These dated properties are a steal for the location they’re in. I felt like I was back at my grandma’s house in the early 1980’s in that there was a lot of nostalgia. The house has a history, and it was fun to be a little part of it. The property was fully functional and clean. It was easy to cook meals without worrying about ruining the kitchen. The tenants downstairs were a bit out off by my small children running back and forth above them during the evenings, but they mentioned it with polite candor, and all was good.
Nice location next to 12th st. Beach. Close to shopping and food/restaurants within walking distance. Safe distance from Long Beach Blvd. so kids could bike and play safely. Outdoor shower was great for washing off sand from the beach. With small children, I appreciated the vinyl coverings on all the beds! Nice that there was a washing machine in the unit and easy to wash and hang everything out to dry from the balcony pulley. Clothespins provided. Don’t forget to bring dish soap, hand soap, laundry soap,toilet paper, and paper towels. Apart from that all amenities are in the house. Bedrooms tended to be a little on the hot/humid side despite the provided fans- my crafty husband bought an AC unit from Home Depot (10 min drive), and we were able to keep the house cool/comfortable. If you have such a unit at home- bring it.
Wasn’t brand spanking new, but it was reminiscent of the older houses I’ve rented in Cape Cod. Comfortable, cozy!
