"We had a lovely stay the view was nice and hearing the ocean waves at night were very calming. The home is Vintage but it’s very homey. One of the beds is very hard and the other is soft. If all else fails the couches are loungers and very comfy to sleep in plus you can hear the ocean. We stayed 2 days so we had everything we needed clean towels and bedding extra pillows and a fridge and microwave. Though I would was the dishes before you use them , your supposed to wash them yourself after...

9.2 out of 10, Wonderful, (28)
"Perfect spot for traveling solo and not having a car, although the space is definitely big enough for two! Just steps to the ferry and the boardwalk which goes all the way around the island for peaceful morning walks. Property manager was quick to respond when I couldn’t figure out how to turn on the shower. Delicious restaurant next door with excellent service that doubles as a coffee shop in the AM. Will definitely stay here again if available. "
