The condo was comfortable and we had a good experience, We would have liked to know ahead of time the condo was on the third floor. We managed quite well, but it was still a surprise.

Loved the layout of the apartment. Really nice kitchen and lighting features. A/C units in each room. Unfortunately, the ice cream store was closed but all other restaurants, bakeries, etc. were open. Didn't realize it was a 3-story walk-up, which isn't a problem for younger people, not good for some elderly.

Our other rental fell through and we went on a last minute hunt for a new spot. We normally would have chosen a quieter rental but decided to go for it and see what life is like on top of an ice cream store. We really had no issues with the store below. They play music but you can’t hear it upstairs. My kids loved going down in their pajamas and keeping an eye on the line and getting ice cream every night. My only complaint would be when the store closes from 10-10:20 the kids pumped their music loud to clean up- but it was just 20 minutes and then they all left for the night. All the descriptions are accurate of the home. The two bedrooms are on opposite sides of the kitchen so you do feel like you have your own space if you are traveling with another family. The beds were comfortable and there were plenty of pillows. The kitchen and family room were spotless. There was toilet paper, trash bags, cleaning supplies and hand soap. The air conditioning works really well and the washer and drier in the basement are huge and very clean. The road is busy- but we knew that coming in so no surprises. The owner of the home was extremely fast responding to us. We were able to check in early which was great. The location of the house is close to the beach and shops. There is a hose next to the storage unit which we discovered and were happy to use for our feet. Make sure to take a spin on the tandem bike!!! That was our kids absolute highlight! Thanks for a great getaway!!!

It was everything you should expect from a stay. Great communication, fantastic location. Walking distance to beach and kids used bikes to get to fantasy island and bay village.

This apartment is centrally located, clean and works well for a small family or group! We would recommend it.

We enjoyed 3 nights in LBI. Location was great and would stay again. We were 6 adults but there is street noise if you have young children. There were 2 usable bikes which was a +. Bunk beds in one room hard to access. Dave was a great host!

Wonderful time

I hate to leave bad reviews and tried to work this out with the host, but he is not answering me. I stayed here 7/31/23. He was prompt in his replies on the platform which I appreciated and he let us check in early to drop our bags. When we came back, we noticed several safety and cleanliness issues, most notably 1) a towel bar partially missing at my toddler's height that he could have banged into, 2) a sliding door off its hinges, 3) shower head coming off the wall, 4) a comforter with an awful looking stain, 5) wristbands left in the shower. Outside of this, the whole apartment shook constantly from people walking up the steps to the ice cream shop. I didn’t complain about this as it’s out of Dave’s control. I called Dave and he answered right away and offered to come fix things, but I was concerned for my toddler's safety, these were just the things I noticed and I didn't want to risk there being other issues. He agreed on the phone to refund me the remaining nights. However, he later messaged me and said he would only refund some of the remaining dollars. He gave me his word and then changed his mind, and I don't think it's smart to stay at a host's property who doesn't stand by his word. Now he is no longer answering messages. I'm sure he will reply here to say he offered to fix the issues and did so quickly (he did) and that he is technically abiding by VRBO policy (he is), but he reneged on a commitment and I wouldn't trust him with your money or your vacation.
