"We had a lovely long weekend stay at this property at the end of March 2025. Our room was a very spacious efficiency. The wifi was good. There was plenty of parking available. We enjoyed being able to walk to nearby restaurants or go to the boardwalk. There is laundry available. There is no fitness area. Highly recommend."

"Beautiful house , extremely clean, comfortable and sunny . Everything we needed was there . Walk to shops , woods for easy hiking and the beach . We will definitely be back !"

"This house was comfortable and could easily accommodate a large party (we were only 4), though the living/dining space is very small in comparison to the very large bedrooms. We did not use the kitchen, but it looked nice. The beds were very comfortable, though others would want to bring additional blankets if renting in the winter as we did. The bathroom sinks and showers did not drain properly. The biggest pro for the house is its proximity to the beach—you’re practically in the waves, which is what we were looking for. The beach and ocean views were at the top of our list when we paid top dollar for this house. Unfortunately, the owners have intentionally left a major eyesore out of the promotional photos. A huge power plant dominates the view day and night. It belches smoke or steam into the air 24 hours a day and is lit up like a Christmas tree, shining into the house all night. This was our first trip to this area, and because it was not in the photos, we had no idea it was there. We would not have paid the price we paid for that view. I can’t imagine that other reviewers haven’t mentioned this, unless they are more familiar with the area and used to the oceanfront industries up and down that coastline. We wish the photos would have been more honest."

"Cozy clean and well organized! Great spot and great host! Thank you!"

"The house was very clean and comfortable. We especially loved making a fire in the wood-burning stove every evening."

"great location, super clean, everything worked - so super satisfied. but 2 points the step after entry is not expected and can cause one to trip - and more pots and pans - we cook, otherwise just great, thank you"

"Property owner willingly refunded 100% of our stay. We only spent one night of the eleven that were booked due to our dissatisfaction with the condition of the property. Pictures do not accurately portray this rental, the air conditioning was noisy and inadequate, there is an offensive mildew smell, windows that don’t close and overall not a well kept property. "
