We had a great experience. We were celebrating our wedding anniversary with family. Easy access to beach. St. Joseph’s Catholic Church is a short drive. We grilled one evening. Highly recommend.

Thank you for your wonderful review! We're delighted to hear you enjoyed your stay, especially during your special celebration. We hope you had a memorable time and look forward to welcoming you back. Enjoy your day!
Super location. Easy walk over boardwalk to the beach. Small amount of grass if you have dogs. No enclosed fence. Clearance for parking is pretty low we couldn’t fit our van completely under cover but managed to park diagonally.

Thank you for your feedback. We're glad you enjoyed the location. We'll consider your suggestions about parking and fencing for future improvements. We appreciate your understanding and hope to see you again.
Location was fantastic, the house was great and so close to everything you could want to do
Would definitely stay here again , the place was great for our family of 6 plus the German shepherd, had everything you needed in the kitchen, since we don't eat out at all . Had some small issues but management was awesome , she had someone there within minutes and fixed them all . Loved the beach and it's very dog friendly. Seen dolphins and sea turtles every day down by the jetti. Did a fishing charter with "Cody" which I highly recommend 56#s of fish and used the grill at the house to cook it up . Thx again can't wait to book the place again next year
Location was excellent walking distance to beach. House did not look like it was cleaned. Shower liner was dirty. Seemed like house had not been mopped. Extra blankets were not clean.

TLC Needed
Master bedroom floor coming up, pads on chaise lounges in terrible condition, batteries to lock box dead when we arrived
House needs some work
It's an older property. So it has some wear and quirks that go along with that. But we felt the price point also reflects that. Very large, comfortable rooms. Each room has it's own tv. The boardwalk to the beach made it easy to go any time. All regular household appliances are present, including a washer and dryer. We were able to cook meals throughout our stay. Although the neighbors are close, it still feels very private and quiet. The property management company has it's own contracts and web portal in addition to the vrbo booking site. But they were very attentive and easy to communicate with.

Thank you for the detailed review of your stay at our property. We appreciate your feedback and the acknowledgment of the property's age and characteristics. We strive to provide a comfortable and convenient experience for our guests, and it's heartening to hear that you were able to take advantage of the amenities and proximity to the beach. Your comments about the property management team's responsiveness are also noted. We're glad you had an overall positive stay, and we hope you'll consider visiting us again in the future.
On the day of our arrival the rental manager called to inform us that the property we had booked was unavailable due to unexpected maintenance. They had another property close by that they could substitute, which turned out to be fine. Plus side was that the new property had a nice pool, downside was that it was further from the beach. Altogether it was the best that could be done, but would have preferred our original location.
