We rented Robert‘s place for a month as a family weekend getaway from NYC, and had a wonderful time. Our kids adored the beach, the neighborhood was lovely to walk around in, and the house had all of the amenities we were looking for (large backyard, cooking supplies for a big group, washer/ dryer/ dishwasher, plenty of sleeping options).
The only downside of our experience was with how lived the house was. The house feels like it could use a renovation, as some of the windows are difficult to see through, the washer and dryer are in the kitchen and really loud, and the kitchen is a little small (as representative examples). Overall I’d still say it was a very positive experience, and felt like we got our money’s worth.
