My husband and I stayed at Nick's home with our 2 kids, 7 and 1 year, Feb 3-10. His place was described accurately. As previous posts indicated, the home was spotless, which we were very thankful for! As we were travelling with a baby, it was important to us that he had a safe, comfortable place to sleep. One of the big draws for us was the beautiful crib in one of the bedrooms. It was perfect for our son, who is picky about where he sleeps!
The washrooms were very clean and nice. We all really liked the rain shower. Also loved that there were fans in the kids' room and the master bedroom. The master bed wasn't the most comfortable bed I've slept in and sounded springy when you move, but overall I still slept comfortably, especially because the bed and everything else was so clean. Cleanliness is a huge factor for us, as I'm sure it is for others as well, and my husband and I were very relieved and comfortable staying here!
There is a washer and dryer in the house and this was a life saver for us, especially with kids, going to the beach everyday, etc.
We had rented a car so it was easy to get everywhere and close to everything we needed - beaches, grocery store, Target, boardwalk and other fun stuff. We had wanted to bbq one night but there was no bbq at the house. There was however a big cooler there for us to use so we bought charcoal and lighter fluid and made a bbq on one of the grills at the beach, which worked out well. The cooler was really helpful to have there; we brought food and drinks with us to different beaches everyday. There were a few beach toys in the closet and we bought a few more to use, which we left there for others. There were also a few books and games for kids, which mine enjoyed.
Nick was an amazing host. He was extremely accommodating and quick to respond to all of my questions, from the time I started inquiring about his rental property, all throughout our week there, and even when we got back to Toronto and I had to message him about something we forgot. Before we left for our trip Nick sent me useful info about where I can stop for groceries by the house, etc, which was really helpful for us. He also left a house guide in a binder so we could refer to that for entertainment, shopping, beaches, etc. We both found Nick to be kind, honest and super helpful. I would absolutely rent from him again.
