I literally cannot think of anything negative to say about this property and its owner. #1: Beth is amazing! She was in contact with us before we arrived, and highly available during our stay. She only checked in on us once via text to make sure that we had found everything we needed and if there was anything else she could do to ensure that we had a wonderful weekend.
The property is at the north end of the boardwalk which made it great for our family. There is less foot traffic due to businesses being a couple of blocks down, and afforded us the privacy we needed after 10 days in NYC & Philadelphia. Don't get me wrong...a VERY short walk, or ride on one of their bikes, will get you to everything the boardwalk affords from entertainment, to shopping or dining. We have 5 teenagers, and they were thrilled to be able to walk down to the shops and activities while we enjoyed a bottle of wine on the balcony.
And the beach...if you came for the beach, you can't get much closer! Even though it was chilly, we were front and center and slept with our door open each night to hear the ocean. Every morning my daughter would take her breakfast to the beach and read, and my son would fly the kite he found in the garage while he waded in the water (albeit cold!).
The only negative comment I would make is our fault and certainly not of the property or its owners. We have never rented a true "beach house" before in our long tenure as Homeaway guests, and didn't realize that with most of these types of properties you bring your own linens. We laughed at the idea of 7 of us (5 girls in fact) sharing 4 towels, but after our aunt (who also owns a rental property on the boardwalk) explained to us that beach properties operate this way, we fully understood the reasoning behind this. We rectified the situation easily by borrowing a couple of towels from our aunt and purchasing a few cheap beach towels for our short visit.
If you are lucky enough to book this property during the warm season, you definitely will not be disappointed. Such a gem, and we will absolutely stay here again if it is available when we make it back to the area...and we will bring towels. ;) Beth, thanks for a wonderfully relaxing ending to a most memorable trip back east! --The Beggs Family
