The location was great and the views over the nature preserve are outstanding. Very close to nearby beach access and the Sea Isle community. Our son was able to take his kayak to the boat ramp and kayak through the canals. The fenced in yard was a great place for the kids to unwind after long beach days. And the AC...perfectly cool around the clock. All communications with the owner went as smooth as possible. Would definitely recommend this listing and we look forward to booking again ##### Jason B.

This trip was planned for Father's Day/Birthday celebration with our teens and pets. The location was chosen because of its proximity to some family who live around the corner. We could not have been more pleased! We have stayed in many vacation homes and this was one of the best! The hospitality (welcome basket, stocked toiletries, and extra bedding) of the hosts was exceptional - they even made sure we had dog bowls for the pup! The house was cool, comfy, and pleasantly arranged for comfort. There is huge side yard where our pup could play and stalk the bunnies in the back! The front of the house directly faces the canal and it's a 2 block walk (and cross the road) to the beach! Truly one of the most pleasant VRBO/rental experiences! Thank you, Anthony! We will see you again! ##### Brande M.
