The house was perfect for our short shore getaway. We had a soccer tournament close by on Gracetown Road, amd was less than 10 minutes from the house! The house was super clean, nicely decorated, and the AC worked great (there was bit of a hot spell while we were there). There is an additional in-room AC unit in one of the bedrooms upstairs, which helped out a lot. There were fans in each room, helping circulate the air throughout the upstairs. The house is located directly on Rt. 9, and the speed limit in front of the house is 50 mph...so the first time driving to the house, we whizzed right by going too fast - that was totally our fault. Each time after that, we were able to recognize the house's mailbox and driveway with no problem. This was also my first rental bringing our own linens, and Tom was great about setting that expectation up front, as well as suggesting some linen rental companies. In the end, we brought all of the sheets and towels with us in a large duffle - which was really no big deal. The kitchen had all the basic necessities and was great for making breakfast in the morning and sandwiches for the beach and soccer tournament. There is no ice maker, but there were plenty of ice trays we used to make ice. We drove to both Avalon Beach and Sea Isle City Beach - both are close by. The nice thing about going to Sea Isle City is the house comes with both beach tags and a parking pass! That came in really handy, and saved us from buying tags.
