This was a last minute booking for me and my family and overall it was great. Walking distance to the beach and boardwalk. The space in the apt was great for 6 people, there’s a swimming pool for kids as well. The place was pretty clean two queen beds and sofa bed, the only bad thing about the sofa bed was that the sheets were dirty and mattress was so thin but overall it was great!

The room I stayed in was very clean and included all the necessary amenities. The owner is very kind and helped me with an issue I had with my stay. I just gave 4 stars instead of 5 becuase at times he was hard to reach and there was not clear check out instructions.
