The house was very clean, quiet neighborhood and 10m walking to beach and boardwalk A plus, residents parking pass in case you don’t want to walk
6 / 10Average·Jun 2021
It's in a quiet neighborhood and you can walk to the beach. The property managers were responsive but the owner needs to invest in a remodel. The table and chairs on the deck were rusty. The internet isn't strong enough to stream anything or have zoom calls. The wood panels make it dark. The outside showers aren't really usable. The showers are very small and the handles are moldy. The ice maker doesn't work. The leather furniture is stained. There are really no overhead lights in the bedrooms. I could go on but if you want a place that is quiet and within walking distance and don't care about other things, it's fine.
