We loved this house! It was very clean and had everything we needed. The enclosed yard was perfect for our pup. The house is nicely decorated. My husband and son and his friend had a great time fishing on the dock. The decks were so nice and the furniture out there was wonderful. We seriously enjoyed every minute of staying in this home.

Absolutely Perfect! We rent in Sea Isle quite often and this was the pick of the litter for us! Extremely clean, well stocked, perfect location and a great layout. Plenty of space inside and out. The Hinojosa's were amazing hosts with quick responses to questions. We will, without a doubt, be renting here again!

Great Weekend Getaway

We've taken a number of weekend getaways, this far exceeded our expectations. Our host (Liz) was excellent, the property was very well taken care of, just getting a chance to relax was what my wife and I needed the most. Highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a great place to stay and relax, fish a little or just read a book.

Rest & Relaxation!

We had a cery enjoyable time here! We sat outside every night enjoying the vreeze and the kids kayaked (one provided and we brought a few of our own) and they found baby jellyfish (that didnt sting) in the canal. The house was supee cute, very clean and the beds were comfy! The only thing we wish we had brought with us was the corn hole game.
