Jennifer's place is amazing. I'll start with the small things:
- Quick, secure check-in. Instructions were clear, concise, and easy.
- Well lit house, both with natural light during the day, and the house lighting in the evening. And many of the lights have dimmer switches for evening ambiance!
- Very well-stocked kitchen supplies. We were able to make dinner at home with no problems, and there were even tupperware containers for us to borrow when packing sandwiches for our daytime outings!
- Plenty of dish towels, hand towels, bath towels, paper towels, wash cloths, etc.
- There was a small table fan and a box fan for those of you who need white noise to sleep or when it gets warm and you want some air circulation. We used one in each room at night.
- There was a nightlight for use if you need it. We plugged it in for the kids so they could see their way to the bathroom at night.
- A cabinet stocked with some kids toys, pens & markers, puzzles, and kids books. Our 4-year-old played with the playdough and we read a story each night from the small collection of books (we forgot to bring bedtime books).
- A small dresser in the second bedroom, and under-bed drawers in the master bedroom for those who like to unpack.
- A little mat to put your shoes on when you take them off as you walk in, and a coat rack just above it to hang your sweatshirts and jackets.
- Plenty of seating. A comfortable couch, very comfortable side chair, extra chairs, bar stools at the counter, great little dining area, chairs out front to sit and enjoy the grassy lawn while your kids play catch, and table and chairs out back to enjoy mid afternoon sun (or open the umbrella if you don't like sun) with a little more privacy.
- Easy, fast WiFi that will stay connected everywhere on the property and all the way out to the street.
- A step stool in the bathroom. I know this sounds really small, but one of my kids is still too short to reach the faucet handles, so having the stool in their really made a difference.
- Jennifer was awesome and sent a quick message after our check-in time to make sure everything was okay and that we hadn't had any problems getting settled.
And some bigger things:
- Cute house with very nice hard wood floors, nice cabinetry, deep double kitchen sink, gas stove, quality modern appliances. The owners have put a lot of effort into maintenance and upkeep, and it shows.
- The entire house was incredibly clean, including every aspect of the bathroom.
- No bugs! This may sound silly, but I've stayed in some places with unfortunate ant problems, and this absolutely not the case at Jennifer's.
- The feel of privacy, with trees screening the fenced in front yard from the street, but with restaurants and stores literally just around the corner, and a nice beach just a short walk away! Seriously, my two young kids made the walk to the beach with no complaints.
- Such a great location! It feels somewhat away from the hustle and bustle of downtown, but the Boardwalk, beaches, and shopping districts are only a few minutes in any direction.
- Excellent bathroom. Tiled shower, tile floors, and very clean.
- Comfortable beds. Even the kids said they were comfortable.
Jennifer's place was amazing to walk into and hard to leave. You can feel the care that was put into the home, and as a result, we felt very cared for as visitors. I highly recommend staying here and would definitely stay again.
