Excellent property walking distance to boardwalk Beach

This is a very nice property very close to the water and the boardwalk and beach with a nice beautiful stroll along the shoreline to the main attractions. The house is roomy with a full kitchen and living room. Perfect for a couple with a child.

Little Gem

We had a great stay with everything we needed close to the surf for a contest this weekend. Super easy walk to surf, maybe 7 minutes to the steps. The kitchen was actually stocked with useful items which I’ve found to be rare in some places. Super easy check in and great access to town. We’ll be back next year. Thank you.

Lighthouse Fields

The location was wonderful, a new part of town for us on the westside. We found the unit to be dark inside with several of the light fixtures not working. The manager was responsive but seemed to be on a tight budget.

Cute bungalow with great location

Nice to walk to Steamer Lane to surf, eat at Steamer Supply, and great coffee and croissant at Shrine Coffee. The house is very efficient and comfortable with everything you need except maybe a full roll of paper towels and an extra roll of toilet paper so you don’t have to go to the store right away.
