About the host
Hosted by Bart and Tricia
I have vacationed at this house since I was a kid in the 60s. It was very different then - a 3 bedroom cottage my Grandparents owned. As a kid I would help them with repairs and rentals. Since then, I have completely renovated the first floor and built up with the 2nd floor.
Why they chose this property
We do a lot of work each year to keep it very well maintained, which is somewhat unusual for beach rentals and even hotels at the shore.
The house has a 'shore cottage' feel. It was a one-floor cottage until 2004 when we renovated it and added the 2nd floor. We intentionally kept the 1st floor true to the original cottage feel, except we updated it. And there are 2 rooms upstairs, facing the back yard. Therefore it is cozy, not massive.

What makes this property unique
I like to make sure people get what they expect when renting so here's a few thoughts:
This house is right for you if.... you value great location on a relatively quiet residential street, a short walk to the beach, close to town and boardwalk, easy street parking, big yard, screened porch + 2 decks out back, very well-maintained home with modest size rooms. Think of it with the analogy of 'a very well maintained Honda Accord' good value, dependable, upper-middle level. There's enough beds and rooms for the stated amount of people allowed - in bedrooms - not on the floor or on cots like some places.
This house is not right for you if....
- If you value tons of floor space for sleeping people on the floor and a place for a big party weekend, this probably isn't the best place for you.
- If you want a classic worn, older rental that you don't have to take care of, this isn't for you.
- If you want a huge McMansion with a 'Great Room and nothing but stainless steel Bosch appliances, granite tops, and daily maid service, this isn't for you. I reccomend The Southern Mansion B&B or a $10k rental.
The usual people that rent this home in the summer are 1-2 families, 8 or 9 people; often it is a family and Grandparents/In-Laws.
Hope that helps! :)
I know it isn't easy comparing houses to all so different and hard to tell how nice they are inside...I know because I check out other places to make sure our rates are fair.
