We absolutely loved our stay here! The location was great, short walk to the beach on the boardwalk. It was really nice to be close to the pool with kids and the barbecue pit was right outside the unit. The kitchen was well equipped and the bedrooms were a great size. One of my favorite features was the number of hooks in the bathrooms and outside. I know it sounds silly, but it's so handy with so many swimsuits and towels to hang! My one complaint was the wifi. We ended up taking our phones off of it cause it was so slow ##### Rebecca C.
