Crooked Carriage House
It was close to the wedding venue I was attending, the outlet mall and Blue ChipCasino. The home is old and therefore the foundation is noticeably tilted and leaning. It was difficult to get used to and would not be suitable for someone with balance issues.

Short stay
The property owner was very nice a stayed communicating. When I’m renting a place I would rather not be bothered and contact owner as needed. It was clean except tub with a patch hair on drain. 2nd bathroom was small but doable.

Cute Space
We enjoyed our short stay! The host was very kind, helpful and attentive. This old cottage has a lot of charm! It's definitely old though, so there are some understandable characteristics that go along with it. It's in a good location. The neighborhood seems to be in a transitional stage. Love the art district. Close to the beach. Close to the outlet mall. Good restaurants, bars, coffee shops nearby~ within minutes.

Uninhabitable.
We were only in the house for about 25 minutes and decided it was uninhabitable and could not stay. Property description was not at all accurate. It does not meet minimum rental/hotel standards. It is not a vintage charmer. Would recommended against staying at this property.

Adequate for the weekend
Overall, the property was as described online. It is historic and charming, however, I didn't realize my mother would be uncomfortable with the slightly sloping floors, so that was unfortunate. The house was tidy, but I don't think it had been used in a bit because there were spiders and webs in the corners. The property was fenced in and felt safe, but some of the surrounding buildings were in disrepair and made the neighborhood feel a little bit sketchy. Again, probably ok for me, but Mom felt uneasy. Host was very attentive! He met us at the property and showed us everything. He texted once to check on us and I thought that was very kind. Overall, it met our needs for the weekend, but I won't try to bring my mom back there.

This property was very close to the beach. It had the basic’s available. Not so kid friendly but we made it doable. Owner was very pleasant and communicated throughout the stay.
