This property was perfect! Easy access to the beach and boardwalk area, and was perfectly equipped with all we needed to enjoy home cooked meals and a little ocean time. Checkout was simple and little was asked of us other than starting the dishwasher. Can’t wait to come back!

One block to the beach. Walkable to many restaurants, bars and shopping. Free parking is available on the street. Initially we thought parking might be difficult in such a popular area but we had no issues. We always found a nearby spot. This apartment had a portable AC unit. We did not need it much but it came in handy after a day in the sun. Nice place.
