Unfortunately there were a few problems. The master bath shower was unusable due to a bad shower head. Also you couldn’t make use of the very nice deck during the day since the umbrella was broken. The open shed on the deck was loaded with junk that was easily visible. The front yard had foot tall weeds. ##### Scott Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Amanda Aug 11, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Clean, comfortable, incredible stay! ##### Amanda Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kyle G.

Dressers in the bed rooms would help greatly. There should be extra garbage cans like in the bathrooms too. More of a variety needed with plates and bowls, etc. I needed to purchase a colander for our pasta. Finally, some more cups or glasses would also hit the spot. The beds we’re very comfortable and the deck makes the property. A great little place! ##### Steve S. Stayed 5 nights in May 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Sue P.

Hodge podge of plastic dishes, bedding and towels. Drank my glass of wine out of a dixie cup. Had to unload the dishwasher when we got there and search for a hand towel. Not exactly what I thought I was paying for. Poor/no communication (only the code to get in). Great deck with cheap furniture. Could really be classed up some! ##### Sue P.

Aug 5, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Here And There The huge fenced deck had ample seating. The kids loved playing there. We (7 of us) ate at the big table inside. Saw a grill outside, but the propane was empty, a piece was broken and the grates were grimy. Found 2 beach chairs in the shed and used them on LBI, about a 10-minute drive. The amount of dishes, flatware and drinkware was minimal and mostly plastic. Cookware and utensils were OK, but no mixing bowl. We used our own paper plates and cups; the dishwasher left dishes clean but wet, even on heated dry. Keurig included coffee pods. Very nice clothes washer/dryer, all electronic. Found detergents, cleaning products and paper towels/napkins, but only one dish towel, 2 dish sponges, no dishcloth. Needed a kitchen garbage can that would stay shut. Plastic bags provided. Bedrooms were sparsely furnished, but with linens, pillows, blankets and beach towels in one closet. Other closets held a vacuum, iron etc. but were too full for hanging our clothes. A/C worked, as cold as desired. One of us said her mattress was best ever! Bathrooms had soap, towels (no washcloths). NO toilet paper except one nearly empty roll. We had our own, luckily. House needs better lighting; it’s quite gloomy inside at night. Wi-fi worked fine. TV was good, had apps and casting capability. ##### Daniela G. M.

House was not in very good condition; it smelled of cigarette smoke, a/c wasn’t working well, kitchen was not very well equipped, bedrooms did not have any dressers for clothing. The area was lovely, the lagoon was pleasant. Again, we only spent a few days so it was bearable but would not want to have the place for a week. ##### Antoinette S.
