Rustic Cottage Near the Beach
Overall, we enjoyed staying at this cottage, even if it is a bit rustic. The proximity to Twin Lakes beach is its best selling point, but it also has a nice large back yard. The footprint is small, and some of the furniture is a bit worn. Overall though it was a nice price in a great location. The hot tub was a great perk!

Great location with yard, small and cozy home
We loved being able to walk to the beach and restaurants, also a very dog friendly area which was nice. Some bits of the house are a little run down, but overall really lovely and comfortable. You can hear the neighbors quite a bit, but that's pretty typical for the area.

Cozy relaxing cottage
Always feels like home to stay here. Perfect location on a quiet street blocks from the beach. Lovely setup for a family of four with the kids enjoying their room and spending lots of time outdoors. Kitchen and dining area saved us from having to eat out. Love the ample outdoor space. Great vibes and hang spaces. Plenty of room to separate from the children to socialize. Overall another great stay!

Very old unmaintained home.
This song is built in the 30s. Very small nice backyard with hot tub. We battled the hot tub on a daily basis because the temperature kept shutting off Suggestions for owner: Purchasing nonstick skillet, Remove cobwebs from light fixtures, Update toaster oven door won’t stay shut

Cute Little Hidden Gem
The house is old and small but very clean. Great location and neighborhood. Easy walk to the marina, beach or restaurants. Never had to drive on the highway to get to the Boardwalk. The home is well furnished for your needs. Some of the cooking pans need updating. We enjoyed our stay and would do it again.

Walkable neighborhood
We enjoyed being able to walk to the beach and took several strolls around the neighborhood. The outside spaces are charming but be mindful of noise: we could overhear other neighbors conversations whether they were inside or outside, due to close proximity and we didn’t want to disturb THEIR peace either. It’s a sweet, tiny cottage perfect for two.

Charming Seaside Cottage
Flawless. It was but a short walk to the beach and any number of restaurants and coffee houses. We drove to the (in)famous Boardwalk (featured prominently in "The Lost Boys") and Wharf, but the forty-minute walk is totally doable. The house was clean, comfortable and well-appointed, with enough space for the four of us.

The house was nice and cozy on a quiet street. Kitchen was well stocked, plenty of towels in the bathroom. The kids liked the hot tub. House is only minutes from the beach. Beds were a little firm for my taste and I have a firm mattress at home. Overall we had a good stay.
