We had a wonderful stay here with family. It was close to a lot of great restaurants, the ocean and the boardwalk. The home was very clean - always a "must have" for me. The beds were comfortable and the house was stocked with everything we needed. The check in was easy and the communication with the hosts was exceptional. I would highly recommend this property.

Great place to stay. Bright, clean, and pleasant. Nice beds, plush towels, and great location. We rode bikes, so having a garage was great. Ping pong table was fun. It’s on a busy corner, but the road noise at night did not keep us up. Would highly recommended. Slept our family of 5 very comfortably. Great responsiveness from host.
