Enjoyed the stay, nice quiet neighborhood 5 minutes from the wharf. Many stairs but there is a dumbwaiter. Needs a little polishing but otherwise a gem.

The location was perfect. 2 block walk to the beach, 4 blocks to the boardwalk. Less expensive than hotels. Bathrooms were very clean. Nice view from the balcony. Kitchen amenities worked well and there was plenty of parking. Thank you so much. Would stay here again.

Nicely decorated townhouse centrally located to the boardwalk etc Lots of stairs but manageable. Good sized rooms and full kitchen. Bed in master could be replaced as not so comfortable and needs more blankets. Would stay again.

The house was perfect for a reunion with my bestie! Its location is prime, the patio is magazine worthy, and the home felt so homey!

Way out of date interior needs better cleaning. The place needs a coat of paint. Soap and shampoo is powder in biodegradable containers… it’s horrible. No A/C. Three stories… get ready to climb stairs. Noisy neighbor dog barking at night…. Ya, I recommend it🚫

We had good and bad experiences with this rental. Starting off with the positives, the location of the house is great. It was a short walk to boardwalk and pier. Garage is a plus, with extra parking if you need it. You can see and hear the amusement park from the living room, but it shuts down around 9pm so it’s not too loud. They do provide some beach toys and chairs, no beach towels. Check in isn’t until 4pm (why so late?) and when we arrived close to 4:10, the cleaning company was still in the unit. After driving 3 hours, I just wanted to get settled. The front door code that was emailed to me did not work, so we had to call their support line and have them reset it. If anything happens, do NOT text them. They didn’t answer my text for 10 hours. Just call. The floors were dirty, to the point all our feet were black within 5 minutes of being in the house. Once we got through the rough check-in process, experience wasn’t so bad. House stayed cool during the day and neighborhood was quiet, minus a few fireworks at night. The beds were uncomfortable though. Old, saggy, squeaking box spring mattresses. At 5 months pregnant, it was a rough week for sleeping. This is a 3 story unit, but the stairs weren’t horrible, just a little steep. If you have little ones, I’d suggest bringing 2 baby gates to keep them off the stairs. Also, if there’s more than 2 of you wanting any hot coffee/tea, there’s only 2 mugs in the house. Overall, not a bad stay.

5 minutes from the boardwalk, plenty of towels & cooking supplies. Clean and shinny on arrival. Nice to have a garage to park in.

This is a great place to stay. The location is lovely- set back from boardwalk chaos but close enough to ride your bikes or walk places. Some things to note: the second floor has both bedrooms, and they are to share the bathroom. The second bathroom is on the third floor, where the kitchen, dining room, and living room areas are. The main bedroom has limited lighting as there are no overhead lights. The garage door didn't work, so we had to open it manually. When you do book this place, make sure you go through your vacasa email and get details on your trip so that you can confirm your identity and get all of the check-in instructions. SERIOUSLY IMPORTANT: BRING YOUR OWN LINENS! All the linens, pillowcases, and bedding had stains on them.
