The house is as shown on the site; it is right on a channel; two of the bedrooms face the water.We had seven adults;it was very comfortable even with that many people. There is a half bath upstairs which is convenient in the evenings when everyone was gathered. It's a short drive to LBI; the owner provided an umbrella and two beach chairs that came in very handy. Since there were seven of us, we also brought another umbrella and chairs so that everyone was comfy at the beach. As the owner states, it is a VERY quiet neighborhood. We saw few people.The expectation as is stated in advance is that noise levels outside will be minimal. We don't have a boat but if you do, this would be ideal with a dock right in front of the house.The only thing we were a bit disappointed in was the cleanliness of the house- my adult son and fiancé arrived first and felt the floors, some surfaces and windows were not clean and spent about two- three hours cleaning before the rest of us arrived. With a $300 cleaning fee, my expectation was that it would be very clean upon arrival.The owner responded that a professional cleaning crew had cleaned three days before our arrival and he had inspected afterwards. So perhaps just a difference in expectations.In any case, after a rocky start with some cleaning chores, the rest of our trip was very enjoyable. It is a very large house with plenty of room for a large group, a waterway and dock/deck right out front,an functional kitchen, bathrooms,linens/towels
