Location is great

Being one block from the beach was fantastic. Apartment was clean and comfortable. We had an issue with the heat being on constantly but the owner had the maintenance man come and at least get it to stop blowing. At 2 weeks past our trip I still didn’t have the deposit back and had to text to get it sent. Not my favorite rental experience, but the location made up for a lot.

This property is in a terrific location. Really short walk to a small beach by the channel, longer walk to large park, playground and channel beach, ocean beaches and the shops and restaurants. I rated the property low because I had to reach out to PM for check in info and he said there was a double booking so moved us to another unit. The place was clean except for the larger heater vent that was so full of lint it was starting to look like a stuffed animal. We couldn’t get the washer to work and no reply from PM. There is no propane tank on the barbecue. All the furnishings and linens are really cheap - the sofa has a cover on it - no matching towels.

Very disappointing

Nice location. Poorly maintained property. Heat did not work, very poor internet connection, old plumbing and chipped tiles. No shower door or curtain so bathroom flooded when you shower. Over-priced for lack of quality.

Overall, this place is a nice little place close to everything we wanted to be close to, and really enjoyed our stay. The only negative things which is not a big deal is that you have the one parking spot in the garage which is not big enough for anything other than a very small small car. The ad said wouldn’t fit an SUV so we had a very different idea of the car fitting.. Also, it would be nice to have a screen door on the sliding glass door that we liked having open because we ended up with a lot of flies. The bed was comfortable. Everything else about this day was fantastic.!

Nice location, some issues

The property was easy to access, not sure where the assigned parking spot was (wish there was better instructions). House was small. Floors were dirty, the baby had black feet after walking barefoot. We were not aware there was someone directly above the bedrooms, someone was very loud walking all night preventing us from getting sleep. Location was great though! Super close to the beach which was wonderful and an easy walk. Saturday we had some sort of bug infestation near the patio door. The toilet also had to be adjusted a few times so it could flush. Overall place worked for what we needed. Wish there were instructions somewhere for TV, internet. Couldn’t find a manual or anything.

hop, skip, jump to the beach!

What makes this little home such an ideal vacation spot is the location. It's a super quick walk to the boardwalk, fun touristy shops, excellent restaurants, ice cream, coffee and cocktails . No need to get in a car at all once you arrive. (*Note - Parking on the street out front is not a problem.) There's a friendly neighborhood grocery store that is a quick on-foot trip as well. The unit itself is cozy and comfortable. The neighborhood feels entirely safe. I would say one thing: If you feel like having a glass of wine when you're winding down in the evening, be sure to bring your own wine glasses. There is exactly one on the premises. But hey, you're at the beach, so any glass will do.

House was clean and had everything you need. Walking distance to beach.

Renting was fine when going in with friends since we all paid. Only one thing I didn’t like was the garage. Way to small. Wasn’t comfortable parking my Honda Accord so I parked out on the streets.
