Amazing! Everyone want to go back!!
The house is amazing and is soo much better than what the pictures show. Went with six teenagers and they are still talking about the trip and want to go back. The beach is close by and it was not crowded at all. The teens did not want to leave the beach. We even saw the full moon on the beach! Highly recommend for great photos! Heather has thought of everything for this house! It is very family and kid friendly with books to read and games to play. The teens loved the ping ball table and resting on the porch talking amongst themselves. The neighborhood was quiet and everyone was really friendly. I loved how the house was a small drive from the center of town. It made things quieter and the beach was not as busy as it would be if the house was located in town. The views were amazing driving into town and it was a relaxing drive. Didnt have much city lights and could see the stars! A great hit for the teens at night and finding stars on their star apps. Heather has thought of everything that you need for this house. It was really clean and had a full kitchen for cooking. I didnt think i was going to get much rest on this vacation with six teens but, I was wrong. There is a list of places to go see and places to eat on the pegboard. She is very responsive and just ask if you have a question. She also gave us ideas what to see on the island and they were all amazing! I highly recommend that you book this house. If I could give it a thousand stars I would.

Dottie Del Mar- Sea Isle
Enjoyed the week, home slept 12 comfortably. Close to the beach, Marina, access to Sea Isle pier included in the rental. Washer, dryer, and dishwasher work great. Keurig is broken, but there is a coffee pot that does the job. Low water pressure in the kitchen sink was frustrating, but we made it work. Refrigerator/Freezer upstairs and down made space for cold items a non issue. Enough cooking gear to make it work, the basics. AC works great! Gave the rental 5 stars, because essentially, it had everything we needed. There are some small upkeep items that need addressed, dryer handle broken, upstairs gate latch falling apart, home is for sale, maybe a contributor. Master bath shower is amazing, looks like the most recent upgrade. Streaming services are available, some even signed in, and the WiFi strong enough for multiple devices with no issues. Overall, the stay was worth the $
