It was clean and accommodated all 5 of us. We had 1 issue that was quickly handled by the property manager. Highly recommend!! ##### Debbie S. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ed R. 13 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Mother’s Day weekend Enjoyed our stay at this very clean unit. It was close to restaurants and shops so we could walk to most. The only issue was parking for more than one car. The neighboring lot was $180 for the night. You could pay and park on street but would have to be out at car at 6am to pay the day. ##### Ed R. Stayed 1 night in May 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Judith B. 6 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, location Disliked: Check-in #### Mostly Good For the most part, our stay was good. Location was great and the unit was generally as expected. Kids loved the pool and very accessible to the beach and boardwalk shops and restaurants. There were a few issues, however, that caused some annoyance and mild disruptions to our stay--the host was reasonably responsive to deal with these but of course would have been nicer if we didn't have to deal with them at all. Our checkin time was delayed due to maintenance on the refrigerator, the living room ceiling fan was stuck on all the time due to a non-functional remote, and the internet intermittently went out for the first few days and this had to be fixed during our stay. The electronic code lock on the front door was internet-based, so when the wifi went down we were unexpectedly locked out of the apartment for about an hour while the host worked on fixing it. Also not very many dishes available for cooking and many of these were dirty when we arrived. Once these issues got fixed within the first few days, the stay was pleasant and enjoyable. Price and location were good value for money, but the disruptions detracted from our overall impression. 3.5 out of 5 stars. ##### Judith B. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bonnie 11 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Was very nice. But vrbo was sloppy in sending the notifications of the rental. Had to call when we arrived ##### Bonnie Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stef C. 26 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Best location ##### Stef C.
