Brigantine, New Jersey
Beautiful Ocean views and breezes from the 3 decks of this large 3 story home. Walk to the beach. Beautifully furnished. Newer construction. You will never want to leave!! Outside shower, garage!
Nice location, 2 blk to beach but the dunes and beach itself are very deep. We clocked 1/3 mile to waters edge. 1 block to ice cream, deli, & taco place. 6 bdrms; 2 on ground fl. (bunk bed & queen) but No Bathroom!! Must walk up 16 steps to 2nd fl; hall bath, 1 dble bed, 1 qn, & 1 qn ensuite bath. This flr. also has a W/D, den with dusty pull out couch, wine bar, and broken children's table, plus covered porch with 3 rusted chairs. Up 16 steps to 3rd. fl. lvg rm, dining rm, gourmet kitchen, big deck; rusted table &chairs set +2 extra chairs. Plus the 6th bdrm (queen ensuite) and a 1/2 bath. Beautiful kitchen lacking dishware, coffee mugs, & silverware, decent coffee pot. Has Keurig, went to DD for java. Plenty of beer and wine glasses. No kids dinnerware. Garage was great but all beach gear covered in sand and rust. The outdoor shower has opened trellis as screen, could only be used for rinsing off sand. This beautiful house could be luxurious but it is looking tired. Needs TLC. Decor is lovely but no one is managing the upkeep; Overhead lights out, closets full of dirty sheets, old uncomfortable furniture. Reminds me of a Party or Frat house. Lots of refrigerators! Not some place we would ever return. NO BEACH PASSES PROVIDED, INCONVENIENT!! We rented linens. Host lacks communication.
The house was overall clean and in a good location however the house setup was not the best. Bedrooms on garage level had no closets and no bathroom on same floor. Common area (kitchen and living room) on top floor not practical. Peek a boo view of ocean did not compensate for having to climb 4 flights of stairs to get to kitchen.Grill was not usable, no cable and only 2 of 4 TV's could even be used with firestick.No linens provided which was inconvenient with 7 beds, no beach passes provided as most rentals provide and landscaping not maintained. We had a good vacation with access to beach but this rental is not practical for my family group (seniors and toddlers).
Our family had a great week at this beach house. The house was very clean upon arrival. Our family was comfortable and there was plenty of room for every one (7 adults and 4 kids). Getting into the house was easy and the location is great. The beach is a 5 minute walk. The garage is equipped with tons of beach chairs, umbrellas, a bike, beach toys and boggie boards( this wasn't on the listing for the house). A few suggestions: - The house doesn't include beach tags. It would have been nice not to have get them upon arrival. - The outdoor shower has NO privacy. Other than those two suggestions, everything was great.
