"We loved staying at Michael and Jesslyn's surf shack. Excellent location that is a quick walk to the boardwalk in a quiet neighborhood. The decor is thoughtful and personal and the living space is comfortable and the kitchen is well supplied and clean."
"Beautiful, beautiful cozy space, and very kind and responsive hosts. Such a short walk to the beach, the boardwalk, a lake, a state park, and restaurants."
"We absolutely loved staying here!! It was so cozy and comfortable we loved coming back to relax for the evening after being out for the day and taking our dog to the beach. The backyard made it super easy to let him out often and run around. We loved the location and hope to stay again!"
"Wonderful little bungalow! Close to restaurants and the beach. Our kids especially loved playing in the back yard and we enjoyed coffee on the front porch and sunsets and dinners on the back porch. Such a great spot."
