Very good

The pictures on the ad are not the property. The rooms were much smaller with completely different furniture. I am pretty sure the pictures are of the upper unit and we were given the lower unit. The couch was a small loveseat with cigarette burns, in truth all the furniture was extremely worn with scratches and paint splatters. The walls and tiles had cracks and some small holes. The comforters on the bed at first glance appeared clean until we pulled back the blankets and found drawings made by sharpies and a gigantic bleach stain. The water pressure in the unit is also very poor and if anyone flushed or used water in either unit the faucets would only produce a trickle. I have video showing the apartment when we arrived and it is obvious that it is not the same as the pictures in the ad. We had however drove 10 hours with 2 young kids so I cleaned and we made the best of the situation. We had fun on our trip but mostly because we spent most of our time out.
Cute little house, I stayed in the bottom floor unit. Great location, 2 blocks from the beach, didn't have to drive and was able to walk to the beach every day. Lots of restaurants in walking distance as well as the boardwalk. The only downside was that when the people renting the 2nd floor unit came, it sounded like they were stomping around when I believe they were just walking from room to room. Also water pressure not so great. But other than those 2 things, great unit and enjoyed my stay! I brought my dog and there was a yard and cute neighborhood to walk her in.

Close to everything
This was truly a beach house that you didn’t have to worry about with 2 kids and 2 dogs. It wasn’t spotless and that was ok at the beach. It was located right in the middle of everything and walking to places was nice. The pictures on the listing didn’t match the actual house- maybe renovations had been made? Luckily it didn’t impact anything that we were expecting. The kitchen had everything we needed and when we had issues connecting to the WiFi, the owner was quick to respond. The grass was a bit long for the dogs so we went for walks. The street that the house was located on, was quiet and not much traffic. The floor near bathroom seemed to be sinking and I kept tripping on the floorboards that were higher than the others.

Nice Stay
The two best things about this rental:
1.) Proximity to the beach and restaurants. No need to worry about paying for parking because you can walk to both.
2.) It’s dog friendly. Our four legged companion was thrilled to vacay with us.
