Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
This cute house was clean and newly renovated. It had the perfect beachy vibe. It was a great place to be, since we were indoors all weekend because of the nor'easter. They provided board games for entertainment. The backyard was perfect for our dogs. The screened in porch was also nice because we could sit outside and enjoy the rain. We would definitely stay there again!

Love the house and the management company was great. One of the fans didn't work and they sent someone out to get it looked at almost immediately. The communication was top notch!

Perfect Cottage Close to the Shore

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great location and very well kept cottage. We had furry friends with us and wonderful stay for them as well. Lots of amenities and highly recommend bringing bikes as everything is just a quick bike ride away, including the Wright Brothers Memorial, the Sound (path alongside) and Avalon Pier.
