10/10
We enjoyed the house for a long weekend in November for a Bachelor party. Very large house in a relatively quiet part of town with all of the architectural touches of early 20th century craftsmanship that you could ask for. Beautiful wood paneling throughout, hardwood floors, nice period tiling, stained glass, large kitchen with all of the pots/pans/cutlery to serve a full home cooked meal, full dining room, large living room with a nice sectional and a 65" Flat Screen. Accounts were logged into the TV already for our viewing convenience. Small details like that which were well thought out for our stay. Strong WiFi. Heat worked well and all blankets/pillows/sheets/towels that were provided were of good quality. Essentially 4 Master Bedrooms on the 2nd floor, each with their own en suite shower/tub. All bedrooms on 2nd floor have access to balconies that overlook the bay. 3rd floor had 4 rooms, 2 beds to a room. 2 bathrooms on the 3rd floor. 2 of the rooms had access to another balcony with even better views of the bay. More than enough room for our group of 10. The jetty is close for fishing, boardwalk is right there for runs in the morning, casinos and other activities are a 5min UBER ride away. Liquor store and local grocery store within 1 block. Ample street and alley parking. Close to the highway and within 1/2 hour drive of nice golf courses and other outdoor activities. Hot tub was clean and hot upon arrival. Rumor has it this house was almost selected for a Jersey Short reboot? I would rent this house again in a heartbeat.
A few small drawbacks:
- The outside of the house could use a little TLC and a good coat of paint, but this did not affect my experience inside of the house in any way. The inside was very well kept apart from small finishes. It would just provide a better first impression.
- The alleyway which runs right next to the house is used rather frequently by cars/pedestrians and the hot tub/grill/backyard are situated right next to the alley. Not the most private but it was not a huge deal.
- As it gets later into the night, the police activity picked up in the area. Not sure how great of an area it is in general, but we never felt unsafe staying here / getting dropped off or picked up in an UBER / being outside the house at night.
- Took a little while for hot water to reach the 3rd floor but it stayed hot once it got there.
Two thumbs up from all 10 guys who stayed the weekend.
I would 100% rent this house again.
