Grand Historic 8BR 6 5BA Mansion Waterfront Decks

Everything!!

Nothing!!

The location is great, and the house is spacious—it comfortably accommodated our large group, which made our stay easy and enjoyable.

There was no hot water in the showers, which was a big inconvenience during our stay. Additionally, the property management was not flexible about check-out. Although they offered a late check-out option before the stay, the fee was extremely high, and once we arrived, there was no willingness to accommodate any flexibility at all.

The host, while initially treating us like we were overreacting when we noted that the lights weren’t working and heat was out and the home lacked sufficient flatware and cups for the 12 people we booked for — eventually were very responsive, and tried to address all our concerns and were quite apologetic and offered a refund of some of the cost for our troubles. But I don’t understand why they are renting this place out.

This house is in terrible condition. It’s a lovely old home but it has been allowed to decay into total disrepair. The windows and doors don’t close properly and in winter actual wind comes into the house. There are leaking pipes, no hot water in some bathrooms, toilets that don’t flush well. Doorknobs fell off in our hands. The couch is collapsing, some of the chairs seem ready to go too. Also this house —while near the boardwalk —is not in a lovely area; it’s surrounded by glass filled fields and a liquor store down the block. That might all not matter if the house were in a better condition, but as it stands, it’s just another strike against this house. Please note that I’ve NEVER given a booking this negative before — and I’m usually a good judge of rentals. But the photos for this house are absolutely misleading and are — at best — from a very different time when the house was in decent shape. It’s not. Do not stay here.

Quiet, spacious, close to beach/boardwalk

I was in love with the marvelous home and the unique design.

The home is old so a lot of things don't work such as the old locks on bedroom doors.
