Perfect Location for Family Beach Get-Away

My husband, mother-in-law, and I were thrilled with this delightful space for a two-night vacation. None of us had been to Salisbury before and were thrilled with the swimming and long beach walks to the fun shops and eateries. We were very comfortable and would return!

Couch uncomfortable squeaky, dishwasher not attached, opened window with flies all over, uneven floor throughout felt like you were drunk walking. I had to strategically place my pack and play for my daughter because she kept rolling to one side as the floor was slanted. The host was very responsive, beds comfortable, great beach access and house was updated

Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. We’re glad to hear you found the beds comfortable, appreciated the beach access, and that our responsiveness stood out during your stay. We’re sorry for the inconveniences you experienced with the couch, dishwasher, window, and the uneven flooring. The home is in an older coastal structure, and while it’s been updated, some elements like floor leveling are part of that original construction. That said, your comments are helpful, and we’ll be reviewing the items mentioned to see where improvements or adjustments can be made for future guests. We truly appreciate you staying with us and sharing both the positives and the concerns, and we hope to have the opportunity to host you again under better circumstances.

Perfect for our family vacation

This rental was exactly what myself and my family needed. Directly on the beach making days at the beach so easy with our children(ages 1, 4, 6 & 12)Listing was exactly as described and the house had many little details that were very helpful such as seasonings and creamers. There are stairs to get up to the shared yard/common area and beach; which made it a little difficult for us with having a handicap child that uses a walker and wheelchair but we made it work. The host was extremely fast with responses and very accommodating. Only downfall is your not able to have a fire on the property or the beach.Definitely highly recommend and would book again.

Conveniently located to the beach. Newer appliances, good shower and fresh linens. Bedroom was big enough to fit my daughter’s bassinet. Cons are that you can’t see the water from the windows (have to walk up a flight of stairs). The “common areas” are not well marked or identified in the literature. Lastly the apartment needs more storage for clothes and dry food, plenty of room for it, suggest the entertainment center under the tv in the living room gets converted to a nice big bureau (like in hotel rooms). Overall we enjoyed our stay and would consider again.

Fun Beach and Concert get-away

This quaint, 3 bedroom, one level unit that slept 5 of us comfortably was a perfect location near restaurants and music venues in the center of Salisbury. It was just steps away from the beautiful private beach where we found plenty of sea glass and other beach treasures! There was one designated parking space by the unit, and plenty of off-street parking nearby which was convenient. We appreciated the portable AC which kept the unit very cool and comfortable on the 90+ degree days! The rental management team was very attentive to our needs and responded quickly to any questions. Some of my friends are now interested in returning to this same spot for a future Salisbury Beach visit/vacation with their families! Thank you for helping to make this a memorable and fun trip with friends!!

We’d love to host you and your friends again on your next Salisbury Beach trip!

Great Family Beach Getaway

I rented this property with my husband, children (2 & 4) and parents the week after Labor Day. The property is clean, well-maintained and well-appointed. I appreciated the detailed listing as well as the comprehensive house manual. Even though it was off-season, we had amazing 75-degree weather all week, so the AC and fans were much appreciated. The location was close to activities in Salisbury as well as Hampton Beach. The beach felt private, clean, quiet and so convenient. It was especially great for small children who still nap. While I feel the property was as advertised, the ‘first-level’ unit description is a bit misleading. While you only have to climb four steps to enter the unit, there is a steep wooden staircase to gain access to the yard and beach. My mother has mobility issues, so the staircase was a bit daunting. Again, the listing was accurate, but it’s something to be aware if your family has accessibility concerns. Also, the unit itself has low ceilings. My husband is 6’ 5” and had to duck through doorways and crouch a bit in the shower. Finally, the full-size bedroom does not have AC, and I quickly learned opening the window wasn’t an option, as the window opens to the trash barrels for the entire condo. Fortunately, the standing living room AC can be redirected into the bedroom at night. All in all these were minor tradeoffs for the location, condition of the property and attention to detail of the hosts. We would definitely return!

Really nice location. Very very clean. Easy access to the beach once one learned to walk through the closed door leading to the upstairs apartment. A little cheat sheet left in the apartment could be helpful. Keurig coffee maker was stocked with just enough coffee.Buyer beware! the fees (cleaning, taxes, service fees, and more taxes) were way more than the cost of the apartment. Stupid me- I noticed this after we were standing inside the apartment!

Thank you for the kind words about the location and cleanliness! The feedback on adding a quick reference sheet is a great idea that we'll get added to the apartment. On the fees, those are fully itemized at checkout before booking, though we understand it can be easy to miss in the moment. Hope to have you back!
