We had a wonderful week stay. Everything is detailed & organized. You’ll never need anything because its there.
You are close to Asbury for shopping. Close to Acme if you need anything. Close to the beach or the bay! Best of all perfect for pets. My Labrador loved the house.
The owners Mike & Debbie will respond promptly and are VERY understanding & accommodating. We will happily return.
This place was okay, fine for a short stay, but there were some definite safety concerns that could be easily addressed and stressed us out with young kids. The doors are run on a code system but there is no way to lock them (dead bolt, etc) from the inside which is worrisome. The tiles near the fridge and door are broken which isn’t safe for little ones crawling, and the door does not meet the ground, leaving a large gap. Additionally the yard had some concerns. There is a large knife in a planter on the walkway to the back door and the back yard has a lot of trash from the other tenants that had a strong smell when we first arrived. Inside was clean and fine for the stay.

So Bad We Left Early
As seasoned time-share and vacation rental users, we were highly dissatisfied with the condition of this property. I will give a few objective examples (of which I have photos):
-In most places the exterior decking is completely worn to the point that the nail heads are above the level of the wood. Absolutely a hazard.
-Some of the kitchen drawers and cabinets do not work well properly due to bad rollers or broken/loose hinges.
-The carpets in the dining room and living room are dirty with some staining.
-The front and rear doors do not close easily and must be jammed shut
-Even with the rear door shut there is air gap almost completely around the perimeter
-The front storm door has no latch and cannot shut properly
-The toilet seat is so old that the staining has discolored it.
-The bathmat is filthy and worn.
-The fan in the bathroom did not function. With several adults using one tiny bathroom and no way to open the window, this was unpleasant, at best.
-There is an old broken heater in the wall of the bathroom. Besides being an eye sore and dirty, is a hazard to small children.
-Unlike the pictures shown, the upper deck furniture was in very poor condition. One lounge has mold stains. The other had a badly torn cushion, and the sofa rotted at the frame.
-There is no beach caddy available even though advertised as such.
There was nothing “historic” about this place. It needs serious upgrading/renovation. The interior is cluttered with dingy furniture and knick-knacks.
Had a great stay at this property. The owners were very responsive and communicative. It was a little tight for our family of 7 sharing one bathroom, but we knew it would be going into it. Everything was as described and parking was always available right out front. The two decks are great spots to hangout. It was nice that beach tags were included. The beach chairs, boogey boards and beach caddy were very helpful. Thank you for a great family vacation experience!
We really enjoyed staying here. The host was an excellent communicator, the place was clean and just perfect for our family of 7 (ages 16-48).
Thanks Again!
The property was exactly as advertised & had just about everything you need. The spiral staircase, would make this harder for the elderly but for in shape adults and kids, you'll love it. Plus the property managers are extremely prompt in returning questions. Look at the pictures, and if you like what you see you'll love this place.
Very comfortable and very clean. All dishes, glasses and cooking supplies were abundant and in great condition. We were not aware of the narrow, circular steps going to our second floor unit. This was very hard on us all, especially me at 70 and difficult to carry suitcases and food. It was unfortunate that this home was right next door to a house that was condemned and in sad disrepair. Still we enjoyed our brief getaway. I live in Texas now but still believe wholeheartedly that there is no place on earth like the Jersey shore!!!
Firstly we loved that this was a pet friendly house! When We walked it we noticed it was very CLEAN !! It was very comfortable for 6/8 people. The pull out couch was a nice bonus! We loved the two balconies outside and that it was on a quite side of town.. which was very peaceful. The organization for everything in the house was very helpful with labels all over the house so you know where everything goes back. It was a great week in OCNJ, boardwalk was a 10minute walk and there’s a school where we would walk the dog too , she seemed to like very much. We enjoyed are stay and would recommend it to anyone.. and the owners are a friendly couple who truly cares about the little details! They also responded within minutes with any questions we had! Great stay!!
Lovely little place, good for a small, laid-back group.
We went on a group vacation (three couples) and this was just the perfect size for us. The kitchen was well stocked with cooking utensils and supplies, and we had no issues with the wi-fi. The walk to the beach and boardwalk is direct, though a bit long if you have anyone who doesn't like walking. The house was very easy to get to, and there was never any issue finding parking in front of the house. The video games were awesome to have around. Everything went very well, and we had a great time!
Easy to get too from causeway. Well kept and had all we needed. Loved the breeze on front porch and upper deck. If planning on days at beach, a bit of a walk with kids but public parking available. A nice addition might be a parking pass. Overall we enjoyed our time with 3 generations of family!
We had a great week staying here, kids loved the bunk room with smart tv, and the whole family enjoyed some of the retro gaming options. Place was comfortable despite a very hot week between overhead fan & AC options. Hosts were very quick with communications, the booking process & checkin were all nice and simple. We would definitely come back again!
Stayed here for a short getaway to OCNJ. Communication with owners was outstanding throughout the process. Property has a great beach vibe and two nice decks to enjoy the refreshing shore air and breezes. Easy walk to the beach and boardwalk as well as downtown shopping.

Very cozy, easy access to beach and boardwalk. A great experience
We had a family of 6 stay at the Sandcrab estates and the apartment was just perfect for our needs. A 10-15 minute walk from the nicest beach and the best part of the Boardwalk in Ocean City made it extremely convenient to go to al the activities but also duck back home for a quick shower or respite from the sun.
The property itself was lovingly maintained and so well organized. Communication with the owners was first rate - they were very detailed in their expectations and instructions on everything were clearly marked. We were able to text with Debbie and she would respond immediately.
We have several VRBO stays under our belt and we can say by far this was the easiest and most well-organized property we have experienced. We loved our stay and would not hesitate to return!

Would not rebook
Fairly cramped with uncomfortable beds. Had to speak to owners RE fire alarm and stated any call to maintenance would be out of our deposit. They answered call quickly but were unhelpful resolving the issue (alarm went off for about 40 minutes). We eventually had to call fire station. Would not return.

The property is AWESOME
Our family loved our trip here. The owners were super nice, the place was super clean, and everything we needed we found. We will be back next year to rent from them again. Heaven on earth. We love the decor.
