The apartment has all the essentials (BYO linen), is just a couple blocks away from the beach and is on the same block as some of our favorite OCNJ places. It’s pet-friendly, which was a real bonus. It’s no frills, but is real value for money. Thank you! ##### Elizabeth G. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ivy J. Sep 28, 2018 #### The house was great, good location. Especially great that we could bring our dog This house was great. We really liked the front porch with plenty of room and chairs for us to hang out. Russ was accessible and easy to deal with. The house was clean and we had plenty of room for the 8 adults, 2 babies, and of course, our beautiful dog. The location was good- close enough to ride bikes and walk on the boardwalk as well as only a couple of blocks from the grocery store. We really liked that we could bring our dog. ##### Ivy J.

Aug 8, 2023 Liked: Check-in, location Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy #### Not what we were expecting For starters, the entry gate to the 2nd floor front porch was broken and missing the latch. Not great when you have your dog and a 2 y/o with you that could easily open the gate and fall down the stairs. 7 out of the 9 porch chairs were broken and unusable. The inside looked like it hadn't been remodeled since the 60's. Doors were very old and would not close properly. Living Room 'couches' seemed as old as the house, not worth sitting on even for 2 minutes. Each queen BR did not have a TV as advertised, only 1. WiFi was sketchy at best. Not what we were expecting! ##### Mary R. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Megan P. Jul 23, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect location We had a wonderful week with our whole family (including our elderly pup)! The rental is the 3rd and 4th floors of an older house, with a huge, partially covered porch on the second floor (from which you enter unit, into a small foyer/landing, before climbing stairs to bedroom areas on 3rd floor.) We walked a lot, enjoying the beach, boardwalk, downtown, and even a trek over the 9th St bridge! Loved the convenience and neighborhood. We found the unit to be in good order and pretty clean. It's an old house converted into several units, with fresh paint, comfortable beds and sofas/futons, and newer covers/pillows throughout. The longer-term renters on 1st and 2nd floors were friendly and helpful. We were able to use the washer/dryer easily. Our older dog struggled with the steps a bit (there are many, and they are painted wood, so a bit slippery for his old guy paws), but we just leashed him at the top and helped him navigate slowly and cautiously! There are breaks between floors and the humans were easily able to manage, lol. The outside shower and hose were not working, but we loved the unit and will return. Grateful to be able to bring our pup along! Reminded me of college days, with the funky, converted old house. :) A supplies/packing note (as of 7/24): no dishwasher; small microwave; few forks (but plenty of other kitchenware/pots/utensils); kitchen towels provided; some hand soap, dish soap, and bath products provided; salt/pepper there, and we left some spices. ##### Megan P.

Aug 11, 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Cleanliness #### Fine option for a secondary house, but a bit lower quality This house worked out for our family as a place to sleep, as we had another house as well where we could spend most of our time. The house itself is fine, I don’t see how it could fit more than 10 people max, but for a small group it does the job. The owner responded very quickly to an issue we had with the outdoor shower, which was appreciated. That said, there are a few issues with the house: both indoor showers are moldy, the outdoor shower is broken and is now just a hose, there is dust everywhere, and the beds are not comfortable. There is a nice large porch, but the floor is soft and broken in a few places, and there are a lot of stairs inside which is hard to tell from the pictures. As mentioned it worked fine for us as our second, smaller house, and the location is great, but just know that the quality will be a bit lower than the average shore house. ##### Amy H.

There are a bit of steps to climb! You enter on the 2nd floor, bedrooms on the 3rd floor and kitchen/living room on the 4th floor. You do need to bring all of your own supplies - down to cups, mugs, dish soap, towels, sheets, etc. but the location was great - wonderful deck to hang out on that overlooks Asbury. ##### maggie k.

Si vous pensez y séjourner plus que 7 personnes je vois mal comment ça peut être possible à moin d’être assez téméraire pour dormir sur un de ces futons sentant les animaux mouillés . 2 tasses , aucun verre , une pile d’assiette dépareillée et un tas de chaudrons sales seront à votre disposition!

