Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
This was the perfect place for a friend-trip with two pups. The dogs loved the fenced yard, we loved all the gates on the different levels of the porch. It is a quick walk to the Atlantic Street Beach Access, which also has parking available. The neighborhood is quiet and makes a perfect walk for the dogs. We had plenty of room in the house, with a great gathering area on the 3rd floor. The management company was extremely quick to respond. Would absolutely stay here again.
