This place is noisy since it is on the main route that runs through Middletown Ear plugs were in the master bedroom so you would not hear the traffic. That was one of the chief drawbacks to this place. Also the place had no grill to allow us to barbecue which many places did not have. The new air conditioning units helped to cool the place but one bedroom had only a fan to cool that room. It is within walking distance to first beach which is great since it eliminates the parking fees for the lot which are pretty steep on weekend. It does not have a backyard at all so anyone with children must find other places to play after a day on the beach. It was convenient to have some chairs for the terrace but they are not really suitable for the beach as Kyle had suggested. Since they were three adults traveling, you must bring your own chairs for the beach. Again there was no outdoor shower so much of the sand is tracked into the main area no matter how one tries to prevent it from happening. The washer is great to have but it not powerful enough to do a good job and remains only an apartment size at best.
