The host welcomed us with eggs from the chickens, fruit, snacks and a bottle of wine. The photos don't communicate how beautiful this home is with loving artful touches everywhere. The house is very comfortable with great bedding, a nice big bathtub, a lovely home layout and everything you need in the kitchen. The backyard is so fun with big shady trees and chickens and even an outdoor bathtub. There is a general vibe of art and home to the listing which is very welcoming. There is a even an indoor hammock in the bonus room which is very relaxing.

The location is perfect for us with a 5 or so minute drive to downtown & the boardwalk, West Side beaches and The Tannery / Pogonip / Costco area. Great freeway access, but also feels and is nicely nestled in a neighborhood. We also regularly walked downtown, about 15-20 minutes with a hill, a nice walk. We took neighborhood walks in the evening and felt very safe, great spot to walk and look at interesting yards and houses.

Easy parking, friendly communicative hosts, we love this place. There is also a well developed orientation binder to the house which I appreciated. Oh, and a bunch of musical instruments to play with, fun!

Note: There is some street noise on the front bedroom, so bring ear plugs for that. The master bedroom and bonus room off the master are very quiet though. The daughter in the family does come in the backyard about every other day to care for the chickens (I really enjoyed learning a ton about chicken care and coops from her).
