The house is ideally located close enough to Flagler to walk to restaurants and attractions but just far enough away from the z a heavier beach crowds that gather near Flagler Ave. The home is comfortable and has plenty of space to spread out. The beach is just a few steps off the porch. The porch was great for hanging out with the family enjoying the sea breeze and listening ocean surf. We look forward to coming back. ##### John C. Stayed 7 nights in May 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Valerie S. 16 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great location but needs some care This home was attractive with comfortable beds and good-sized rooms. The location is great, very close to the sand. My family of 13 with three generations stayed for a week. While images are representative, they don't tell the entire story; this home is roomy but really needs basic maintenance and care. It very much looks like a rental property with a minimal amount of money invested in upkeep. There are two flights of stairs in the property, which can be difficult for those of limited mobility, but there are also several random steps around that cause tripping - some are a few inches tall and some are regular step height. We had a few in our party fall and several almost fall; because the floor is all the same color with no contrast on the steps, it is difficult to distinguish a single step in various areas. We put brightly colored removable painter's tape on the steps all over the house that really helped to see where the edges were. The furniture in most of the rooms is minimal quality and doesn't always fit what you might want to store in it, and there are not many hangers in the few closets available (the primary "wardrobe" only had 4 plastic hangers, which we supplemented with a package we bought). The only shade on the patio is a table umbrella and a portable canopy with one leg broken. Our family had a great time there, but I wouldn't rent this property again. If a little money was invested to spruce up the property it would be much more comfortable and inviting. ##### Valerie S.

Right on the beach, house is great size with a space downstairs for the teens to hang out. The kitchen has everything we needed. The house is a little older, but in good shape inside. We hope to visit again! ##### Melanie R. Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Rebecca W. 19 Jul 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy The location and parking were great. It was close to shopping and restaurants. The house was adequately stocked with dishes and linens. There were a few areas of the house that could have been cleaner but overall it was acceptable. The whole family enjoyed our vacation in NSB. ##### Rebecca W.
