"Room was great. I wish they would clean up the lobby. They use it as a storage space. Extra chairs, refrigerators, lamp shades, and the tv is never on. Can’t sit there and relax. Three days I went there in morning there was no coffee made or hot water for tea. Looks like counter space for snacks but it is cluttered. I love this little hotel but the lobby space has never been finished. 😞"

10/10 Excellent
"Great location! Not ocean view but just a short walk thru the park across the street and you’re there. The rental is not the entire house, unsure if there are others living in the other part of the house but it was still a decent amount of space for my family of 4. Also the boardwalk is just a 5min drive down. Host is great and responds fast. Would recommend!"
