    Everything went so smoothly, the house is nicely decorated and well equipped, and is a short two blocks to a good beach. Easy to get to the Boardwalk as well. Loved walking around the neighborhood.

    We rented the house for almost a week and loved it. Everything was easy and the location is so close to the beach, but back from the noisy traffic. Jewlia was a terrific host.
