It was nice and clean. A good location, close enough to some shops but not touristy or very built up. Very accommodating to any of our questions or needs even after we arrived
Fantastic location beachfront with a tap to wash off the sand. All the amenities you need!
Property management was responsive and provided all the information needed for an easy check in and check out including text reminders to put out trash and bring the cans in. Great experience overall.
We enjoyed being on the beach and having direct access to the ocean. Vitamin Sea was clean and provided an open layout to the deck overlooking the ocean. The bedrooms and bathrooms are a good size and the beds were comfy. No driving while we were on our mini vacation b/c we were walking distance to shops, The Grind, restaurants, IGA grocery store, ice cream, donuts and much more.
Location is great, the cleanliness was not the best. We found trash under beds, a truly alcohol can unopened. The floors were sticky and dining room table was sticky.

Glad you enjoyed the location. Thank you for the feedback, apologies, we will look into that issue.
Overall, this was a great affordable property. The only downsides were the elevator, roaches, and dirty old linens in the closet. Upon arrival, the elevator was stuck between floors, luckily Ward Realty was on site and able to fix it. We got one trip up and down, and then it wouldnt work again. At night, sitting on the back deck, roaches were crawling in and out of the cracks constantly. This made the back deck pretty unappealing for nighttime. They were pretty large too. I only had to kill one in the master bedroom. In the downstairs closet there was a bag of dirty linens clearly labeled 6/14/25 stating one of the bunk bed comforters was peed on. Pretty gross that it has been sitting there this whole time. Other than that, the kitchen was amazing and well stocked. The beds were very comfortable, but extremely thick, make sure you bring extra deep pocket sheets. The driveway was nice, room for 5 cars. The views were incredible, and being right on the beach was priceless. I would highly recommend, if those few items were addressed.

Thank you for your feedback and review. We are happy there were many postivie aspects of your trip. We apologize for the linen bag, we have reached out to the service. So sorry the elevator malfunctioned on your stay and that issue will be addressed but unfortunately sometimes larger issues require parts or fixes beyond our control. The bugs, we do weekly pest control however they do love the warmth and environment of the coast so it is hard to eliminate especially in the most humid months of the year, but on your next stay please alert us and we can ask the decks are well covered by pest control. We hope to have you back
Fantastic location! Incredible view, and proximity to downtown surf city. The home was very clean and well appointed. What a great way to relax and unwind for a few days.
The property was exactly as listed. However, the description of the view couldn't capture the beauty that we saw from the balcony and deck. There were 9 of us in our group. We all had privacy in our own rooms, but also large common areas for family time.
