okay
Staying was okay, I was unaware there was a home behind this home when booked. Check in was great. Sadly our first night there they had maintenance hanging a swing, drilling and opening the front door frequently to plug things in. Our daughter came down with a cold so we had to cut our trip short and while doing a final look through while packing i noticed under the bed a pair of undergarments and shorts that’s did not belong to us. Overall decent stay.

Great getaway in hard times
My dad had passed last month. My mom wasn’t doing too well either. This quick trip was just what we needed. Though it rained, we still had a good time. We ate at great restaurants, saw a movie, went to the aquarium, got a pedicure, and got to sleep in for a change. The place was perfect for us. Just enough room. Very clean. We’ll definitely look into staying here again, in the future.

We'll be returning!
This little house was perfect for a few days with my husband and two teenage daughters. We were expecting ocean front, and now know that ocean side means something different. It's a great location, very close to the beach, but does not have an ocean view. Kitchen is well-stocked and house is clean. Rooms are snug, but very comfortable.

Great little place
This home is a very cute place with a convenient location that is close to the beach and the boardwalk. It was very clean and the kitchen was well stocked. It is a small little place but sufficient for 4 people or less. The owners were very friendly and communicative. I would highly recommend!

Clean property, just right for two adults. There is a house between you and the beach so unfortunately you don’t have an ocean view.

Very relaxing
The only thing I would say is to put a shower or something outside for after the beach so you don't bring the sand into the house. And the only thing I really missed was a washer and dryer
