Beach-block and ocean views!

The property was exactly what we were looking for on this trip. Big, spacious house with a dining room table, two TVs, outdoor deck, near the boardwalk, plenty of bedrooms. As other reviews mentioned, the house is older, but it was clean and fit our needs for this trip. Already recommended to other people.

Easy stay, solid experience

The property was a nice location and adequate enough for our large extended family gathering, but I think for the price, it should be kept up a bit better. The air conditioning was adequate which was good, but other amenities were a little lacking. Wifi functional but slow from first two floors, but did not reach 3rd floor. Paint chipping and things generally just not kept up, some stainless steel pots in the kitchen, but may want to bring your own griddle and pot holders. The dishwasher rack was missing a piece which would make it not spin/clean correctly. No grill brush. Only 4 cafe lights were not burnt out on the pergola. Outdoor shower is good for rinsing off, but lacks enough privacy to take a full shower in for most. 2nd floor shower drain and sink drains drain slowly. Seems like outdoor cleanup a little lacking (cigarette butts etc in a cup of water left about) and lawn not mowed, but indoor areas seemed to have been cleaned sufficiently.

I cannot recommend staying at this property in its current condition. The house’s location is great - short walk to the boardwalk/beach and a short, easy drive to the casinos. It’s also a huge house, giving a large group plenty of rooms and space to spread out. Despite these positives, I would not stay here again. I received no communication at check in or check out, or at all during our stay, which I found odd - I had to ask twice for confirmation about how to access the house before receiving a response. The house also sleeps 22, but only 2 physical keys to the front door were provided, neither of which unlock the back door, which is closest to the outdoor shower/most convenient when returning from the beach. A keypad system would make accessing the house much easier, especially for groups that want to split up. The house itself is in very poor condition and unkempt. There is a huge hole in the ceiling of one of the second floor bedrooms. Multiple outlets/wiring jobs looked unsafe. Paint was peeling throughout the house. There were beer cans and trash in the yard. Garbage on the kitchen floor and on the staircases upon arrival. The grill on the deck was unusable, the grates caked in grease/food scraps, which was unfortunate because we were looking forward to using it. Only about 5% of the bulbs on the string lights on the deck worked. There’s more I could add, but ultimately I was disappointed. Major updates/renovations are needed.

John and Rebecca were great hosts who made the check in and check out process very smooth! Beach access was very easy, and they were kind enough to offer us complimentary cocktails at their restaurant down the street. The only downside is that the house was short on some essentials -- there was no sponge for dishes, no shampoo/conditioner, and no trash cans in the bathrooms. Those were minor complaints though. All in all, we had a wonderful stay!

Unfortunately, this house is grossly misrepresented and I’m shocked by the good reviews. The pictures on VRBO don’t come close to the actual rooms. Renters beware. Maybe this was renovated awhile ago and that’s when the photos were taken? We stayed in the third floor bedroom and the electrical outlet pulled out of the wall and the other didn’t work. Cleanliness was also an issue. Of the 10 guests staying in the house, 7 left in the middle of the night, choosing not to stay. What a waste of money.

My family had an amazing time. The location to the beach could not be any better. We were all able to gather around the large table and the living areas were very cozy and comfortable. We would rent again. I’m in agreement with everyone else that already said that house has charm and definitely needs some TLC. I usually choose homes aesthetically pleasing and was bothered by some of the updating that was needed (like a missing tile in a bedroom ceiling). We do a lot of cooking since we are feeding a crew and the cookware could have been better, but there were plenty of dishes and glassware. The beach chairs and bikes need to be updated but there were plenty of sand toys for the kids. The bedrooms were as pictured and it was great that bedding was included as well as beach and bath towels. However, many of the pillows were paper thin. We had a wifi issue but the host handled the issue right away and was very responsive. This is a great house for large crowds that want to enjoy the area and have fun!

This home was perfect for our girls trip! It was a total of 10 females, and this home was perfect! Bedrooms, livingrooms, dining room, kitchen all big areas. The owners are both lovely people and respind quickly! This morning I woke up and took 5 steps to 3rd floor balcony to just watch the waves on beach!! A mist stay again!!!!

Place was great

The house had so much charm! It was a great space for our group

We came here with a group of friends for new years. It accommodated us all with so many rooms. The kitchen was good and there were many sitting areas to hang out. I hope to get the opportunity to stay here again one day.

Size of this house was perfect for my family of 12 & location (1 block from the beach) was great. The house is old & charming, but could use some tlc.

The house was perfect for our party of 12, with lots of bedrooms and open spaces. The dining room table was a perfect size for our Italian Feast dinner. The house is well-lived in but has old-world charm in the details. The beach is very close. Rebecca, the host was very easy to communicate with, I would stay here again

The house itself is a charming property with beautiful carved stair railings, spacious bedrooms, and cozy fireplaces. Unfortunately, the VRBO listing did not accurately portray the property upon our arrival. The yard was neglected, with overgrown bushes and uncut grass, detracting from the house's overall appeal. Additionally, one bedroom had a missing ceiling tile, that left a hold, directly above the bed, and the house was unusually cold due to the hurricane's aftermath, requiring remote thermostat adjustments. While these issues were disappointing, the owner was accommodating in addressing the temperature concern. Basic amenities such as toilet paper were lacking in some bathrooms, and several mattress covers require replacement. Despite these shortcomings, our family thoroughly enjoyed the house, its location, and our overall stay. We would recommend the property with the hope that these minor issues will be addressed for future guests.

Overall happy with our stay. Owners communicated well. Our location to the beach was perfect. Large old house, 3 stories. Spacious. Newer bathrooms and kitchen. Clean. Not the easiest access to unload and bring stuff into the house due to 1 basic entry. Other entry was at the back of the house with stairs to deck passing many garbage cans. And a very nice neighborhood and manicured lawns except for this house. That would really enhance the appeal to this property. We enjoyed our time at this house.

Use caution renting this house. There are many good things here. Location is great and the beach here is beautiful and only a short walk. Downstairs common areas are pretty good but getting tired. Powder room sink worked but the facets and the handles are loose and free floating almost. You could see the air filter while going up the stairs and it appeared to be very dirty. Second floor bathroom had a very bad packing leak around the shower facets. The hot was basically pouring out around the handle and the hot water temperature was so hot, you could scold someone. I called them on Tuesday. Plumber showed up on Friday. There are no shutoff valves except the main in the basement. So, he tightens the packing nuts and removes the handles. No more leak but no more shower. We paid for a place to sleep 22 but only got beds for 16. Owners list the property as having a capacity of 22 people and claims Atlantic City told them to list it at that number. Their bedroom illustration shows capacity for 17 people in beds. We figured there would be fold out couches. We rented house needing sleeping for 21 people. Good thing 4 people cancelled on us. One person slept on a couch. First night there, we tried to use the outdoor grill. We noticed the grease trap was full almost to the top. We cleaned the grease trap and didn’t use it again. Listing 6 cars and 2 parking passes. Then they tell you there is off street parking for 3 cars (we squeezed 4).
