Wonderful beach house with lots of space and all the creature comforts you'd expect (internet, TV w/ streaming services, full kitchen, laundry). Our trip was not a beach vacation but the house came with lots of beach equipment, plus an outdoor shower area. The king beds were very comfortable and the house was walking distance to new(ish) Linden Square downtown (10 mins). It also had 4 bikes, which was a nice touch. Would definitely come back!

We loved staying in a small town for a month with access to everything. This beach house had everything you need and way more! Wonderful for dogs and easy to keep clean. It was clean and tidy and had every amenity we could want. We made great use of the bicycles. For us coming from the mountains, the train was fun for a couple of weeks and then felt loud to us. But overall, it added to the vibe of being close to the coast.Thank you for opening your home to us.

The second-story porch is wonderful with sunset views and lovely peeks of the ocean. We also enjoyed the mountain views from the living room (upstairs as well). The kitchen is big and very well stocked. Both upstairs bedrooms are large and airy with comfortable beds. We stayed a month during the Christmas holiday, a rain storm and mostly lovely weather. Ruta is a great host and makes sure you are comfortable. We'd definitely stay again. Thanks, Ruta.

Ruta was an excellent host. Her home was spotless and comfortable. Lots of fun beachy decor. The upstairs is cozy and sunny and perfect for morning coffee and afternoon wine. There is a big refrigerator was very convenient. There are stairs up to the front door and two sets of stairs to the top floor where the living room and bedrooms and bath are located. Just a head's up if there are any mobility issues. It was nice having king size beds, although, I am a very firm mattress gal and my husband not so much. The bed was a bit soft for me, but perfect for him. But it was not a deal breaker by any sense. The train goes by pretty close to the back of the house, but we love hearing it. A few passenger trains throughout the day. We were there 4 nights and only one freight train came through during the day. If you have kids, they will love looking at the upstairs window and watching the train go by.
