Three families travel every summer (4 adults and 6 children ages 15, 9, 9, 7, 6, 5) and we always look for beach and walkable activities. This was our first time in Seaside Heights and selected it based on location and upon finding this house. It was perfect for our family of 5 upstairs and the two smaller families downstairs. It gave us togetherness but the ability for space apart when needed. The location is in perfect proximity to the beach and boardwalk, on the quieter end. It is still a busy place so there was some noise at night but not horrible. The upper deck was the best for hanging out, people watching, and to see the fireworks. Ruth was a very responsive host and both levels had everything you need and more. Highly recommend this home!
