Kitchen pots & pans were dirty and greasy. Also serving dishes and plates, etc. not clean. Needed to wash some things before using. Carpet on stairs was sandy.

What a beautiful home! Plenty of space for me, my husband, our kids and their kids -4 bedrooms and baths plus the outside shower, along with lots of deck options and TVs equaled tons of options for everyone. Proximity of home to the beach was convenient, lots of restaurant options within easy walking distance, and central location on island meant no town was too far. Well appointed and clean. The owner’s pride is evident throughout.

We very much enjoyed this property. High quality furniture, beautiful decks, probably the best supplied kitchen i have ever experienced in a rental. Was very convenient with plenty of parking. Only nitpick would be that it was end of the season and there were a few minor issues caused by previous guests that Paul was aware of and was taking care of as soon as the season was over. Paul was very responsive via phone and email and very good to deal with.

THE GOOD-The location is close to the bridge, beach, and the layout of the house with the multiple decks made the stay comfortable with 8 plus one infant. THE BAD and THE UGLY-My wife and I arrived at 2PM 30 minutes prior to checkin to find the house locked and the cleaning service gone. As we went up the steps we could see sand from the previous guests. The room with 2 queen beds had a ceiling fan missing a blade and when it was turned on looked like it was going to fall on the floor.One of the beds was broken and unuseable. All the beds looked like they weren't made as the quilts were haphazardly tossed on the beds.This gave us a feeling that the home was quickly cleaned. We also noted that 2 additional fans were not working. There was a DISGUSTING shag rug on the upper level living room floor. So we contacted Paul who had the cleaning service return. They called him to confirm our concerns. Since we were going to place our linens on the bed there was nothing they needed to do and we suggested they go home to their children. Later in the day as my children arrived from NY and Delaware we began to find additional cleaning problems with the house. An empty water bottle behind the night table in one of the queen bedrooms, a box with several water bottles in the pantry, and bottles cans and wrappers on the deck off the kitchen stuffed into the corner. Our grandson who is 16 mos old found dirt and toys under the couches, and our granddaughter had an allergy attack which we suspect was from the shag carpet. When we went to bath the kids we found mold in the bath tub near the washing machine some of which my wife cleaned. The kids were bathed upstairs in the master BR.Paul said he would be down on Monday to replace the fans but was caught in the rain storm and went back home. We never heard from him again regarding the issue. Paul did order a new rug which came on Thursday afternoon at 2 PM and my son and son-in law moved the couched to lay it on the floor.There are beautiful wood floors so it was surprising that there were rugs to begin with. Yes the house has AC however we are all accustomed to sleeping with ceiling fans.Yes the house has lots of potential and we understand it is a rental property but it is the owners responsibility to make sure it is in good condition when you are paying close to 6K for the week. This is the first time we had the whole family together for a week and we made the best of it under the circumstances. Not returning!!

Feels like home! This house has everything you need to have a lovely vacation. We looked forward to coming every year. Even though we bought our own home in LBI we still miss it.

We have rented this home a few times now. It's perfect and exactly what we are looking for. Close to the beach, large home for guests to visit and a fully loaded kitchen where we prepare large meals. When there have been disconnects, Paul is very responsive to resolve the issue. Last year he had a brand new Weber grill delivered the next day fully assembled and ready to use.
