Great family fun

The accommodations were superpb and as promised! The hot tub was especially welcoming, and enjoyable for all ages. The location close to the beach was what drew us to this house.

Great place for family get together

The location is great. The walk to the beach is a little longer than I thought it would be, but our 5 year old was able to handle it. The common area had enough sitting space for all 7 of us and the bedrooms and bathrooms were comfortable and convenient. There were lots of books and puzzles for the kids. The host responded immediately and helpfully to any problems or questions.

The house was very nice and comfortable. It had everything we needed. A fort and swing for my grandson. Beautiful backyard. It was close to the beach, grocery stores and quant places to eat nearby. Minutes away from boardwalk by car. It actually looked nicer in person than online, usually that just the opposite. Pop pool

Great location but house needs updating

Location is great - so close to the ocean. The house has a nice outside area. But the interior needs some attention, seriously. The knives were so dull they were scary to use. The couch has a huge unappealing stain on it. Furniture, decor, appliances, etc., all just felt very old and in need to replacement.
