We stayed at this property for a week in August. It was the perfect location- easily walkable to the beach and the boardwalk. The property itself was great; updated kitchen and a nice open floorplan. For adults, it's a great place to stay. Be warned the next door neighbor (as of Aug 2022) has a VERY barky dog. Barks all day long if that's something that bothers you (hopefully you're out enjoying the beach and don't hear it!).
My biggest issue with the property is that there is a HUGE skylight in the master bedroom and a paper shade, meaning by 6 AM it is brighter than bright in the room. I would have brought a sleeping mask had I been aware.
FOR PARENTS WITH YOUNG KIDS- There are 2 issues when staying here with young kids. First, the sunken living room step is quite large and definitely poses a hazard to anyone not paying attention. You can see it in the pictures, but it's hard to see how deep it really is. We ended up putting the coffee table on top of the step to help remind the kids to "see" the step. And second, the spacing between the railings on the second floor is so far apart, both my 2 and 4 year old could have fallen through easily, let alone a younger child who is more unsteady. We couldn't let the kids walk on the second floor without someone watching them the entire time.
I also let the property management company know in our check-out review that it was not very well cleaned before we arrived - there was toothpaste in the sink, a used razor in the shower and 2 bags of trash in a bedroom. The floors were vacuumed and the rest of the property looked okay, but we were disappointed to see such obvious things missed.
Overall, despite what seems like a bunch of negatives, it really is a great space and the location can't be beat. As a traveler I just wanted to make those considering the property aware so they can plan better than we did. Go enjoy the beach!
