The location of this property is phenomenal! If you want to walk to the beach, restaurants, boardwalk, shops, etc…. this is the location you want! Adorable cottage is just as the listing describes. My husband and I enjoyed our time with our daughter and 6yo grandson. He keeps asking when we can go back to the little purple house! Communications with the host were quick and pleasant.

Great Beach Bungalow

House was great and exactly what we needed for a short beach getaway. Very close to the beach (only a block away). Parking was provided and nice (right in front of the house). The house was very clean and modern.

Second stay and I enjoyed it just as much as the first.

We stayed here before and enjoyed the location and the amenities. Jennifer made sure that I had the code to access that property and everything was clean as usual. We enjoyed our stay and hope to return again.

Great Location!

We really enjoyed our short spring break getaway. The house was walking distance to everything we needed, so we didn’t have to drive anywhere during our stay, which was especially nice. It had everything we needed as well. The cooking pans are old and need to be replaced, and the house could have been cleaned better. That is the only reason I am giving the house 4 stars instead of five. We will definitely stay here again.

Perfect getaway

We stayed in this cute little cottage for 4 nights. The house is exactly as described and feels much more spacious than the outside appears. The house was very clean, the check in and check out process were super easy. Keyless entry eliminated and issue with keeping up with keys. The owners are incredibly sweet and easy to deal with...and respond quickly to any inquiries. The location is perfect if you are the type to park your vehicle and not drive any more until its time to go home. Easy 1 block walk to the beach, multiple restaurants and bars within a 2 block radius. Our favorite restaurant by far was Havana...a must to check out. 10/10 and already planning for another trip!

Very comfortable stay; beautiful home; owners a joy

We greatly enjoyed the home vs hotel vacation option. The location of this home, centrally located and 1 block off the boardwalk, gets you within easy walking distance of shops, dining, and beach. The house is beautifully appointed and cozy comfy. We slept extremely well. For the first time in a very long time, we weren’t chomping at the bit to get back to our own bed. The washer & dryer is a convenience I’m not used to having on vacation. We can’t say enough about how much we enjoyed our stay and owner Jennifer is a joy to work with. Thank you for this wonderful vacation home.

Purple house

Great location! We stayed at this property last year and loved it so much we booked again! Kitchen was well stocked, we cooked a few meals at the house. Has a fenced in outside area that was great for our grandson to be able to play outside with worrying about traffic, etc. It was also nice to be able to pull our wagon in with our beach things and just park it for the next beach outing. We walked to nearby restaurants, the Boardwalk, and the beach. The laundry facilities were very useful. The bedroom/bathroom layout of the house works well for us. Jennifer and Jeff were great hosts!

Wonderful Stay!

Our family of four absolutely loved our stay. The location is outstanding as it is just steps away from many of our favorite places to eat--coffee, ice cream, sushi, breakfast, and more all within a super quick walk. Great proximity to the beach. And the home itself is very comfortable. All of the beds were great and the divided living space made it easy for everyone to have their own space. The sofas were very comfortable which is often not true with many of the rentals we have had in the past. Parking was so convenient with two spaced directly in front of the house which made unloading and loading so easy. Lastly, Jennifer was VERY helpful, easy to wok with, and prompt in responding. We will definitely stay again.

Family trip

The house itself was great on the inside however if you are handicapped or have someone who is it's definitely not accessible for them. The front is a little to high especially for a short person. I fell going in the front door. My mom and Aunts had to go through the side of the house which wasn't much better especially with their walkers. The house is located in a great location. While we were there I was made to move my vehicle so they could change out the pole when I asked where I could park for free till they changed it out I was told I had to pay for parking.

We enjoyed the property. It was comfortable, cute, and affordable for a three bedroom. There’s no view from the house, but it was a short walk to the beach, the boardwalk, and some nice little restaurants. When we first got there, the hosts seemed a little disorganized. We didn’t initially receive the email with the door key code, so I had to contact the hosts. The instructions said to contact them if the email was not received a few days ahead of time, so it was my bad for not contacting them earlier. We went inside and it hadn’t been cleaned. However, the hosts were very apologetic for the key code and for the room not being cleaned. They had a cleaning lady there within about 15 minutes, so we went out to dinner and it was clean when we got back. The cleaning staff did a good job, so once that was all taken care of our weekend went exactly as planned. We don’t know why the room wasn’t ready, but the hosts handled it well and I would stay here again.
