My wife, son and I stayed a couple nights. It is right on the beach and very close to the boardwalk. The house has great views and enough space for 6. The check out time of 10am for the cleaning crew is ridiculous when there are dirty floors and dishes when we showed up. Some guy waiting outside at 9:45am for us to leave so he could get in…Half rolls of toilet paper and watered down hand soap so bring your own.No jacuzzi tub on property, even though it is shown in the photos.The hot water smells like ocean water.Every single pillow in the house is as flat as a pancake, bring your own.

Perfect beach house
Everything about this place is perfect, easy private access to the beach and very spacious
Only downside is the check-in is too late and checkout is too early but other than that we loved it and hopefully come again.

Excellent beach rental
Very spacious and clean beach house. Views were spectacular and quick access to the beach. A very short walk to the boardwalk walk area and restaurants. We had a wonderful and relaxing time at this house and definitely would stay at this home again!

Do not recommend
I recently stayed at a vacation property and unfortunately, I cannot recommend it. While the location was excellent with private beach access and the ability to walk to most places, the overall experience left a lot to be desired.
One of the biggest disappointments was the family room furniture. Instead of comfortable, indoor couches, we were provided with outdoor furniture which was uncomfortable and impractical for relaxing indoors. It was a huge letdown to find out that we had to make do with these pieces instead of having proper indoor furniture to unwind and relax on.
Another major issue was with the beds in the property. They were the cheapest, most uncomfortable mattresses that I have ever encountered. It was almost impossible to get a good night's sleep, and we woke up feeling more exhausted than before we went to bed. Given that a good night's rest is essential to any vacation, this was a major letdown.
Overall, the property only met the bare minimum standards. While the location was perfect, the furniture and beds detracted from the overall experience. I would not recommend this property to anyone looking for a comfortable and relaxing vacation.
