This was the perfect house for a birthday beach trip with my mom and my dog. The host was very friendly and responsive. The location is great as you can walk to several restaurants, shops, and the beach access is very close!

House was not as clean as expected…no dishwasher provider, which is not a problem, but they did not provide dish drainer, no trash bags, and 1 roll of paper towels and toilet paper. Also when we got there, there was a dead bug…(roach), thought it would be okay…the 2nd night it had stormed and more roach’s came in… told the owner and explained that me and my kids were not comfortable staying so we left… and all she said was she was sorry it happened…

Response from VrboOwner on 28 July 2026
This is completely untrue. The house is professionally cleaned between guests and professionally exterminated. If there were issues with cleanliness, lack of supplies such as trash bags etc guests are encouraged to contact me and I’ll address right away. When this guest contacted me about bugs I told her I’d call my exterminator. She told me they would check out early because her kids wanted to go home. I was at the house later that day with the exterminator and we found no evidence of any infestation. No issues of bugs with other guests before or after this guest. I’m not sure what was going on but she never complained about any of these issues while she was there and the one issue she did complain about she left before I could address it. Such a bummer

Close to the beach, very walkable to lots of shops, the boardwalk. You are unfortunately required to bring your own sheets, towels, shower hair products and soaps. Comforters and pillows were a bit stained, consider bringing your own. Otherwise enjoyed our stay!

Host profile image

We have moved around a lot and love to travel but this quiet beach town is really our favorite place to be, There are many newer and bigger houses on the island but we like to save these historic cottages and offer them for vacation travelers so that we can share our beach with others.

Why they chose this property

The location is wonderful! Close to everything. You never need the car once you get here.
