The Roaring 20's 343

So happy we were there before Sandy! The location was perfect. We didn't want a fancy place where we couldn't relax and this property was all for relaxation. It was easy to keep clean, had comfortable beds and clean bathrooms. Sure the age of the house would be less desirable for some but we loved it for the character and close proximity to the beach. Easy to access from the highway but quiet...except for those waves!

A short stroll to Avalon Pier and Awful Arthur's; a short drive to most everything else; a flight of steps to the sand! Now that's location! As others have said, it's a house for the dedicated beach bum. I've stayed in four on the beach, and none have ever had a better oceanfront deck! It's huge and largely covered, which is great for when it rains but you still want to sit outside and contemplate the surf between chapters of a good book. Kitchen well equipped; bathrooms adequate; no carpeting on main level (upper level carpeted); outside showers pretty much unusable (need dug out -- but it was a tad too cool anyway). No AC was no problem in September, as the temps never got above 80. In fact, the electric heat came in handy a few nights. Being a bit of a techno-nut, I could've done with internet access, mostly to check various restaurant menus and other local info, but my smart phone sufficed for the most part. For a two week stay, the washer/dryer was invaluable, allowing me to pack half as much. Sadly, most deck furniture had been badly treated, and so was unusable. I'm kind of used to such inconveniences, though, vacationing as I do at the end of the season, after many other renters had used (and misused) the furnishings. My folding beach chair easily took care of that issue. This is not luxury. This is a bit of good ol' Outer Banks, before it became the OBX. If you're lay back and easy going, you should enjoy Roaring 20's.

Ugh!! While the location of this home was spectacular,the condition of the home was deplorable.All of the screen doors were broken or missing,kitchen windows did not work ,the floor in the"master "bathroom was rotted,the upstairs bath had capeting that reeked of urine.Fireplace really isnt one(plug in electric inset), deck furniture and grill were unusable.The home had not had a professional cleaning in quite some time,mouse poop in drawers,dusty light fixtures that had many seasons of bugs in the ones outside.While we realize it was off peak,there still is an expectation that listed amenties should be in good working orderand unit should be maintained.This definately was not the case with this home!! Not sure I would rent it again without some updates to bathroom,and new living room furniture(which was reall,really uncomfortable).Beds were comfortable,kitchen stock was ok

Stayed here in November of 2010 and had a wonderful time, the house had more than ample room for 3 people and was comfortable. Close enough to everything, and very quiet this time of year. will be renting again in 2012.

This is a fabulous house! It's whimsical and nicely furnished! I stayed here in march of 2002, with a wedding party! I am planning to book this house again soon!

The location of this house is perfect and the view off the deck is simply fantastic!! There is NO A/C in this house and few fans , so if you do not tolerate heat well this is not your house. The house is in need of some serious updating and is not at all impressive inside.....but if you are a beach bum this is the house for you!!!
