Aug 20, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location Pros: close to beach, close to boardwalk, clean for the most part, good AC, lots of TV’s, fast wifi, washer and dryer, kitchen was NICE! Beds were very comfortable. Cons: needs curtains in the bedrooms (too bright in the morning), the shower floor was gross (mold), low water pressure in showers, one bedroom is more of a hall with no privacy. Construction next door was so loud at 6:30 am every day except Sunday, no yard or grass to take a pet out to use, floors felt like you would fall through in a few places. ANTS, I left a soda on the dresser and went and showered and came back to a line of ants, noticed them wandering all over the house. Not a bad little house, would have been worth the money with a few fixes. ##### Melissa M. Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### David S. Sep 5, 2025 ##### David S.
