The property was exactly as described and looks from the pictures. Property was clean and well kept up, stayed here with several of my friends but it would be great if you wanted to stay there with your family. Plenty of space to roam around, cook home cooked meals and maybe watch a few movies or sporting events in the living room. Also, it’s not advertised but you do have an ocean view. The only cons I found were some of the batteries in the remote controllers were dead so overall this place is a must stay!

Good size. Lots of extra space and beds for a larger group if needed. Worth noting that the back garden is not fully private and is somewhat shared with the neighboring home. The front patio deck was lovely and was where we spent most of our time.

We loved our stay at this house! The location was perfect- close to the casino, green pier, and all the shops. It was about a 10 minute walk to the ferry. We had some minor complications in the beginning, but the management was very responsive and got it taken care of quickly. The house itself was very charming. It does have a view of the ocean from the balconies! It had a lot of a space, and was quite roomy for 5 people. The back yard was quite large and very quiet. We would definitely stay here again! A+

Girls birthday weekend!

We loved this house - super cute and cheery. We do not consider this to be a 2 bedroom. There is a master bedroom, bunk beds in the hallway upstairs, and a murphy bed that pulls out of the wall in the laundry room. Close quarters for 6 people. But served its purpose! You will not get a response sending a message through VRBO to the property manager - you have to call to ask questions. They were super helpful and let us check in early! Also be prepared to climb a hill to get to this house! But once you are there it is a cute place!

Had to do laundry during vacation!

Upon arrival the property looked liked it had not been cleaned. There were unmade beds, which means they did not wash or change the linens. In the bathrooms, the sinks were dirty and dirty towels were hanging. There were not enough clean towels for me and my guest. This meant I had to do laundry! It was obvious it was not cleaned after the last guest. Lastly, I tried to reach out informing them about the issue and there was no response. Will not be returning.
