This was a last minute booking for me and my family and overall it was great. Walking distance to the beach and boardwalk. The space in the apt was great for 6 people, there’s a swimming pool for kids as well. The place was pretty clean two queen beds and sofa bed, the only bad thing about the sofa bed was that the sheets were dirty and mattress was so thin but overall it was great!

Room to sleep.

The pool is nice and has outside shower as well. When you come off the beach there is a way to remove the sand before bringing the outside into your room.
