Gaslight and Lake House
There were 17 of us and everybody had a great time, we already booked for next year. The houses were in an ideal location for the beach and boardwalk, very clean and well stocked. The owner was so easy to work with.

Absolutely Amazing!!!
What a perfect stay!! You WILL NOT REGRET Making a reservation at Mathew’s home!!!! Lots of room to spread out, the screened porch is the perfect cherry on top. If i had to make one suggestion….i couldn’t find a crock pot….Lol! Trust me this place is off the charts perfect for larger groups. There is literally every other cooking and serving utensil, tool, pot, pan, coffee maker…..it’s ALL THERE!! Oh yeah….the beds are super comfy too.

Loved the location
The location was great! So easy to run up and grab lunch and get right back to the beach quickly. Nice size for our large group, however we had a few days out of the week where we d come up from the beach to shower and after a few showers there was no hot water. I only gave it 3 stars on cleanliness as we stayed in the cottage and my daughter found dried up contacts on the ledge near her top bunk, the loft was pretty dirty too however we didn’t have anyone who needed to stay up there so it was nt a big deal for us. The main living areas and bathrooms were clean. The outdoor shower behind the cottage didn’t work and there were no beach chairs. I will say Mathew was very easy to contact and quick to respond on any questions we had which we did appreciate. Overall we managed to have a great trip.
