of next tenants and clean your mess!!

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.