This house claimed to sleep 14…. It def didn’t.. the communication was poor and the house ( we were top floor) seemed to be neglected.. unkept.. the deck had furniture that was falling apart or broken … the laundry room was disgusting “ shared” and dirty.. the neighbors and other renters nearbye couldn’t of been nicer but the long term renter outback plays music 24/7 it’s great music and they were very nice people.. but the music was so loud at all times of the day.. 3-4 in am is not respectful… it’s a pet friendly house we ended up not taking our pets for other reasons but honestly to many steps for pups on a daily basis.. ( hardwood floors ) two floors of steps before main level.. but more steps to get to kitchen … I always say your company makes the vacation .. and it honestly does.. the house was just a disappointment..I wouldn’t recommend this house for families.. ##### Maria/andy S.

I also really appreciate that he worked with us to allow an early check-in given that we had a wedding at the time of the listed check-in. The house was perfect for us and very tidy. It would be helpful to have some coffee filters in the kitchen. We brought our own, but didn't know what size the coffee machine would be. It would also be helpful to state in the description of the house that guests will provide their own linens. ##### Michael D. Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2018 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Madeleine S. Sep 17, 2018 #### Not Clean I was really disappointed walking into the rental. I did not realize how many steps there were to get to the front door. Then there was a whole flight to get to the bedrooms and then another flight to get to the kitchen and sitting area. As soon as I walked into the home it smelled like dog pee and it was on every floor. It looked like no one swept or vacuumed the home or steps as there was dog hair on every step. Lastly the bathrooms had mold on the shower curtains and ceiling, even one of the bedrooms had mold on the curtain. The futons were stained and I had to buy blankets to cover them up in order to sit on them. We made the best of the week but I would not spend the money to stay here. ##### Madeleine S.

Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2018 ### 6/10 Okay #### Pamela S. Aug 10, 2018 #### Good, but some things needed repair or attention. It's a good price for the location and condition, and I love that I can bring my pet. However, I was surprised when I arrived that Russ told me the outdoor shower wasn't working due to the harsh winter. We rented second week in July, and felt this should have been fixed and in working order prior to our rental week. When I requested it to be repaired, he seemed put out. Fixed by middle of the week. You also must love climbing steps, I mean, really LOVE steps. You climb a flight of steps just to get to the entry door where once through, are met by a weird landing/storage area. Climb another flight of steps to the bedrooms and first shower. Then another flight of steps to the kitchen, living room. If you've been working towards those buns of steel, rent this house. Also on the punch list of repairs or things that need attention: 1. kitchen cabinet doors don't close all the way. Not a biggie, but we didn't put things in it. 2. grill on deck needs a grease catcher. The grease literally spills everywhere when using it. Maybe bring an empty coffee can during your stay if you plan on using the grill. 3. sign on washer and dryer clearly marks that only renters using the 4 bed, 2 bath unit are permitted to use the designated machines, yet the other resident tenants used ours anyway. It was irritating. 4. the refrigerator and freezer didn't get that cold even after adjusting the thermostats. There is a piece of particle board painted white in the freezer used as a shelf. lol 5. wasn't clear on how to get cable in one of the bedrooms to work. We figured it out after asking instructions from Russ. Make sure you talk to him before trying to figure it out yourself. 6. no smoke detectors. None. wth? 7. It needs a good cleaning. We noticed a lot dust and dirt throughout the house. 8. It's not a bad place, but don't expect it to be the nicest place on the street. Needs some curb appeal. 9. The kitchen inventory of available kitchen cups, plates and utensils is lacking. If you plan on more than 4 people staying, bring paper cups and plates and forks, spoons and knives. 10. Not much closet space anywhere. Not a big deal if you're only staying a week, but pack light. Hope that list helps. ##### Pamela S. ### 8/10 Good #### Ricque P. Jun 8, 2018 #### Had a great weekend!

Oct 11, 2017 #### OCNJ Weekend 2017 The location was excellent! My family and I went to Ocean City for the Indian Summer/Fall Festival. I just had to walk out the door and start shopping. I would consider going back at another time. In constant contact with Russ, the owner, with any problem that arose. ##### Trish W. Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2017
