"My family really enjoyed our stay here! The house was beautiful, and we really enjoyed using the bikes during our stay. We found the house well-supplied with dish soap, toilet paper, etc. for our 4 night stay. We would absolutely stay here again in the future!"

"I thought the place was great - the location was great and was away from a majority of the noise, but close enough so that you could drive to a beach without much trouble for parking. (For reference we went on July 4th, considered the area's busiest time of the year.)
We had to buy a few more miscellaneous things like toilet paper, napkins, and shampoo, however, the vast supply of plates, cups, and kitchen utensils came in handy"

"The place is very spacious and clean, it easily sleeps six though we were only 4. The kitchen had everything we needed in terms of pots/pans and plates. I wish they had some cleaning products (no counter cleaner and only 3 dishwasher pods) and aluminum foil in the kitchen to allow us to more easily clean up after meals and save left overs. I'd be ok leaving extras that we bought but since nothing was there, I was worried it would just get thrown away. Expect hotel size/quality soap, shampoo and conditioner in the bathrooms. And while the listing does say there's minimal toilet paper (1 roll for each bathroom) it would not have been that hard to have an extra roll. We could have made do with what was there but I didn't feel like moving toilet paper around. Maybe I just think it's common courtesy to have a roll +1, especially at this rate. The location was great!! You are very close to the pool. No beach towels (but this was clear in the listing), which is a challenge if you are flying. We had plenty of space to park our car, a guest car and the bikes we rented. It was a nice/easy bike ride to Blue Mountain Beach. We even biked to Dune Alley Beach once too. The neighborhood was quiet - no noise concerns."

"This place was AMAZING! Location was perfect, within 1 mile from a great public beach and amazing food places (local catch was SO good, highly recommend) also the community is so quiet and cute, and the community pool is literally right in your backyard! Which means a 2 second walk and your there! Pool and hot tub were both clean and not crowded at all, we had the pool area to ourselves for a large portion of our time in the pools. House is beautiful and clean and the living area is huge, it rained during our stay but it wasn’t a huge deal because everyone had space to relax. The kitchen has an ice maker and is well stocked with everything you need to cook, minus the food 🤣 would 100% book this home again!"

"Our family enjoyed our stay so much! The house is described perfectly, very clean and felt cozy & welcoming! Location is great too. We saved by renting in highland park vs. closer to the beach and you’re still so close! I’d definitely recommend getting a golf cart to make getting around even easier. We did not because we have very young kids but kept saying how nice that would be. We never had trouble finding a spot to park at blue mtn beach access. We were so happy to find a little portable high chair in the kitchen and a beach chair upstairs. Only bummer was how cold the pool was, the ocean was warmer than the pool. We enjoyed dinner at Shunk Gully, Chringo in Grayton, North Beach Social (super kid friendly!), and the food trucks in Seaside. We also made a couple stops at Blue Mountain Bakery and a nightly stop at Blue Mountain Creamery! Can’t wait to return!"

"Perfect Getaway! - House was perfect for your family!!!"
Stayed July 2021
"Our family of 3 enjoyed the space. It’s perfect for a small group. Loved the layout. The half bath was nice too. Furniture was comfortable.
We made most of our meals during our 5 day stay. Kitchen was stocked with all the basics. A pizza pan or even cookie sheet would have been helpful but we improvised and it worked.
It was nice to have a couple of smart TVs in the master and one of the upstairs bedrooms. The ceiling fans in the upstairs bedrooms are on the same remote so you have to work through timing of speed and lights.
The walk to Blue Mountain Beach is easy to follow. And, you can’t beat the walk to the pool that’s basically in the back yard. It would be helpful to have a water hose to rinse off before going into the house.
Community is nice and quiet. Well kept house."

"It is a great house. Love the location. So close to pool and a 15 minute walk to beach. We rented this solely based the fantastic pool!! Even though the weather was quite warm and the ocean was warm enough to swim in, the pool was extremely cold. The kids loved the pool but could only stay in maybe 20 minutes before they were too cold. A local home owner told us that even in the heat of summer the pool is quite cold. She said it never really warms up.
Having said that, the pool was lovely to hang out around and the hot tub was great.
I am only including this because we chose this place solely for the kids to swim in the pool and that was a complete bust.
However, we still had a lovely vacation. But had we known about the pool, we would have chosen a different home.
The house was exactly has described and we thoroughly enjoyed it!"
