First, I have a 2018 Dodge Grand Caravan and it fit exactly in the garage with my windows folded in and a couple inches to spare, so if you want to know if your vehicle will fit, look up the dimensions. No one would give me measurements so hopefully this will help future tenants. The location of this place was excellent and with three college age kids with us, having them on their own floor with own bathrooms was perfect. It was so nice having three balconies with views. Although some of the furniture and carpeting needed cleaning or replacement, this is a beach house and we were fine with it, we did not spend a lot of time there. We thought it was a great place and would definitely stay there again.
Te location is wonderful. Easy to walk to boardwalk as well as several eateries. Townhome was clean and beds were comfortable.
Clean enough and perfect location. The decks are wonderful and the beds are great. Definitely needs updates and some TLC. The kitchen and full baths need to be gutted and totally redone. The couch sags. I also didn't understand why I had to stop the realty office to pick up check in materials. I'd definitely come back, though.
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved that it was oceanfront and it had enough room for our family. A deep cleaning would have been nice. I spent the first day cleaning it myself and Maintenance had to come in to clean the dishwasher which was moldy/mildewy. It could use some updating.
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The place itself, is very dirty, old and dated. The master bathroom is tiny, with a very low toilet and small shower stall with a curtain. The lighting in this bathroom is terrible.The carpeting in the entire unit should be removed, as it is very stained, dirty and smells. The railings are disgusting to touch, sticky with grime build up, that I could not remove even with 409. The dryer is on its last legs, it screamed terribly on several occasions, which left us nervous to put clothes in it and walk away. Short and t shirts took 2 hours to dry.The furniture, as I said is old, dated and dirty, but adequate . The rattan dining room furniture needs a good scrubbing as the crevasse are full of dirt and grime. I don’t think the cleaners ever wipe down the baseboards or dining room chandler as they too had a lot of dust on them, throughout the entire place.The air vent door is also very dirty and had mold on them.The kitchen had more items than we expected (ie some basic spices, coffee filters, sugar salt pepper etc). the description gave the impression there were none, It is small, a “one butt” as we call it. However, it did lack some basic cooking utensils. (measuring cup, whisk,). The knives were all very dull. There were 2 sets of dishes and eating utensils, which we found odd. The ice maker in the freezer does not appear to be hooked up. The cabinets are the original, painted a lot.There were no instructions on how to operate the tv, there were 3 remotes. Like I said great location, easy beach access. In the past we have stayed at places with direct beach access (versus this one which is a public access), so this wasn’t bad at all.The place was adequate but for what it cost, we know we could have stayed at a more updated, modern place. We will not be returning to this unit, but we will to CB. We have come to CB every year for the past 8 years.
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was somewhat unhappy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I just want to forewarn future guests so that they do not experience the level of disappointment that my family and I experienced. The property is ocean front, but does not have a walkway or pathway to the beach. The only walkway is a Public Beach Access down the road. The beach was extremely overly crowded with lots of people within less than 6 inches of each other. The surrounding units were being “repaired” the entire time we were there. We were woken up very early every morning by the very loud sounds of power tools, hammering and music. The property is also extremely outdated. The carpets could use a good cleaning and the furniture could be updated. I must mention that Bryant Real Estate was absolutely amazing. Their staff were very helpful and friendly. I would definitely recommend booking with them, just not this particular unit.
3 week rental and the furniture, carpets, kitchen appliances, cabinets, silverware, plates and bathroom fixtures all totally outdated, grungy and just worn out. I’m trying to rent another unit I. This building but not this one.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was somewhat unhappy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The views from this unit are great, however the unit needs major upgrades. The carpet is very dirty. All furniture and appliances needs replaced as well. The bathrooms smell really bad (despite me cleaning them myself) so it’s best to keep the doors open for fresh air. The beds (ALL) are very hard and uncomfortable. I had an issue with the garage door however the maintenance department was there within an hour to fix it. I don’t recommend this unit if you have more than one vehicle. The garage is very small and full of toys and other things.
