We are a group of four families, kids ages 5-13. We had plenty of room in this well-outfitted home. Plenty of driveway parking, large patio and backyard, plenty of room to gather in the dining room and living room. Just a short walk to Ideal Beach and quick drive to the waterpark for an afternoon activity. We picked up tasty "football" pizzas from Luigi's in Hazlet one night and lobsters at Belford Seafood Cooperative another.

We booked this day to celebrate a wedding and it was the perfect choice. The house is beautifully decorated and stocked with everything you could possibly need, and all with more than enough space to accommodate an entire bridal party getting ready for a wedding. Our host was super accommodating and responsive to our questions and concerns. I would definitely stay here again!

You have to improve
Everything seemed bad from the start, the owner asked for IDs from everyone in my group (14), how were we going to send our IDs? The rules are a bit ridiculous, at the end of the stay we had to remove all the sheets from the beds and leave them on the floor, in my opinion this is a job that should be done by the cleaning lady and that's why I paid a lot of money for...I know very well Even though the owner doesn't clean the place, the person who does doesn't do their job well either. All the pillows smelled really bad and one bed had blood on the sheets. The sheets were definitely very dirty. I would never consider this house as an option again. I'm sad. The appliances didn't work. The house looks really big but the bedrooms are really small. Sorry, I thought a lot I have no qualms about leaving a bad review but I find it unfair for the price that they don't even wash the sheets.

Wonderful house
Beautiful home. Just a great stay. Only notes. The one bed has a missing screw and collspsed in the middle of the night. Broken dishwasher, but not a big deal. We just used paper plates. Had a super great time here visiting our family. Want to do it again next year.

Came from AZ to attend a memorial
This home was perfect for my family. There were 9 of us and plenty of room for all. We spent time on the beautifully tiled back patio with additional family visitors and it was easy to host them. All
Linens were clean and fresh and the home over all very clean. Location was great and we took multiple strolls to the beach which was nearby. The host was very responsive and greeted us to explain everything. WiFi worked great and a large screen, smart TV was installed before we arrived. This place was wonderful for a large group and I would not hesitate to stay here again.

Unfortunately not what is advertised
When arriving, property is under construction and should not be listed just yet. This caused high safety concern for my littles. Also, very dusty and dirty inside, no WiFi, no televisions, blood on wall, host has neighbors watching every move. Completely uncomfortable entire stay. Would not recommend staying at property until some significant changes have been made!
