Annual Powell Family Vacation 2024
This cozy little house was perfect for our small family of five. This is an older home. No fancy hot tubs, etc. but all of the bases are covered. We enjoyed making family meals in the kitchen and having our evening meal on the screened-in porch. The living room was also a comfortable space for us to gather. We visited after Labor Day and one or two mornings had a chill in the air. The host (Doug) helped us get the gas fireplace going and we could enjoy morning coffee in front of the fire. Our hosts (Susanne and Doug) were very responsive and typically on site within minutes of our texting a question. They went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of. I recommend texting Susanne directly and bypassing the VRBO app. I experienced 24 hour delays with the VRBO app during check-in. The location was ideal for us. Walking distance to the beach, boardwalk and local ice cream shop. Short drive to a great grocery store and the Belmar train station. You may not be able to see the ocean from the house but, if the surf is up you can hear it, and a distant train whistle from the porch. So fun. Thank you Susanne and Doug for sharing your lovely home with us.
