The house was clean and functional, but ultimately fell short of the premium price being charged. Yes, it was a walkable distance to the boardwalk (one mile) but had the rental been priced more in line with comparable properties in the area, many of the shortcomings would have been easier to overlook.The biggest issue was the upstairs bedroom, which was uncomfortably hot throughout our stay. One detail that was not apparent from the listing was the layout of the third-floor bathroom. Rather than being a fully enclosed room, the bathroom is built within the loft-style bedroom space and doesn't have a ceiling, which limits both privacy and sound separation.The outdoor space was particularly disappointing. Rather than offering a private retreat, it backed directly onto a busy road and was flanked by neighboring properties on both sides with virtually no privacy screening. The area also appeared neglected. The screen door handle was broken and hanging off. A large weed had grown through the landscaping and was draped across the picnic table, making the space feel unmaintained. There was also no patio umbrella or other source of shade, which limited our ability to comfortably use the outdoor area during the day.Overall, the property was clean and served its basic purpose, and the owner was responsive, but the condition, amenities, and outdoor environment didn't match the price point. I expected a more comfortable and better-maintained experience.
