We really enjoyed staying at this lovely home. The host responded immediately to my many questions. The third-floor suite was especially nice—great mattress, too. The clean kitchen was well stocked with cooking essentials, and my husband said the Weber grill worked great. The home is in a residential neighborhood, so we were surprised at the amount of traffic. At times it was quite noisy, even with the windows closed. The white noise machine provided for the upstairs bedroom didn't completely mask the traffic noise, but fortunately the portable white noise device I had brought with me did. Light sleepers might opt for one of the two downstairs bedrooms, which were quiet. Great location—walkable to the wharf, boardwalk, and beach.

Great location & house

This 3 bedroom/2 bath contemporary home is warm, cozy and nicely furnished. Kitchen has all the amenities, including a welcome snack basket, YUM! The bedrooms have good lighting, comfy beds and pillows. And the bathrooms are supplied with towels and supplies. Everything was very clean and usable. The location is near all attractions and easy to get to any restaurant or grocery store. The host provided timely information and responded quickly to any question. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would return again.

Beautiful property, furnishings and decor.

Very welcoming 3 story home with everything we needed including treats and a Nespresso machine. Weather was cold and windy so we didn’t get to enjoy the patio. Great location. Only negative was the inability to park more than one car on the property.
