The property is well represented and even better than expected. The layout of the home is perfect and there is plenty of space, my favorite spaces were the screened in porch and the fire pit in the back was a welcome surprise. The local area has plenty of shopping, restaurants and local beach and boardwalk was beautiful. Communication was perfect and all of our needs were met..

This home is decorated absolutely beautiful and extremely comfortable. Push button fireplace on the chilly nights, 4 porches to enjoy the outdoors and you can hear the church bells play beautiful hymns each day. The location was fantastic. We rode bikes to lunch one day and took the golf cart one morning to breakfast. Would definitely stay here again! ##### Deborah C. Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2022 ---
