We would definitely stay longer. It is very spacious for a one-story beach condo. The listing is exactly as depicted and has everything you need. Great for a bigger family and kids. ##### Patrick K. Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Keary W. Jun 29, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Family Vacation!! The house is beautiful and comfortable with only a short walk to the beach. We were able to go out and walk on the beach every morning before breakfast, even with our doggie. The kitchen was well-equipped for cooking family meals and it was easy to order in food or drive to town when we did not cook. The drive to the Boardwalk was only about five minutes, but there was lots of parking. The property manager responded quickly when we had an issue. We enjoyed lots of family time in the large living space and there were enough rooms, all on the same level, for the adults including our grown children and the grandparents. My only suggestions would be to clean bathrooms a little more and include elevator access for older adults. We will probably rent this one again!! ##### Keary W.

It was great all the adults had their own bathroom. My 16 month old just started walking and enjoyed exploring the house. Short walk to the beach and pier made it a relaxing stay. Would definitely rent again. ##### Angela R. Stayed 4 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### KELLY P. Nov 14, 2024 ##### KELLY P.
