A great and quiet location. It was perfect for a family vacation. The home was a close walk to restaurants, the boardwalk and steamer lane. The place was also very clean with anything you could need for your stay!
The kitchen was very well appointed. We enjoyed the fire pit out back. The beds were comfortable, and the bathrooms were clean. Loved our stay. Will be back.
