Pros:-The location of the house is great. It’s right by the marina with a restaurant and bar nearby. Also Sea Isle beach access is right across the main road and Jamaica Beach is a quick 10 minute drive down the main road. -The house had plenty of space to sleep our group of 11-The downstairs game room area was a great place to hang out away from the kids sleeping upstairs. The video games in the room were a lot funCons:-The kitchen table was horribly uncomfortable because the stools are too tall for the table, you can’t fit your legs underneath.-The house felt run down. It could be made a lot better if some relatively simple improvements / updates were made.-There was a large hole in the deck, covered by a broken paver. This wasn’t mentioned to us beforehand and we had multiple young kids at the house which felt unsafe. -The kitchen items were lacking & not in the best condition. The oven seems to be on its last leg.. things had to cook twice as long and at a higher temperature. -the bunk bed mattresses were so thin you could feel the metal bars underneath when you laid down.-The house didn’t feel clean. There was a thick layer of dust on top of the fridge (where we were storing some food items) & on the bathroom walls. -Our feet were black after walking around the house on the first night.-The outdoor trash cans were overflowing to the point that we couldn’t add any of our trash. They were never emptied over the weekend despite multiple messages to the host.
