It was lovely! We spent most of our time out and about - it's a few blocks from the beach, the boardwalk, lots of live music, good food - and it was the perfect cozy spot to come back to. (Too hot for sun? let's read our books on the porch!)
We brought our bicycles and had no problems leaving them in the yard, and that was a great way to get around as well. A wonderful "escape" without even leaving the city.
