    The best thing about this property is that it is right on the beach and it has a semi private pool. Otherwise, it was terrible being on the lower unit. There were 7 teenagers staying in the unit above us and it was SO loud and the house literally shook while they were walking above us. The king bed is AWFUL. It creaked with every small movement you would make. The sink in the bathroom would not drain (however, the property manager did fix it within a day). Overall we were not happy with our stay.

    I loved the convenience of the pool and private entrance to the beach. The living space was spacious and let in plenty of light. The grill worked well and fresh towels were helpfully provided. Some improvable aspects were the wooden deck was weathered and therefore difficult to walk on in some areas. In my bedroom, there was lots of light from outside that made it challanging for me to sleep. My bed was uncomfortable.

    Family and friends needed a well deserved vacation. Even though the weather wasn't the best, the beach house was perfect. We will book again next year.

    This property has easy access to the beach and beautiful views for the sunrise. The kitchen was very well stocked with items (pots, pans, knives dishes, mugs, glasses,casserole dishes, baking sheets, etc.) you would need to feed a group. We rented both the upper and lower units so it was great to use the whole outdoor common space to leave our beach items and congregate at the fire pit area. The fire pit area was larger than it looked in the pictures and shared by both units. Plenty of outdoor porch seating and a picnic table for the lower unit. There were two enclosed/private outdoor showers - very useful(shared with upper unit). Parking was enough for all 6 of our vehicles (both units). There were stairs to get up to the unit. We had my elderly parents and used Ocean Cures (the best!!!) beach wheelchairs for them on the beach. The only problem was that the boardwalk to the beach was not wide enough to accommodate the wheelchairs but we made it work. Close enough to walk to boardwalk but not too close to be near the noise and crowds. We could also see the Thursday night fireworks from the boardwalk outside the rental unit. It was a great beach house and we would rent again - especially if using both units. (Not sure how it would be someone else above or below)

    This property was nice, on the beach, kitchen well-stocked. Worked well for our party of 8. The only issues were trash outside was overflowing and the bunk room did not have the trundle bed under it, so the oldest child slept on the couch for our stay.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here! The property was clean and well maintained and extremely convenient to the boardwalk too. We would definitely stay here again.

    Nice views right on the beach and easy walk to the beach. The only negative about being in the lower unit is hearing everything upstairs, however it wasn’t too bad with the people who were there, thankfully.
