The home and area was clean and seemed safe. The kids and I appreciated we were not on the main boardwalk, and when you step out of the front door, you can see the beach. I would love to stay there again. ##### Agnes C. Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jacob R. 26 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great place and location. Seems to be harder to find homes on the beach front that aren’t massive. This was the perfect place. I am used to staying down further from the pier about 42nd street. But I am now sold on being closer to the stores and restaurants. This house had everything we needed. Will be coming back. ##### Jacob R. Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 30 Sept 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Unbeatable location, great beach amenities in great condition (chairs, umbrellas, towels, boogie boards, etc.), and a garage! You are like 40 feet from one of the best beaches. Owners obviously take great care of this cottage. Walkable to several shops and restaurants, and close to the pier too. Once you park, you'll probably not need your car again - we didn't. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Daniel Z. 23 Oct 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Much needed visit W COVID I haven’t seen my children and grandchildren for 10 months. So I secured this ideal location for us. Most live close so only a couple stayed but when all were here the house was great. ##### Daniel Z. Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### George S. 6 Apr 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Love time at the beach The location is great. The listing is totally accurate. Look at the pictures. This a cute little cottage that is just steps from the beach. We took walks along the beach to the pier. We walked to local restaurants and had a great time. The bathroom is small like the one I grew up with - no just a sink, tub and toilet and a little bit of storage. The wi-fi worked well. ##### George S. Stayed 9 nights in Feb 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Justin V., Hemet, Ca 22 May 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Just bring you... This house was absolutely wonderful. They have spared no expense making sure that anything you could need for a nice beach getaway is already there. From towels and beach toys to perfect spaces to lay your head. Everything was wonderful and clean. Can't wait to make this a yearly trip and hopefully even longer next time. Thank you Matt for the wonderful experience. Also loved all the family history in the home. Made it feel even more cozy. ##### Justin V.
