Location can't be beat!

Our stay at Dooley's place was a quick walk to the beach, ice cream and other local shops that my teens liked to walk to. The house had everything we needed and I enjoyed the screened in porch with coffee in the morning. Thanks

Great location

Perfect location very short walk to the beach. The house was great, clean, and a little yard for the kids to play in. My fur baby enjoyed it and he was allowed on the beach before 9am and after 5pm. The only thing I would suggest would to fence in the yard completely based off pictures I thought it was so my fur baby could run around a play off the his leash to feel at home. We look forward to staying here again!

Location location location

I couldn’t recommend Dooley’s Place enough. It is prime location to everything you need including the beach, bars/restaurants, and the boardwalk. Not only is it pet friendly but so is the entire neighborhood! There is even an entrance to the greenway about 0.5 miles from the house. Great for walking the dog and getting exercise

3generation stay

We are 60 yr old parents of 2 adult kids that want to hang out with us!! However since the whole family was going my son asked if my 85 yr old mom would join so we wouldn’t be leaving her at home with out her daily check-ins from all of us!! This was the perfect place for all of us!! Only a couple of steps up into the house and mom joined us for the fireworks on the beach from the very close boardwalk Beach access!! We all enjoyed spending time together meal prepping and playing several of the games offered by hosts!!

Thank you for the positive review. We're glad to hear that the property was a good fit for your family gathering, allowing your elderly mother to join comfortably and participate in the festivities. Accommodating the needs of multi-generational groups can be a challenge, but it sounds like this location was able to meet everyone's requirements. We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.

Comfortable and convenient!

We loved our stay at Dooley's Place! The house was clean and spacious and was really kid and pet-friendly, with toys/bowls for the dog and beach toys, games, and children's books for the kids. The neighborhood where it is located is quiet and a short and easy walk to the beach. The boardwalk is about a 20 minute walk or quick drive away. Thursday night there was live music at the pier nearby and fireworks at the boardwalk (but easily visible from the beach area near the house), so it made for a fun evening for our family.
