House was very clean. All towels were plastic wrapped on arrival. The kitchen had very nice appliances to include microwave, toaster oven, Keurig, and espresso machine. There was an abundance of dishes and utensils. Nice washer & dryer also. Very convenient to the beach.

Pros: close to beach, close to boardwalk, clean for the most part, good AC, lots of TV’s, fast wifi, washer and dryer, kitchen was NICE! Beds were very comfortable. Cons: needs curtains in the bedrooms (too bright in the morning), the shower floor was gross (mold), low water pressure in showers, one bedroom is more of a hall with no privacy. Construction next door was so loud at 6:30 am every day except Sunday, no yard or grass to take a pet out to use, floors felt like you would fall through in a few places. ANTS, I left a soda on the dresser and went and showered and came back to a line of ants, noticed them wandering all over the house. Not a bad little house, would have been worth the money with a few fixes.
