HOME - DOWNTOWN - 50 STEPS FROM SAND, PIER And BOARDWALK - PARTIAL VIEW

I really wanted to give this place 5 star rating but I just can’t. Location can’t be beat. I searched and to have a HOUSE this close to everything w/o being on a main road and with a view and great patio area to enjoy the view was great for relaxing. BUT there was construction going on directly across the street our entire stay. It’s not a vacation if we’re still waking up at 6am every morning. Plus the construction workers used the retaining wall on the patio area as their own picnic area. If there weren’t 3-4 guys having their lunch or just hanging there, then they left their soda cans, chip wrappers, containers etc. We couldn’t even use the patio area. We did barbecue one day but ate inside because I didn’t want to share my space with strange men. My kids wanted to sit out front and hang out but I didn’t allow it because of the workers hanging around and I have a preteen daughter. From the living room window they could see us so you’d think they’d not hang out there. They didn’t care that we were there. They behaved as though that was their space. It was just sooo uncomfortable. Also the view from inside is not like the photos anymore. Now you have a partial view (when there aren’t large construction trucks blocking it) the other part of the view is the row of port of potty’s. Other than the proximity to downtown and the beach (which gets an A+) and the comfort of the inside of the house this was NOT a vacation. It was stressful. This was way too much to pay for what we got. Maybe at a different time but not w/the construction. Also the house was a little stuffy smelling at first. We opened the windows but then we couldn’t hear the television from the construction noise. Very disappointed.
