The place was just as it looked in the photos! We loved the communal outdoor space - the other guests were very friendly and Carmen is just as wonderful as all of the other reviews have shared. I really appreciated how proactive Jeff was in communicating before and during our trip. It was clean, tidy, and has all the beach amenities you'd want (and don't want to bring with!) towels, chairs, and an umbrella! The street could be loud at times - but I think that's just the nature of fireworks around New Years. The washer/dryer wasn't working, but they let us know about a place right next door that we could have access to. You're steps away from the Broadwalk in the middle of restaurants, bars, and nightly live music. I highly recommend staying here!
