Charming and cozy studio apartment with nice amenities. New linens and plush towels too. Very cute and comfortable. There are two beach accesses very close to the property. It is right on the street so expect some car noise, we were there during a nor’easter so traffic was light. We enjoyed our stay in this former barracks building.

Great spot by the beach

This was a perfect spot for me and my husband. The home is clean and cozy and the beach access is right there. It’s south of the boardwalk, so about a 25 min walk, which is totally doable. Overall very happy and would recommend.

Sweet little spot

We had a wonderful stay in this sweet studio. The place was so cute and spotless. The bedding and towels were so nice and comfortable. The kitchen had all the necessary items and the bathroom was also stocked with bath items. The flowers, ice cream bars, dry snacks and personal note were such a great touch. Would highly recommend.

Well-located and quaint!

Exactly what my wife and I needed for a quick beach weekend. Perfectly located, cozy and comfortable, and excellent communication. Other than the shower being a liiiittle tight for a big guy, it was everything we needed it to be. Would definitely stay here again - right across the street from a beach access and a number of great walkable restaurants.
