    Great location, and everything was exactly as advertised. The owner was super easy to deal with and accommodating whenever possible. Would definitely rent from him again.

    We spent the month of September. The weather was spectacular, ?Because there were 5 bedrooms, we were able to have guests at different times all month, and the long dining table made special meals perfect. The screened in porch was a favorite, as was access to the waterfront in the back yard. We had the grill and a backyard to host picnics. And the location!! Two blocks to the beach. Reviiews from guests were spectacular!

    The house is old, a little creaky and has been warn down from years of use and, having just stayed in it with my family, I understand why so many people have used it so much: It’s the perfect beach house that has no doubt delivered decades of enjoyment and memories to families coming to the Jersey Shore. The bonus room in the attic with its own bathroom is perfect if you have kids. The house is great, but the house itself isn’t what makes this rental so perfect: This house is located within walking distance to everything. It’s two blocks (call it 100 yards?) from the beach. It’s one block from Mueller’s bakery and Charlie’s. It’s 100 feet from the Dune Grass cafe. It’s a block and a half from Teresa’s South restaurant. It’s 75 feet from the playground. You can walk to everything. My girls and I would get up every morning and walk to the beach before breakfast just to see for ourselves what the conditions were. We hit Mueller’s every day after the beach (which may not be a selling point for some of you). We walked to dinner or had it on the porch. It was great.

    My family and I rented the house for the week leading up to Labor Day. We had a great time. The house was spacious, clean, and in a great location. We look forward to staying again.

    The house was perfect for my family. We walked to the ocean with my 2 year old grandson in the wagon. At the corner is a cafe where I got my coffee every morning. People are all very friendly. Sitting in the screened in porch all walking by said hello. We walked to Theresa South for dinner one night. The food was excellent. Also a short drive to Pt Pleasant. My husband said he never felt so relaxed. Thank you Joe.

    Every year we rent a house at the Jersey Shore with my parents, brother and his family and my family, this home had plenty of bedrooms and space to spread out and come together to play board games and enjoy meals together. Only two blocks from the beach and restaurants. The neighborhood is quiet no loud parties (thank god) I would recommend this home to any large family. The central air was such a delight after coming back from the beach. Enclosed large front porch was the hub of our gaming.
