Enjoyed our stay

Thoroughly enjoyed our off-season stay. Didn't quite plan for 6-8” of snow, but certainly stayed very comfortable. Home is well-equipped. Great views. Easy access to the beach and boardwalk along the lagoon.

Great place

This place is nicely updated. It has a large yard and feels more private than a lot of other rentals in the area. Great place for staying with your dog to have to have room to roam. Very clean
