My family rented this house for 4 adults and 3 small kids. It was a great layout for us and the house was very clean when we arrived! Communication with itrip was very easy and thorough. And the beach access and boardwalk were super close, with a view from the house.
There are just a few things to mention that account for the overall 4 star review. The dishes in the cabinet were not clean when we pulled them out - we had to hand wash everything before using. I am guessing the dishwasher was malfunctioning but can’t say for sure, we didn’t have that issue during our stay. Also, looking back I could have figured this out from the photos, but the house is NOT 5 bedrooms. The fifth bedroom was the open basement and one blind was broken off the door. It wasn’t a quiet or private space, so we didn’t utilize it. Instead we put our baby in the giant closet off the second level master, which is great for babies, but I was expecting an actual 5th bedroom. That could be reworded. We had issues getting the main tv to work but didn’t want to watch it much anyway. I know iTrip would have fixed this, but we didn’t want to bother since it wasn’t a priority for us. Finally, the elevator stopped working after we used it one time. This wouldn’t have been concerning for us, except for the fear of fines. I’ve stayed at many rental houses and never been threatened to be fined so much by the instructions. I understand and respect the intent to keep things in good working order, but as someone with young kids it made me extra neurotic not to let them hurt anything. It’s a house and things happen.
Overall it was a good experience and we enjoyed the house, except for those few things.
