Other than refrigerator trash left in the kitchen the house was very clean and lovely decorated. The location was great for our family and my grandkids loved the beach. We did have some terrible rainy weather and the kids couldn’t get to the playroom without going outside. The only thing I would suggest for the future is to use a linen service. Every home we have rented at the shore has had a linen service that was part of the fees. At the end of the stay we stripped the beds and gathered the towels and placed them in a laundry bag. With a house full, it took us a couple of hours to launder and dry all the sheets and towels. If we were able to stay through to Sunday, it would have been hard to get everything done by 11:00.

Amazing views and perfect host

Beautiful home and well kept property and very responsive owners

Spotless and exactly as pictured!The owners were very communicative, and solved one small issue we had as quickly as humanly possible. The house really is beautiful and the pictures are accurate. Most important, it was CLEAN! I would have eaten off the floors on arrival!Those are the most important things to me: accuracy of the listing, cleanliness and helpful owners! I will say that the kitchen is beautiful but sparingly stocked—so if you love to cook, you will need to plan around limited cookware. (No whisk, no pan to make a lasagne or brownies in, very small colander, no serving platters, only 6 cereal/soup bowls—that kind of thing.) The espresso maker and milk warmer/foamer were very nice to have, but if you need regular coffee you should pack your coffee maker.All that said, the location was great and we were 6 adults and we had 2 bad weather days and had plenty of room—never felt crowded. The roof deck is lovely especially at sunset and the views of the bay were great. It’s a straight walk to the beach and Brian and Missy have everything you need for a great day at the beach—wagon, umbrella, boogie board, chairs and loungers as well as a cooler to bring lunch and drinks with you. Seaside Heights is walkable (or a 2 min drive!) and so you have the fun of the boardwalk and the quiet of Ortley in one spot. We really had such a great week!
