Definitely enjoyed our stay. Easy access to the beach. Nice to have outdoor space to use along with the great indoor space. Very clean and having air conditioning was a definite plus.
Third year coming back to this property. This year my son and family rented one side and my daughter, husband, myself and my husband rented the other side. Beautiful spot for a family getaway just steps from the beach. Sunsets are amazing and shallow water and beach great for the kids. Looking forward to next year.
Being close to the beach was important to me and this is exactly what we got. House was clean and it's location was superb. We ended up staying an additional night and property owners were very cooperative in making this possible. We had beautiful weather and the beach was not overcrowded. We just loved it here. Special Thanks to our Hosts for making this possible.
Cute little place to stay for a few nights. Very clean. Right by the beach. Grill and stove definitely need to be updated, but worked well enough. Everyone had a great time and we all agree that we would go back.
It was our 2nd year & didn't disappoint. Parking was a little difficult because it was a weekend & tourist filled our spots, but around dusk we had our spot available. Location is great, within walking distant to food, beach & entertainment. Planning year 3!
We stay here annually and itâs fantastic. You have beach access, convenient parking, and can walk everywhere.
Park the car Friday and donât move it until Sunday when we leave.
The host is very accommodating and provides anything you may need.
Iâd highly recommend this to anyone looking to enjoy sylvan beach or the surrounding areas.
You can walk out the door barefoot and head straight onto the beach! Huge expanse of shallow water and and small waves on windy days were perfect for my kids. The house is simple, but suited our needs perfectly. My only small gripe is despite bringing our towels, sheets, and blankets - we were also missing things like dish towels, a bathmat, and a hand towel for the bathroom. A quick trip to Dollar General fixed that problem. Knowing that for next time, we would certainly come back!
Prime location for walking to restaurants and beach access! Host was very responsive to my questions and let us check-in a little early. Inside looked just like the photos. When they say no paper or cleaning products they mean it - no hand soap, dish soap, garbage bags, paper towels. There was TP but no refill so I left the one I brought for the next guests. Stairs to the upstairs are narrow and would not be great for anyone with a mobility issue. The floors were swept but had not been mopped in a while. Would stay again for a friendcation but not with my children, you could hear every drunk conversation happening outside. Recommend bringing socks/slippers.
Great location. Never moved our vehicle in the three day we were there. Walked to everything. Cottage was older but quite clean. Upstairs bedrooms/bathroom have NO air or fan in bathroom. No cleaning products left for us, no pot holders, sponges or dish soaps. We had to shop for a few items when we got there. No interaction with property owners whatsoever. We cleaned the oven as it was left pretty yucky from the previous rentals. Lamps throughout did not work. Maybe just burned out bulbs. Night light in bathroom did not work. No lock on screen door to the main road. All in all, a great family vacation with our adults boys. Great location. Cute old cottage with access to beach. We left it almost as clean as we found it. Nothing was left to mop the floor with.
Had to read the fine print to comprehend the stay would not be in a beach house but in part of the duplex on the property behind the beach house. It was good because it was still on the beach and we had access to a table and area on the property steps from the beach. Owners were not there and took about a day to get the PM's name and confirm he is legitimate. We had issues with security of the house we stayed in. Children around the property informed me they know our passcode to get into my place and there were random people that tried to get into the house while I stayed there. Was a bit better once the PM fixed the lock on the door at the street. We retired each night with chairs propped against the door for our added security. The people that stayed in the other part of the duplex with us were friendly. The description of what is t is provided and what we needed to bring is very clear and worked out quite well. Check out consisted of just cleaning out our items and we put our parking passes back on their hooks. Hopefully all is well and check out w as s completed correctly.
My kids loved it (15,14,10). The neighborhood was very blue collar. Safe (one annoying meth head in the park who asks for money). My kids walked around with no issues. We were there for seven nights and weâd stay there again.
Pros:
You literally walk out a walkway and youâre in the sand. Thereâs an enclosed area to grill and chill. Also a designated table overlooking the beach with a private beach entrance literally into the sand.
There is a dog friendly walking area across the street. Follow the sidewalk and it leads to the playground and the amusement park which is only open weekends. Arcade cash only.
Cons (more like pointers):
Not private at all. The houses are all on top of each other and the back of the house is ten feet from the landlord. You can see into each otherâs properties while you do the dishes.
The permanent neighbor is 420 friendly and our unit filled up with stench on several occasions.
The rental comes with beds, dressers, a shower curtain, pots, and dishes. There was nothing more. You have to bring your own soaps and toilet paper and paper towels, and a sponge to do the dishes and there was no dish drying rack, which was a pain. Bring towels and pillows and blankets and a towel for the kitchen.
No laundry on site was a BIG BUMMER for our week-long stay. Thereâs a laundromat a few blocks away, but itâs not walkable with a basket! Also itâs five to wash and dry but you need couple extra quarters dryer to get anywhere near dry. Open 7a-5p on 15th
We were there for a family vacation. and the property was perfect. Our granddaughters loved the beach and it was so convenient with the house right there. The place was very clean and Sara was great to deal with. You could walk to everything and there is a nice amusement park down the road that the girls loved. I would definitely recommend this place and we will be staying again in the future.
This was our last family vacation before our new arrival and it was amazing! Weather, location, & property was all A+ ! Definitely recommend and definitely would stay here again!
We have been enjoying summers at Sylvan Beach for many years. We share a beachfront property with the rental units and are happy to help with any requests.
This is a family friendly property that is within walking distance to restaurants, bars, amusement park, mini golf, and more. The units are spacious, clean, and has all the amenities of home. We are pet friendly.
