Wonderful in all respects for a family/relatives, or group of 7 to 9 people who want the ambiance and quiet of an older extremely well maintained home. Great room arrangements for both privacy and being together. Perfect beach access via large screened porch or the front door. Roomy deck with modern chef’s grill and more tasteful ambiance. Kitchen has everything you need and more. Another bonus, large washer and dryer, perfectly located for frequent use. Entryway to house, both inside and out, spacious and comfortable, so easy to move stuff in and out. Many cars can fit in driveway, making it easy to invite people over. Lovely short walk to boardwalk (fries, concerts and ice cream!) via street or beach. Bring kites!

We very much enjoyed our stay! Great location and perfect access right to a private beach! The home was very clean and just what we needed for a little getaway and to prepare things for a surprise 70th Wedding Anniversary for our parents. Host was extremely friendly and was available for any and all questions. We had a great time and would definitely rent this home again.

Ocean view was spectacular once you climbed to the top of the dunes. We were lucky as the recent stirm did minimal damage the the breakwall. The boardwalk had suffered major damage to the breakwall eroding massive amounts of sand. Other than that weather was great. Perfect autumn weather.

Beautiful location! Thanks for the heads up about the linens prior to arrival, which minimized the aggravation of doing laundry before departure. This should have been included in the listing. A call to the owners concerning 'only hot water' in washing machine irregardless of the setting WAS promptly addressed. However it required TWO service calls on consecutive days to identify the problem. Washing and rinsing in hot setting only was definitely an inconvenience and potentially damaging to some materials, much less an increase in utility costs. The owners were sensitive enough to not push the third service call on our last full day, this happened b/c we missed the plumber's attempt to contact. We happened to be on the beach, which is beautiful! The last significant issue was the overall cleanliness of property. There was sand left on landing and stairs. We realize that this is the beach, but upon arrival? Dusting/vacuum behind furniture (popcorn in the den, throat lozenge lost behind night stand, and a colony of dust bunnies behind the door in upstairs hallway bathroom) was inadequate and superficial. The bathroom mats were dirty and had to be taken up! The lid on kitchen trashcan was dirty with dried debris and stains from whenever. We cleaned it and used the trashcan without lid. We strongly recommend a different cleaning service who pays attention to detail. The ice maker was great! It made more cubes than we could use! The proximity to beach and access to nearby pools was truly the highlight as time spent in the house itself just revealed the neglect this home has suffered. This was especially disappointing since the owners themselves use the property, which should have given them a personal assessment of the conditions. The owners decline any effort to account for/rectify our mixed feelings on this stay.
