Overall, we had a great stay and my family really loved it. The apartment is much nicer in person than in the pictures, the kitchen is well stocked, and being right on the boardwalk was really awesome. Tom was very responsive to any questions or concerns I had.
Some things to consider when thinking about this property:
- Linens are not included with the rental. We used a linen rental service so that we didn't have to worry about it.
- The entrance is in a back alley that is pretty sketchy. There is a lot of store trash lying around and there is a sketchy breezeway right by the stairs. I was worried that we would have to use the broken down shower next to the stairs but luckily, we were supposed to use the nice white one.
- There are two flights of stairs to get up to the apartment and the inside stairs are kind of steep. If stairs are an issue for you, you may want to reconsider.
- If there is a concert hosted on the beach during your stay, it will be loud in the apartment. There was a band playing on the beach right outside the apartment when we arrived and it was very loud. All other times, the boardwalk sounds were not a problem.
- The internet was not the best. It was very slow. If you need to work while on vacation, it might be difficult.
- You are not able to park next to the entrance to the apartment. You have to park and then walk down the alley to access it. I suggest bringing a beach wagon to unload luggage and groceries.
