This was a perfect location and property for us to be with family over the holidays. The community is near Smithville for a nice shopping experience and is located in a quiet section of town. We are very appreciative of how clean and spacious the home was and accommodations were very comfortable.

Other than cleanliness, two things are very important when we travel -- a comfortable bed and a good shower. This property had both. We also liked the proximity of wonderful seafood restaurants within a 30 minute drive (favorite was Oyster Creek in Leed's Point). Smithville was a fun place to visit.

The perfect place for us to stay in that area. Just off the Garden State Parkway near Stockton University. I lived in nearby Absecon for several years. I traveled around the State visiting old friends while my wife spent leisure time at the casinos. This works perfect for us.

Weekend getaway

The Country Home is located in a quite and private part of the property, which was wonderful. We took advantage of the kayaks and lake everyday. It was a lovely way to unwind and relax. We loved it. Joy was a great host. She was responsive and addressed our questions quickly.

Quiet house in a beautiful location

A really nice house outside of Atlantic City we visited to attend several concerts. Ubers we’re easy to get back and forth, and during the days there were nice hikes from the property around a beautiful lake. The house was clean and very comfortable, we’ll definitely go back.
