    Very nice home in a great location. The walk to the beach wasn't far at all. Plenty of parking for extended family. Our only little complaint would be in the kitchen where new pots and pans are really needed. Overall it was a great place to stay. Would definitely stay again!

    The rental company was very accessible for any questions or concerns we had throughout the booking and check in process. The fridge was broken before we even checked in and was replaced by the 3rd day. The house was clean and beautiful. The WiFi was good, tvs were good, dishwasher worked, stove and oven worked. AC was great. No complaints it was a great choice for a family vacation

    great location many fun things to do. TV remotes had many issues with all, oven/stove, and fridge pretty dated but all in all it was a great time and we really enjoyed the stay!

    We enjoyed our stay at this property. It’s conveniently located to the beach. The house offers many amenities and conveniences with lots of room. The property was very clean. It is managed by a realty company. It is my belief that after paying $6,000 for a week ( including all fees & taxes) that the company could provide toilet paper, paper towels, dish detergent. I was surprised that a maintenance man came into the house while we were out. I thought that could be taken care of after we left the property for the week. It was a non emergency issue ( changing air filter). Being on this end of the beach you are a couple miles from the boardwalk area & need to drive there. Parking is a problem. The city and private parking areas are a rip off and they are anxious to hand out tickets. So beware. It seems that if you’re staying on the north side, where this house is located, you are penalized by this. Overall it was a good experience. Very nice house. We enjoyed our time there.

    Overall this property was a let down. First thing we noticed was how dirty it was. The floors were black and covered in dirt and sand. There was dust covering most all the furniture and ceiling fans. The outdoor furniture was falling apart and the dining room table top was impossible to sit at without things getting stuck to it no matter how much we tried to clean it. The dishwasher smelled like a dying animal. We had to buy cleaning products in order to be able to use the dishwasher and to try to clean the table. The listing mentioned a wagon included to help take your things to the beach. We looked everywhere and couldn’t find one. When I messaged the host I was told it must have broke and sorry for the inconvenience. Yet they sent me an email about renting one from them. Overall would not recommend staying here or at a property managed by this company.

    My husband and I were on vacation with our adult children and grandchildren so we needed a large house. The house is located right across the street from the ocean and has a pretty view from the deck. The beach access directly across from the house remains closed due to erosion. There were numerous small things that were broken or not working properly. The kitchen cabinets are in total disarray. The floor was very dirty. If you walk barefoot your feet will become black. Overall I would not recommend renting this house until it is renovated.

    Perfect house for a group of friends. The beach is a close walk. Balcony areas are fantastic with a beautiful view. The kitchen doesn’t have a wide variety of cookware, so if you need something special, bring it. There wasn’t a cutting board and knives were super dull, I would just bring our own next time. I would rent this house again!

    Upon arrival we found the upstairs bathroom curtain rod lying on the floor. It would barely stay up. The floors are nasty. If you stay here wear shoes while in the house or your feet will be black. There is mold in the showers and dishwasher. Master shower handle is backwards so cold is hot and hot is cold. Outdoor furniture is falling apart. Just not a great place. Needs to be updated. Won’t stay here again.

    Six children were celebrating the 86th birthday of their mother. She always said she hated the beach but this experience has changed all of that. The ocean views were breathtaking for her. The cleanliness of the property was tops for her.

    We were in CB to have a celebration of life memorial at the Island North Gazebo, rose ceremony @ the pier and reception @ high tide. The house was the perfect amount of space. Being in walking distance could not have been better with going back and forth to get things set up. The only issue we had was navigating the stairs being 50+ and getting everything out by 10AM Cleaning lady was waiting to get in and it just took awhile for us to pack up the fridge etc. I highly recommend a late check-out if available or clean out the fridge etc the night before.
