From the moment our reservation was accepted, it was clear that this owner cared deeply about her guests' experience. Alexis talked to us about our group and what we expected from the vacation and she was correct when she said that our family would absolutely love this property. We did. The location is perfect. The property is half a block from the beach. So, it is close enough for a quick walk, but far enough away to avoid the noise from the crowds. Also, the property is only a few blocks from the boardwalk. Again, a perfect walk but still quiet and lovely at night. The home has so many great features. From the two outdoor showers where we could happily rinse off after a day at the beach to the many books, games, beach accoutrements and well-stocked seasonings and utensils and kitchen appliances for every possible need. The house also had plenty of towels and liquid soap and shampoo and any item you might need for the beach. There were toys for children, beach towels, beach bags, a wheeled carry all, a beach umbrella, stroller and many items for parents to care for young children. The beds were comfy and there was plenty of room for a large, extended family. The teenagers and young adults very much enjoyed the social space underneath the house, where they could relax, have refreshments and spend time away from the older adults. There was also lots of room for vehicles. We could have fit at least four cars on the property, which was great since the street parking does gets filled up during the day. The house was very nicely decorated with lots of handmade items that were charming and gave its a very homey feel. The open floor plan allowed our family to interact while cooking and playing games. The house was very clean and well-appointed. The photos are 100% accurate and the house is even lovelier in person. The owner was very responsive to any inquiries and needs and just a pleasure in terms of communication and assistance. Our family very much enjoyed our stay and we would love to come to this beautiful home again. Thank you for a wonderful vacation. We hated to leave.
