The unit is cleaned with IN-CIDE. This product is used in hospitals, nursing homes, schools, hotels, motels, institutional, industrial, restaurants, food handling and processing areas, USDA inspected food processing facilities. Three bedroom 2 full bath historical beach bungalow. Built in 1927 our home is safe , comfortable, and family friendly. Walk across the street to the beach, up one block to the lake, or to the boardwalk. Watch spectacular fireworks from our home on Thursday nights during the summer, or take a blanket across the street to the beach to watch them. Keep the blanket handy because you will need it for the free family movie at the lake every Sunday evening starting when the sun goes down!

Jun 24, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wonderful Wonderful Weekend We had a girls weekend away to celebrate my daughters 10th Birthday and had THE best time! The location was ideal! Beach access was soooo close! Gas station half a block away. Two restaurants a block away. It was perfect! Even on a rainy evening the cover porch was great to rock awhile and wait for the storm to pass. The table inside was the best for playing games! We cannot wait to book again! ##### Sarah R. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2021 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Joseph P. Jun 12, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, location Disliked: Check-in, listing accuracy #### Poor Management We didn't check in until 9PM! They said their cleaner hasn't come yet. We tried to get a different place to stay, but an hour and half on the phone didn't help. We love the area, but long story short book a different place. I do not like VRBO either. ##### Joseph P. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sarah L.

Aug 9, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great house close to the veaxh Beautiful historic home. Ocean view from front bedroom upstairs. 2 minute walk to the ocean. Upstairs shower and parking is tight, but most beach houses are. Great spot for a family getaway. ##### Andrew S. Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### Aaron F. Jul 5, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Historic 1925 Home The rooms are much nicer in person than in the photographs online. The beach is steps away and so are the lake, several gas stations, and restaurants. The owner was friendly and made sure everything was ready for our stay. Being Fourth of July week, the road in front of the home was busy. Overall, we had a great time. ##### Aaron F. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### george t.
