I am 60 years old and have spent at least a weekend every summer for 55 of those years in Seaside Heights or Seaside Park. Without a doubt, hands down, this property was the cleanest, best maintained, best stocked place I've stayed in at the Jersey Shore. When I was a kid, where we stayed was unimportant as long as we were close to the beach and the boardwalk. But housing, at least the places my folks rented were a bit rough, more bungalow than well appointed home. As I've aged, comfort has become more important but when going to the shore, I still have the mind set that I'm not going there looking for sophisticated, elegance in housing. Iyvalo's home, the main floor front apartment was gutted and renovated last year (as were the other rentals, though I didn't see them myself) and both the newness and quality of the construction was evident wherever one looked. Beyond that, the interior design was lovely, one might call it Jersey Shore Chic. The walls were painted in soothing, sophisticated shades of grey, the floors done in a high quality laminate so that whatever sand that doesn't wash off in the outdoor shower, is easily swept up. Nor were the floors scratched by the nails of our happy, active 90 pound dog. Upon arrival, the place was not just clean, but so clean that my wife didn't feel the need to wash the drawers in the bedroom dressers or clean the refrigerator and counter top before unpacking. Truly, the place sparkled. Usually on shore vacations we pack the car full of bedding. Not needed here. Towels, Iyvalo supplies thick, spa-like towels. He even called me mid-week to ask if we wanted to trade our used towels for a fresh set !! Other than your favorite spices and foods, you need to bring nothing for the kitchen. There is one full bathroom and yes, a bathtub for soaking older bones. There's a great outdoor area with swings and assorted toys and gas fired grills, one for each apartment and Iyvalo keeps them in spotless condition. There is free wifi and the owner Iyvalo lives on the property. I found Iyvalo to be welcoming and easy to contact. He responded quickly and seemed happy to be helpful with information and when asked, suggestions. I look forward to making this my summer home rental for years to come. 2 small issues to consider. If walking is an issue, it is 3 blocks to the ocean, a block and a half to the bay. The street's configuration is a bit odd but easily navigated after practice. This is truly a great place to stay.
