Overall we enjoyed our time there. Great location, and close to fun neighborhood and night life and not to far from beach/boardwalk. Although we liked the kitschy, funky vibe and fun colors, there were some minor issues with the amenities.
It could use a little TLC and the carpets need to be cleaned. The backyard needs to be updated, pruned and tended. It could be a highlight, but was disappointing. Also we did not know that one of the bedrooms was a pass through to the upstairs. Awkward!
The downstairs kitchen wasn't fully stocked for the number of people it sleeps. There weren't enough forks to serve everyone. There were a bunch of food items left behind from previous occupants which should be thrown away.
The kitchen utensils are inadequate. The place needs a better, larger, deeper skillet. The teflon on the one there was in poor condition. The large kitchen knife needs to be replaced immediately. It has large chunks taken out of it and is hard to use and impossible to sharpen.
The kitchen also needs a couple of half-sheet or 3/4 sheet baking pans. We had to use all the baking pans in the house to make croissants one morning.
