The May Caper

I have stayed her a few times and it's location is ideal (to the beach and to the Boardwalk and activities of all kinds). However it's a bit "rustic" and, while that is good in the sense that you don't feel as though you might "damage" any of the miss-matched furniture and relative décor, there could be more "charm" to the rental.

It's a good and relatively inexpensive property - especially if you go with a group of friends or with family.

However, be aware that the owners are a bit quirky and there one "rule" or "ask" is that renters "take out the garbage" on garbage pick-up days- which entails rolling some stand-up bins from the back of the property to the curb - a few yards. This is the only vacation rental property that has ever asked this and I found it a bit irksome.

They also have asked (in past visits) if someone in our party wouldn't mind "answering the phone if it rings and taking a message if it's someone interested in renting." Additionally, someone in my party was asked if "they would mind showing an open unit to a potential renter, if they wander in and if you are here?" Sorry but, if you want to take some $ off the rental agreement, I can play realtor but I found this a bit odd.

Again - it's a great location and steps from the beach (and, the times we have rented) came with a certain number of beach passes -always a great "plus."

There is an attendant for the property but they have limited hours - I always wondered why they weren't required to take out the garbage on pick-up days, potentially answer the phone or be on-site to show potentially open rental rooms within the "cottage."

Overall though, and despite the "quirks" of the owners, we have had wonderful memories in this property.

Oh - and in the past, they had a washing machine and dryer in the rear of the building for potential use - not sure if they still maintain that.
