I splurged on this oceanfront house so that my elderly mom, who has limited mobility, could enjoy the beach--and she did, as did the rest of my family! We could see the beach and hear the ocean from the house, including from 2 levels of a deck. We gave my mom the main-floor bedroom, which is adjacent to a bathroom with a walk-in shower and grab-bar. Entering the house does require going up a few steps. (This is just an FYI for others with mobility concerns; it was not a problem for my mom, and the photos make clear where the steps are.)
One tip: Bring an eye mask for sleeping if you are using the pull-out sofa bed. The lights on the boardwalk (similar to street lights) remain on all night for safety and are quite bright, and the living room (where the sofa bed is) has sliding glass doors along most of the front wall.
I love the décor. It's not cluttered, kitschy, or ostentatious. A chandelier made from shells is the perfect centerpiece of the house. I assume the house is old, so I sort of expected it to be a bit rickety, but it is solid and everything is in very good condition and clean, while still having a vintage charm.
I think this house is great for groups with varying preferences. It's on the boardwalk, yet it is also quiet at night. It has comfortable places to sit inside and outside, and the beach is obviously very close.
I would love to visit again sometime!
