Response from VrboOwner on 6 August 2020
Amelie, I love your review! Thank you! You and your daughter were wonderful guests. I'm so happy you found me and only wish I could have met you in person. Thank you for your friendliness and for taking such good care of my home. From one city slicker to another, I hope you both return sometime !!
About the host
Hosted by Helene Miller
Hello!
Most of the year we live right here. Charlie is a teacher in a middle school right near our house and I am a kindergarten classroom assistant in South Philly. We lived in Ormond by the Sea for 3 years but ended up coming back to our city, our 4 children and our 17 grandchildren! Now, in the summer we head off to Florida to be with family, kind of like reverse snowbirds!
Things we love: children, cooking, learning, photography, friends, the ocean, good wine and craft beer (which is in abundance here)
I do love to give suggestions for restaurants and things to do, so ask away!
Finally, we are always excited to learn about your own good time in our home and neighborhood. If you make any amazing discoveries, let us know!!
I am available by phone 7am-10pm, 7 days a week (Phone number hidden by Homeaway)

Why they chose this property
This used to be a full time rental for us and then we moved in and love it!
What makes this property unique
We are so close to everything by public transportation although, if you have a car, it is not difficult to find a parking space near the house
