The perfect place!

This condo was absolutely perfect for our needs and would be great for any couple looking for a beach weekend. Literally no complaints, the place had everything we could have needed to enjoy our short trip and was charming. Also, location can’t be beat - it is situated just away from the chaos of the main boardwalk area, but can get to that within a 4 minute drive when needed. Steps away from beach access. Really enjoyed having access to a pool too! Would definitely book again.

A quick getaway

My husband and I took our 13 year-old daughter and our four-year-old grandson for a couple days before school gets going back for us as teachers. The place we stayed was beautiful and it was so easy to get to the beach and drive down to the boardwalk for fun. We had a wonderful time even though it went by quickly. Everything in the house was beautiful and just as described. We hope to be back again sometime.

Fun Girls Weekend!

The location was awesome! Right across the street from the beach. The only issue we had was the futon in the living room. We used it as a bed and it was comfortable but it was a pain to put it back to a couch so we left it down. So no couch. The property was exceptionally clean!

Spring Break

My daughter and grands enjoyed a lovely stay here. Everything was perfect and clean - the bed and futon were so comfortable. We were just minutes from the beach. It was nice the way the bathrooms were conjoined. And, it as nice having the coffee and tea provided. So thoughtful! Would definitely stay here again if there were just the 4 of us. You won’t be disappointed should you choose to stay here.
