Communication with the host was seamless. This house truly is charming, and beyond that, it provided a perfect spot for for us- 3 adults and 2 children- to rest, relax, and launch our adventures. Everything is "just right" here; the beds are really comfortable, there were plenty of fresh linens and extra towels, the kitchen was well stocked, there are drawers and closets for unpacking into, there is ample room for everyone, comfy seating, great flow throughout the home. The decor is really well balanced- simple stylish and modern mixing with the older charm of the home. The house is really CLEAN which is of course a huge plus. You can tell that the hosts have put a lot of well guided effort towards making their guests feel welcomed. There was a shed outside with bikes and beach toys which were great to use on the beaches which you can access in either direction walking from the house. The house is in a very cute neighborhood which is quaint and secluded feeling even though it is mere blocks from the boardwalk beach area. If you walk in the other direction, you get to the slightly less chaotic, beautiful Lighthouse beach area. In short, this house is a winner and we had a great time staying here.
