I really wanted to like this beach house. It had a couple of great reviews. I rented this for my parents to stay in while they were visiting New Jersey. Upon checking in, the first thing we noticed was the lack of cleanliness. The outside of the house had lots of garbage and debris under and around it (parts of paper cups, cans, plastic bags, an ashtray etc...). The bathroom had a moldy gross looking shower curtain, the shower did not work (the knob was on backwards and only did hot or cold with no in between, we put a call in to the owner but did not get a response until the next day. My dad eventually had to take it apart and repair it.), there was what appeared to be dried toothpaste in the sink, the toilet was dirty. Moving on to the kitchen, the stove door does not close properly (there is like an inch gap between the door and the stove, which the owner said it's been like that for a long time and it's fine...my parents were not comfortable using it), there was some sticky goo on the counter that needed to be cleaned up. The garbage cans were filthy and gross. The bar stool type chairs that are in the kitchen are not the ones shown in the picture and one had a broken piece on the back. The living room furniture is much more abused looking than in the picture on the website, there is an inch of dust on every ceiling fan blade. As for the bedrooms, the walls are filthy, the pictures on the website are not an accurate representation. The pillows have multiple nasty stains on them. The bed in the single bedroom is missing the back piece. The bedspreads and blankets were stuffed in a very dusty dirty closet. The baseboard heaters were rusty, dusty and just generally gross looking. The closet in the single bedroom was filthy with dirt and debris (gum wrappers, broken parts of hangers and dust balls) on the floor. Ann, the owner, did try to make it right by refunding $100 to my parents and we appreciated the effort but overall it seems as if the place was misrepresented and we were quite disappointed. I wanted to give a 1 star review, but I gave it 2 stars because Ann did give us a small refund for the shower & cleanliness issue.
