Within walking distance to the boardwalk
The location was wonderful and close to the boardwalk but you would need a car to go see some of the tourist’s attractions. The coffee pot that was provided in the room was missing the actual pot itself (which I never said anything to staff) it wasn’t a huge deal to us, we just walked to near by coffee shops each morning. The property was clean and I would recommend to others.

Unbearable Noise
I will start by saying that the unit is exactly as described in the listing pics. It was very cozy. HOWEVER, the unit next to ours had a dog that barked all morning and evening (we werent in the until all day - but I will assume it barked at those times as well). I spoke with the onsite property manager (who confirmed they were aware of the issue but could not reach the tenant) and eventually spoke with the management company to inform them I could no longer deal with the constant barking. Additionally, as far as noise, be prepared for seversl wake up calls from the local roosters. I will not patronize the location or management company in the future.
