We most definitely enjoyed staying in the house. Location was wonderful cause it was so close to the beach. Very pleasantly surprised to see that there was so many beds in the house. I guess I missed that when I was reading description. And upon arriving, we saw our first sight out of the ocean, which was a couple of orcas, which was amazing. I would definitely recommend this house and I would definitely come back again. I would recommend looking into a new barbecue as it did not light like it should. But other than that, everything was great thank you for our stay.

Excellent Family Beach Vacation

We visited the local attractions (boardwalk, Roaring Camp, aquarium) and spent most of the time enjoying the beach. The host was supportive of all needs, there were ample towels, and the home is wonderful.

Beautiful Location & View

Our family of 8 (2 kids) loved this beach house. We are active, and we loved being right across the street from the ocean. The house is dated, but it had nearly everything that we needed and no one complained. One suggestion would be to replace the bunk beds and twin bed in bedroom #3 with a larger bed that a couple could sleep in comfortably. Don't miss going to Marianne's Ice Cream while you're there. We will definitely return.

Renters Be Ware

The dishwasher door is broken and every time I opened the dish washer it fell down. Every dish, pot, pan or silverware I used had to be rewashed. The kitchen tabletop is warped. Table lamp in living room had no plug to use it. Furnishing are OUTDATED AND WORN. Master nightstand drawer opens crooked. not one box of Kleenex in the entire house! I paid a cleaning fee and there was a sign to wash the downstairs bedding. Renter must clean the fireplace and grill, but no tools to do so were left. cheapest bath products are offered. Hair conditioner is so thick and gummy that it would not come out of the dispenser I will not return, and I will spread the word about THIS RENTAL BEING A COMPLETE DISASTER.

great property

This was an amazing home on the beach. Big house with lots of beds which were very comfortable. Perfect for my daughter's 16th birthday weekend. The teenage girls loved the cubbie beds! Walkable to Rio Del Mar with cafe, deli and restaurant. Out door deck was relaxing and had a beautiful view. Grill was great. Master bedroom is big and private with its own balcony. It is an older, charming home. We all loved it. Just bring your own food storage things like tupperware and plastic bags if you need them. Can't wait to come back here!
