This was a lovely, large, immaculate home, only a one or two minute walk away from the beach and boardwalk. Inside was thoughtfully stocked with necessities (and treats!). The house was quiet, clean and well cared for, furnishings were tasteful and comfortable, and we had everything we needed for a relaxing time. The expansive parking lot for the beach was directly beside the home, but you could not hear it from inside. The beach and boardwalk area had small shops, ice cream, arcade, walk-up and sit-down restaurants; if you wanted a little vacation where you parked and did not leave, you would have everything you needed within walking distance. If you wanted to explore further out as we did, we found it a perfect distance for day trips to Portsmouth, Salem, and Boston. The host was communicative and responsive starting when we booked the house! Overall, it was a great experience, and we'd stay again if we're ever in the area.
