The hosts truly define the “super” in the term superhost! I couldn’t have asked for more kind, responsive or thoughtful hosts. The home was sparkling clean. When they say you don’t need to bring anything but your bathing suit this is absolutely true. Tons of beach towels, beach equipment and all I could need in house needs were available for all our activities. We even had a nice touch to greet us - fresh wood ready to go in the outside fireplace and a basket of s’mores ingredients waiting for us to relax and have fun after a day on the beach!! So much fun upon entry! I felt very much that I, my 8yr old and two pups were welcome. The kitchen and linens are well stocked and I had all utensils needed for cooking meals. The house is super cute! The fenced in yard and patio area was very peaceful and beautiful. Even better than the photos. I would definitely stay here again. The only drawback was unrelated to the home itself but in the proximity to the boardwalk which was our primary venue. It is indeed the eight blocks advertised but it also involved walking on a very busy and windy road without a sidewalk, down train tracks, across rivers and bridges and scaling and jumping a wall to get there. It was about a 30-40 min adventure which I hadn’t anticipated. The second day we just drove there and did the paid parking instead and it was much more enjoyable. For a standard beach venue there is a fantastic beach with sandwich shops and a market just at the end of the street, a safe and short walk. Leashed dogs are allowed on this beach. We had a great time and enjoyed this lovely beach house. Thank you Kim and Pam!
