Cozy beach cottage with a nice deck. My family stayed here and we enjoyed the location. The place was clean and the kitchen had everything we needed.

Disliked: Check-in, communication
Great location! And overall, the accommodations were nice too, aside from a couple small things, like the shower door didn't close all the way and the couch was not comfortable to sit on. The bed in the bedroom very comfortable though! Our favorite feature was the balcony. Very spacious! My only true complaint would be communication. I reached out to the property contact the day before we got there with questions about our check-in and luggage storage, but never received a response. We also never received the access code before arrival (as promised in the emailed instructions) and had to reach out a couple times to get it once we were on the island.
property was as advertised, pretty cozy, everything neat, organized, within walking distance to the boardwalk and was good to have Vons just a block over.
Very cute little maritime themed apartment. Only complain is the shower door does not seal, and one of the shades is broken, a few rattly fans that need replacing. Little stuff like that...but for the price and location I'd say it was a pretty good deal.
The family loved this place and the walk to the city center was not too long at all. VONS really close by for anything you need. The island will take care of the rest
This is a lovely unit! Close to everything. Very clean. The deck is beautiful. Grocery store on the next block. Communication with the host was fabulous. I wish we could have stayed longer. Thank you!

Comfortable, close to everything, but not too close.
My stay at this property was pleasant. The neighbors were very welcoming, assisting me with enjoying my time and seeing as much as I could in the time I was in their neighborhood. The local restaurants were within walking distance and dining was well received. All in all, this was a very good trip. Would definitely recommend.
Overall, we had a great stay! The house is on a quiet street but is still close to town. Everything worked well in the apartment except for the sliding door to the deck (it doesn’t lock). The main bed was really comfortable but the sofa bed wasn’t. We still really enjoyed the stay and would love to go back!
Decent place, good location that could use some improvements
An overall nice place in a good location. Things were a little run down: the patio door would not lock and we were not able to use the oven because it would set off the smoke alarm. Otherwise, a comfortable place to stay for the weekend.
This place was perfect for my little getaway. My family reunion was taking place on the island and I needed a little spot to retreat to for privacy and relaxation. It was very cute and had everything I needed.It even came with a friendly kitty who must live nearby. He was very sweet and made my whole trip. I will come back for sure!
Overall the stay was okay. The walls have stains and dirt marks all over and there is a chair in the bedroom covered in stains which was not appealing. Something else I found unappealing was the cigarettes left out on the patio and an old hotdog we found left on one of the grills. The furniture in the living room is very uncomfortable but there are smart TVs to watch in both rooms and the WiFi works well. The kitchen is very well stocked in my opinion and the bathroom was clean. The location is excellent!
Location is central, but not on a busy street. House is cute and interesting. The furniture was not the most comfortable. I wouldn't want to watch a whole movie from the couch. The fans in the house were broken, the shower door had been repaired in a way that prevented it from closing entirely. I think

Super squeaky floors throughout, bathroom sink has constant leak. Veronica was very nice. Neighbor had to say where the trash barrels were. Couch was very uncomfortable. Sliding door didn’t open and screen was broken.
