This pet friendly property was absolutely amazing. Nicely decorated and furnished with plenty of supplies for cooking. The outdoor area was incredible as well. Right down the street from awful Arthur’s and the Avalon fishing pier, it was great if you enjoy the beach/fishing.

Great property and location! Only complaint is that the cleaning prior to our arrival was subpar. Crumbs on the counters, hair on the floor, and some mildew in the shower of the shared bathroom.Very well furnished and comfortable!
