All in all it was a very nice stay Place was very clean and comfortable. The only thing we had problems with is we couldn't get the door to lock from the outside. Left a message with the owner but never heard back from him. We just didn't want any of his things to get stolen. It was a perfect location too. The train didn't even bother us.
We enjoyed our stay completely even the rainy days. The place was well furnished and kitchen well equipped. We used the grill several times and relaxed on the patio. Would definitely go back. Short walk to the beach.
Clean and professional no hassle great location for the beach.
I knew going in this was going to be a basement, it wasn’t bad for what it is but whoever cleans this place or “tries” to clean it needs to go back to step one. The floor was filthy, upon arrival I let my son crawl, after being on the floor for less than 3min his knees were black, and mouse feces in the corners. The area was nice and decent location, but the cleanliness of this place just isn’t up to par. Would not recommend.
To start, we were moved to a different unit the morning of our scheduled booking. It was essentially an upgrade but the cleanliness of this unit was horrific. The apartment smelled like pee. To the point where we needed to use room spray quite often. To second that, we received bed bugs. There were so many ants crawling around on the carpet and furniture to the point when I woke up my second morning, there were ants crawling around in the bed with me. I really hate to leave a bad review but our experience was nonetheless dirty and rather unsanitary.
Would recommend it!
I didn't know this was a basement unit, however it really was fine. I loved the train going by it was so nostalgic. The location is great able to walk to everything. I enjoyed OOB, the weather was not good, but no one can control that.
First let me start by saying that the communication with the property owner was not the greatest. There was no instructions on how to get into the property since it was a key code entrance, no specifications on which door to use, and I had to attempt to contact property owner numerous times to obtain the code. The listing itself was in a basement (not a big deal but it would be nice e to know that ahead of time) and smelled very musty upon entrance. There was dust everywhere and the floors did not seem clean. There was a bunk bed that was extremely wobbly and seemed like it would fall apart if someone was to sleep on it, we had to put the mattresses on the floor for safety. The listing did not specify what was provided with the rental (I.e sheets, towels, cookware, etc.). Sheets and towels did not feel very clean, there was hair in the pillowcases and stains on towels. The location had good parking and easy beach access.
I picked this property based on the pictures of the living room furniture and the proximity of the beach and pier. The furniture was new and comfortable. The owner was the contact and he was available for any questions by call/text. Off-street parking is a big plus. The place was extremely clean. Grocery store was close, while considered off season there were open restaurants and businesses.
The best thing about this rental is location- it is steps to the beach and at the same time away from the noise. The apartment itself was pretty dusty- cleaners don’t seem to care enough. Fridge was dirty inside and so was the the dish rack- just nasty. Otherwise space was enough for 4 people, 2 adults and 2 small kids who slept on a bunk bed. I have no plans to return to this same apartment.
