Responsible Groups Welcome 3 br Ocean/boardwalk block cottage-Brian's Beach Pad!

The house we rented was perfect for us and our 2 dogs. Brian, the property manager, was very friendly and easy going. Just a short walk to the beach and boardwalk. This is the first trip where my boyfriend and I included our children, grandchildren from both sides. It was a great week!

I booked this property a day and a half before going and had confirmation within hours. The property owner was very nice, he had referrals for dining, supplied bicycles for riding and practically everything we needed to settle right in. The rental itself was great for our family of 4, roomy and spacious with complete kitchen and laundry room. We were located only 2 blocks from the boardwalk and beach. Dining and entertainment were conveniently located. We had a wonderful time on our mini vacation. Would recommend to any one especially if you have a pet.

We were so lucky to find this place! The cottage is in the heart of downtown and we were able to get around easily on foot or bike to everything we wanted. The place had all supplies we needed for making a nice meal or relaxing on the cozy couches and watching TV. It was very convenient to have our own washer/dryer in our place! We enjoyed sitting on the patio and watch the ppl and activities outside. The best part of all was the short walk to the beach! I would recommend to anyone...it’s great if you just want a short weekend away to recharge your batteries or if you want to do a longer family vacation! Relax and enjoy?????

The owner, Brian and property manager, Bob, were the nicest people. The house itself was clean but the twin beds and double full size beds definitely need new mattresses. It was like sleeping on a 3 mattress over cement blocks. Other than that, it was well maintained and all essentials (except paper products) were supplied. Loved that they had beach chairs and bikes available to use. Just wished we had more sunny days than the leftover of TS Gordon on Sat/Sun and the incoming H. Florence Thurs. We could still walk the boardwalk! Next time we come we will be sure it is not during Bikers Week!!! Thank you again Brian & Bob.

Excellent location, 1 block from the beach!! Property Manager lives literally right behind the house so if we had any issues that needed to be addressed, he was right there at all times to handle them! House is a pretty good size; fit my family of 10 comfortably. Everything works in the kitchen. The only downsides I would give and the reason im giving only 4 starts instead of 5, would be that the back door came off track quite a few times so that was annoying having to continue fixing as we had kids onsite. The other issue was that the half bathroom is basically just a toilet in a very small closet (no room really to sit comfortably)..other than that, great stay! Bob, the Property Manager, was real cool! Was there whenever we needed him and even let us cook on his grill when we wanted to grill out! He was also able to recommend places to eat in the area with us being out-of-towners. Great customer service! Would definitely stay again!!

Check out the reviews, the good ones are from 2014 to 2016. I dont think they did anything since then. The nice pic of the front porch with the cover, nope an old tarp with tons of holes and tearss, no place to cover from rain, outdoor shower, did not work and only had hot water coming out in drops, it was alwful, grill was old and not cleaned, place was dirty, sofas have stains everywhere, I cleaned the whole place the first two hours upon arriving...we left it cleaner than when we arrived. Never touched the blankets or pillows there. Shower was gross. Dog hair everywhere, The whole street has cute houses except for this one. Pics online are not updated. For the cost of one week rental in summer time they could use that to fix the place up. AC barely worked in Living Room...oh and you only get a Netflex channels...not real TV/Cable. Tables were dirty. We only had 5 adults and two kids and it was a struggle. No AC in the small bedroom off of Living Room you have to leave door open and same for the single bedroom. With just a little bit of effort you could make this really nice. Shows how lazy owner is...I am embrassed I paid as much as I did for this place. VRBO should not endorse this rental.

The pictures on the web site do show what is in the cottage but what the pictures don't show is the condition of the cottage. A lot of the slats in the blinds were broken, the one full length mirror in the cottage was cracked and dangerous, the bin in the refrig was also cracked and broken and was dangerous, window screens were ripped or none there, hole in the closet wall, broken tiles, broken slider screen and slider door did not lock. The TV only worked 20% of the time, spent most of the time trying to reboot and reconnect to the service to use for that 20%. The living room furniture was ok but new covers would help. The deck outside is great as long as it doesn't rain as there are numerous holes in the sail that is used as an awning. The outdoor shower had no water pressure and was on the moldy side, and the only form of seating was a picnic table that I had to hammer down some nails that were sticking up on the seat. Again, this cottage had a nice location and could be a nice rental if it where fixed and cleaned up. I do have to say that the owner and the manager did answer my phone calls and tried to make some fixes. But, the place needs more than a quick fix.

I was very disappointed with this rental. Not what I thought it would be for that price. Place was run down, not cleaned well and in poor condition. Furniture looked about 20+ years old and worn out. Most of the blinds were broken or falling apart. Minimal kitchen supplies and not cleaned well. Front porch “awning” was a former sail and did not cover the porch completely and the place had absolutely no landscaping. The owners however were very nice and helpful and did try to right what’s was wrong but still a sad looking place. Rest of properties on street were clean and well kept... at least from the outside. Could really be a cute rental but needs major overhaul. Again way overpriced!

Me and 8 other friends stayed in this cottage for our senior week. We were immediately met by the property manager, Bob, who might be the coolest, nicest person we've met in awhile. We got one parking spot on the side of the house and whichever cars had to be parked in the back with a fee for the week. The house was perfect for our group and with an outdoor shower it made everything a lot easier. The porch was more than ideal for the late night hanging out. The inside had spacious rooms with a nice couch and tv in the living room. The kitchen is amazing for a one week stay. The distance from the cottage to the boardwalk is no more than a 2 minute walk. We also had the opportunity to meet the property's owner who was also a very cool and relaxed guy. We will be more than willing to stay here and you'd be very dumb to overlook this place.

This place was in the ideal location. Far enough from the hustle and bustle of the boardwalk but close enough to stroll every night. I really liked that it was also a couple of minutes to walk to the beach. For the amount that we paid for Labor Day weekend and the location, it was a good deal.
