We had a great stay with two other families - including a total of 5 kids under the age of 6! We found that the home was pretty quiet in terms of sound insulation, which was really helpful for different nap / tantrum schedules. The only "complaint", which is nothing specific about the house itself, was that there was virtually no beach at high tide. But there was plenty to do within walking distance, including a playground and several great food options. Overall it was a great stay and we'd be happy to stay there again.

Excellent guest experience. The accommodations were as advertised, and the host was prompt to reply when we had questions or needed a last minute late check out. We loved being centrally located, walking distance to IGA and the ABC store, but far enough from the pier that the public beach access nearby wasn’t super crowded. Bonus points for being very well stocked, from kitchen gadgetry, to towels/linens, down to beach chairs and bikes; it made it easy to pack light.

The property is in a great location. Ocean front and private walkway over dune. Beautiful ocean views from the large main deck and even the large lower deck had ocean views. There were a few disappointing parts . the home needs better cleaning. We had to wipe down table and run the dishwasher with two loads of cups, silverware, plates, and coffee and blender componenets. And the walls and floors had splashes of liquid in multiple spots that hadn’t been cleaned. So we had to clean up with some wipes we brought from home as there was t access to mops. Also at this price point I would expect really comfortable beds. Three of the king mattresses were so soft and bouncy with little support that they made for difficult sleeping. So while the scenery was restful the sleeping was not. I don’t think I’d stay here again due to the beds. The hot tub was a hit but even that was glitchy and would either overheat or stop running. The management company was very responsive and sent help for this.
