Cozy place
Pros:

Felt like home. Had everything needed. Very clean. Great location.

Cons:

The beds were uncomfortable. We stayed 3 nights. Hard to sleep well on beds that are not comfortable. My son slept on the sofa and said it was great. He did not use the pull-out bed.

This is a very nice place to stay while on vacation.
Pros:

Coziness, Location to beach and the Hospitality of the owners. Also, everything was provided. Coffee, linens, towels, beach chairs, umbrella, beach towels and even brand new toothbrushes.

Cons:

Parking..Not meant for full size trucks. The distance from Boardwalk is a little farther than noted. It is walkable in cool temperatures but still a good walk.
