We had a nice family vacation at John's place in Manahawkin. The house was clean, bright, and the deck in the back of the house was lovely. Since this house is in Manahawkin, it is about a 15 minute ride away from the closest beach, so it's not exactly a beach house, but it's nice if you'd like an escape from the hustle and bustle of the island. The property is right on the bay, and there are paddle boards and kayaks which were fun for the teenagers on our trip. Overall, a lovely property and vacation.
