We loved the Johnson Beach House! They are great hosts with a beautiful home. They were also able to accommodate our German Shepherd who is just a bit over the weight limit Bubba loved the beach! See yâall next year!
Upon our arrival, we had to do quite a bit of cleaning. There were still dirty bed linens on the beds from the previous renters. The entire place was a mess! We spent 4 hours cleaning the place before our family arrived. The floors were nasty. We had to wash the little bed linens that were there. (There was very little and we had to go buy more.) There was some dirty linens still in the washer that had not been washed. The bathroom was interesting. There was a shim of wood under the toilet to keep it from rocking back and forth when you sat down on it. (Looks like they had to do some plumbing repairs at one time and never properly fixed the floor underneath the toilet. The king sized bed was held up by paper back books. (I wondered why the first three nights I felt lopsided in bed. I had to put the books back under the frame that had come loose.) Chris did refund us our cleaning fee. The one good thing about this place is they allow pets! It's very difficult to find a place in OC that allows pets. We did appreciate that! All in all, I just wish this place was a bit better kept. It's a great location. It could be a really cute place with some general repairs, cleaning and maintenance.
The condo was not cleaned and I had to spend a great deal of time getting the vacuum to work. The owner was very responsive to the issue and all worked out very well in the end.
This property was clean and in an excellent location. It is right behind the shopping center with food lion and Dunkin Donuts, also right next to WAWA. It was great for the dogs, plenty of space to walk them and far enough off of costal to where we felt they were safe. The property itself was clean and well kept, and the owner was always available and was great at communication. The patio was great and we will definitely be staying here again!
My wife and I were excited to find this property because it was in a location that we liked and walking distance to the ocean. Sadly my wife and I had to spend the entire first day cleaning the place before we were even comfortable sitting on a couch. There was a wet swiffer which would turn the cleaning pads completblack after just 30 seconds of mopping. If anyone ever moved a couch and cleaned it would be the first time. There was plywood under the toilet to keep it from falling through the floor. The cabinets were out of plumb. The sliding doors looked like they were from the 70s and required a lot of work to function. And on top of all of this the price includes a cleaning fee for work my wife and i needed to do.
We loved renting this condo for a week! The location near the beach was amazing, the indoor pool was great. It was quiet and relaxing.
Some things I wish we had known before going:
The indoor pool is closed due to the pandemic
There are no floats or tubes allowed at the pool which bummed my kids out but was understandable since it was so busy while we were there
If we decide to come back, we will bring larger pots pans and a large skillet with it. For most families the size of the pots and pans would work great, but being a family with 5 children, we always need bigger and just didn't even think of it this time
If you want to order pizza, we highly recommend trying Captain Pizza out! There pizza was amazing
Overall, the stay was amazing!
This was the perfect place for our family in terms of size for our group of five (and two dogs), plus a short, 4 minute walk to the beach, just as described. The owner was very flexible with our requests, which we really appreciated. The pool was great for our youngest daughter, and the patio was a great place to store our beach supplies. It was also nice to be able to walk to the grocery. The condo itself is very pretty and beach-themed, always a plus. The neighborhood and surrounding area was FANTASTIC
My wife and i stayed here 6/14 to 6/19 although the weather did not completely cooperate We still enjoyed ourselves, Nice huge outdoor pool. When the weather was not cooperating we were able to swim in the indoor pool which is now open.Condo had a nice master bedroom with walk in shower and deep huge tub. There was a nice patio to sit outside if you have a animal. . Only downside was the toilets in both bedrooms are very low to the ground which can be difficult if you have a hard time getting down. Would bring a handicap chair next time. Beach access was easy and many restaurants nearby. Would definitely come again
This property was spacious and in a great location. The condo overall could use some general repairs, but all things were in working order. Pet friendly was a plus. We had a misunderstanding with the cleaning crew not coming until the 2nd day of our stay, but the property owner was apologetic and made things right for us. Things happen. Iâd stay again.
Excellent location!!!! Could use a good deep clean but the location and area make up for it. Steps
Excellent location!!!! Could use a good deep clean but the location and area make up for it. A very short walk to the beach and Bay Area. Starbucks is within walking distance too and the crab cake factory is delicious. The king bed was very comfortable and the owner was very easy to communicate with. We had a great weekend
This property is a lovely home away from home. Like the listing said, itâs a very short walk to a beautiful beach and to many shops like Food Lion, WaWa, Starbucks, etc. There are tons of tasty restaurants and happy hour locations in walking distance as well. My daughters were thrilled that it was only a $10 Uber to the many night life hot spots. All in all, this is a great rental! We plan on going back next year.
This is our second year staying at this Condo. We had myself, husband, three teenagers and our dog with us. The condo is the perfect size and the location is great for families. The owner is great to work with and very personable. Definetly seeing ourselves back for another vacation.
Our family enjoyed staying here! It was close to the beach & the bay. We were able to walk to both. The layout was perfect for our family of four plus our 2 large dogs. Thank you for great accommodations!
Everything we needed for a fabulous beach vacation with our three teenagers! We will be back.
A great location with plenty of activities in walking distance: the beach, grocery store, restaurants, a pier at Northside park for watching the sunset, outdoor pool, tennis courts, ice cream, coffee, and more. It is also an easy drive to the boardwalk or Assateague Island. The condo had all we needed for our family of 5 with 3 teenagers and we look foward to going back!
