We had our two sons and their families join us for a family reunion. There were ten of us from 65 to 6 and we never felt cramped or on top of each other. Great location! Twenty more family members were down the boardwalk so it was perfect. Walking distance to restaurants, shops and Fun Zone. The house was big enough and clean and well equipped. All of the TVs and appliances worked, even the fireplace. Mattresses not very comfortable but that is to be expected. I loved this beach house!

We came into town for a memorial. The management company from day one were amazing. We had one tiny issue and although I said it wasn’t urgent they were there within a few hours to fix it. The location was perfect and the accommodations were great. There was enough of everything for our stay. We so appreciate how amazing they were. They were five star all across the board!!

Great Family Vacation spot

Our family of 9 rented this for a week and we enjoyed every minute! The house had plenty of beds and space for our large family. We loved having a washer and dryer in the unit and AC. Both unique to other vacation rentals we've had in the past in the area. They provided plenty of towels, beach towels, hand soap and toilet paper. Some things to note: the silverware is limited (literally 10 forks). The kitchen is well supplied to cook most meals. There is PLENTY of salt and pepper in the unit, but no other spices. As I noted above, they provide hand towels and bath towels, but no wash cloths. The parking situation is tight. We struggled parking our 2021 Ford Explorer in the tandem space. We made it work, but it takes patience and time. Overall, we loved this place and we would rent it again in a heartbeat!

Great location. Very family friendly. We liked this place but would recommend if you bring babies under 2.. bring a baby gate for the stairs. Property management company was great. We only had one slight issue and it was handled within a few hours. Only one down side… NO full length mirrors in the entire house! Very strange! Other than that we enjoyed our vacay:-)
