We spent friday/sunday at the property. 6 people slept comfortably and enjoyed the weekend and the area! We had zero complaints. Would consider renting again in the future!

Work group location
5 professional men sharing a work memorable housing experience. We watched football caught up on personal lives and shared meals in a relaxed house.
We cane to conneticut to vist out son who is in the navy. He was graduating B.E.S.S. so qe booke dto saty for 4 days.. and than my son gkt an extra day of liberty and they let us extend out stay for an extra day so we were abke to visit with him longer 😁
The house was exactly as soon in pictures.. it fit us perfectly. Very nice and cozy we felt as if we were at home. I have no comaints at all.. 👍👍
Indoor/outdoor carpet for living room stained
Mold in all the bathrooms
Contracted manager and they said they would contact the cleaning people…we bleached the bathrooms ourselves
Due to an inaccurate description on another rental site, my husband, his 93 yr old Mother and I needed a place to stay ASAP. We had some unique concerns about my Mother-in-law because she is only 4'10' tall, making very high beds and tub/shower combos a problem! This house was perfect! The walk-in shower stall in the master suite worked well for her. We found the beds to be extremely comfortable. We only used 2 of the 4 bedrooms, but they all seemed very nice. The living area was large and the kitchen was adequately equipped.
The drawback is that the bathrooms are woefully outdated. Classic early 80''s colored ceramic tile, some cracked, and leaking faucets. There have been minor repairs made. And thankfully my Mother-in-law is a very tiny person, otherwise she would have struggled to use the shower stall...extremely small!
4 stars due to the condition of the bathrooms...if you can overlook that, make it 5 stars!
The house is very clean and cool. It has plenty of room for a medium sized party. It is outdated style wise but perfectly fine overall. Beach was super close, nice 4-5 minute walk. We ran into someone who owned a home in the street right next to ocean and she told us a little of the history of those houses/ streets. Overall, it was a very nice vacation and 100% suitable house very close to the ocean. What more could you want? Owner was responsive and helpful. Maintenance guy was very friendly and courteous.
The stay was amazing, as it surpassed all of our expectations. The moment we arrived, everything sort of fell into place. We were a party of twelve ( family and friends). The renters communicated everything really well. Checking in was so smooth and easy. From begining to the end of our trip, there was no need to contact the renters for they made sure to equipped the house with pretty much everything. The house was beyond what was advertised, and it was perfect for our crew of 12. We felt as if we'd never left home. This was an amazing stay, as we were really impressed with the Linen closet full of towels, bed sheets, pillow cases etc. We weren't expecting to have these extra so, and everything was cleaned and well sanitized. I have a lot of picky travelers, and not one ha so anything remotely negative to say about this place. It was an amazing stay, we're already planning for a summer trip and would love to be lucky enough that this place will be available for that stay. Thank you for making our stay, all it could be.
This is a very large location. The space is very nice. The area around is also beautiful. I would HIGHLY suggest going for walks in the surrounding area.
The utensils are under the microwave. We didnt realize there were utensils until the last day.
The one knock, is the TVs are very old. They are not smart TVs. We wanted to play games on the downstairs TV but couldn't. Unless you bring a gaming system you can't watch any streaming services. We wanted to watch a show while it rained... but we couldn't. I would suggest mgmt either get a smartcast device or upgrade the TVs. It may seem small but there are a lot fun group activities where you need to smart cast.
Overall loved it. Online description said there was an ice maker and check out instructions said to put dishes in washer; we didn’t see one in kitchen. Some of the A/c vents need to be cleaned but overall place was clean and comfortable. Bathrooms could use updating but nice to have 3 of them. Loved short walk to beach and beach passes were nice.
Functional 4 bedroom with great location relative to Ocean Beach State Park with all the beach gear provided. A/C was great during a few really hot days. Would have loved to have a grill to BBQ out back. Would go back again.
Wonderful, clean home, perfect for a beach weekend!
We had a group of 8 people and a small dog visiting for a summer weekend. The property was perfect for a small group, with amazing organization for amenities that some places do not provide; including supplies for beach (less than 2 blocks away). The kitchen and dining areas were great for our needs, and the bedrooms and bathrooms were clean and well stocked. The event room (or the room of requirement as we called it) was great to have access to for any activities needed, from sleeping to playing games, or just another room to set up a table and chairs.
The owner was very responsive to all communication and worked to make sure that everything went smoothly. Check in and check out were no issues. The only time there was a problem was an unfortunate instance of the basic cable being out. However, the owner did everything in his power to fix the issue in a timely manner.
The neighborhood itself is beautiful. It is worth a simple walk to the waterfront to see the view at sunrise or sunset. The beach and boardwalk are great, with a large pool, mini golf, an arcade, and snack and cafes right on the water.
This was a wonderful vacation, and I would recommend this house to anyone with a similar sized group!
We were a family of 5 going to Mysitc. There was plenty of room, though comfortable seating for tv watching was limited to 5 people. If you have more than 5, the others will have to sit on the wooden dining room chairs. Having a keurig was great. One thing to note is that the bathroom off the master bath is super small. Everyone ended up using the other two bathrooms. One thing to be careful carpet tacks, particularly where the carpet is joined with the kitchen and especially on the stairs going down to the basement. One of our party ended up cutting the back of his heel. We figured out what the issue was - some of the carpet tacks weren’t hammered in all of the way. It was probably a fluke and would only happen if you set your heel down close to the back joint of the stairs but it is something to be mindful of.
All of us — 6 adults and 3 kids under 11 — enjoyed this property. We were only 2 blocks from the ocean beach gate. The A/C worked great! We appreciated having beach chairs and a wagon to bring things to the beach; and a hose right outside to wash off sand. Shampoo and body wash provided, but may be worth bringing loofahs as there weren’t many washcloths provided. Tips for others: the pull out couch in the basement has a really uncomfortable mattress, consider bringing a pad or comforter to pad it a bit. Also, an extra blanket would have helped get cozy in the cool basement bedroom. The house comes with some dishes and silverware; but we brought our own pan and spatula to make pancakes. The kitchen has a keurig; but you’ll need to bring the coffee pods and fresh sugar and creamer. We’d definitely stay here again!!! It was clean, comfortable, cozy, and convenient!

Had a wonderful trip
Fourteen of my friends and I rented this house in June and it was a great decision. The house was super clean and even closer to the beach than we expected. The owner was quick with responses and made our trip stress-free. We had a wonderful time at the beach using the beach passes that came with the house and the resturants around us were scenic and affordable. The security deposit was returned in less than 24 hours and we overall had an amazing stay.
