My two sons, age 16 and 6, and I stayed here the second week of June. Everything was exactly as depicted in the pictures. I'm a super picky, germaphobe, worry wart. And this place was extremely neat and clean, and nothing disappointed. The furnishings and amenities were up to date and were like brand new. The view was unreal...so beautiful, with nothing separating us from the ocean but the big, gorgeous beach. The water was warm!! And the surf was the most unique I've ever experienced---just heavenly really. It was better than I could've expected. And having the pool on site was a bonus that I didn't expect to bring us so much joy. When the kids would tire of the sun and sand, we'd retreat to the condo and enjoy hours of fun in the heated pool. Directly across the street, on the beachside, was a little pizza place where we got lunch almost everyday. It was inexpensive and consistently good, and they'd even deliver to us poolside. There's also plenty of other delicious restaurants close by, and we highly recommend the lobster house, lucky bones, and duffers ice cream--complete with an arcade and diner. The location of the condo is really ideal. There are fun things to do close by, like the boardwalk and amusement parks, the zoo and aviation museums, as well as drug stores, groceries, retail shops, and restaurants. But all of those things are far enough away that you're not in a congested, touristy area. We never heard people or activity first thing in the morning or very late at night. We felt peaceful, safe, and secure, while still feeling the awesome energy of the beach and summer excitement. I also wanted to mention that there's a shop rite grocery store not too far away. Before we arrived, I ordered groceries online from my home in Pittsburgh, and I was able to pick them up for a $5 or $10 charge. For $10 or $15, I could've had them delivered. That was an awesome convenience, as we lost no time at the beach and getting settled when we got into town. This place really had something for all of us. Beyond all that I've mentioned, the owner, Ellen, was eager and available to help with any questions or concerns I had prior to arriving and after we arrived. She was so friendly and sweet, and her husband even helped attach my exhaust pipe before we departed back to Pittsburgh. Truly a wonderful experience, and hope to do it again sooner, rather than later. It felt like home. Thanks again :)
