My family and I have been New Jersey beach people since my youth in the 1970's. My wife and I enjoyed taking our children there until these past couple of years when it became unaffordable, and quite frankly, elitist. We sought what I always enjoyed at the NJ shore which is a quiet and relaxing place, but one with options for some low key activities. We found that here in Avon, and specifically at the Salty Frog. The solitude of it all, the shops, the beach, and the restaurant options were all exactly what I want from a beach vacation. There was nothing to do here but completely chill out.Now, the Salty Frog and my check in experience certainly set the stage for my excellent experience. My family traveled 11 hours to arrive, and of course, going through my mind was "what if it's not what it appears to be?", "what if something goes wrong?". Well, this was alleviated during our drive when Mandy from Surf or Sound began her communication with me which was reassuring since she was going to ensure our happiness. Finally, our arrival at the Salty Frog was an experience that I have rarely had. The house was true to the pictures online, completely stocked (beyond our cooking, movie watching, and game playing capabilities), and the amenities were ample. In summary:Fantastic and quiet location - easy beach access.Fantastic house.Excellence provided by Surf or Sound.We will be back...
