This historic home boasts 5 bedrooms, 4 full baths with the capacity to sleep up to 14 people. Note: Towels and linens are not provided.

This five-bedroom uniquely designed home is located only 4 blocks from the Boardwalk and the ocean, easily accessible by a multi-use bike/pedestrian trail just across the street. There is a fenced-in patio on the side of the house, and a deck on the back with an outdoor shower.

Every bed has pillows and comforters. Towels and linens are not provided for this property. Towels and linens can be rented from Seaside Linen. Total sheet sets needed: 3-Queen beds (queen sheets will work on XL double), 1-Queen sofa bed, 1-Double bed, 1-Double futon bed, and 4-Twin/trundle beds.

History-
Monty Sly built this house for his family in 1938. The family lived in the downstairs and rented out the upstairs rooms during WW II to young wives whose husbands were in the service. If you are looking for something out of the ordinary, romantically rich in history and close the beach this is your place!

The house was perfect and clean, with plenty of room for everyone. It was a quick, easy walk to the boardwalk area and the communication from the owners was above and beyond. All of us who stayed this time have bookmarked this house for future visits with family or friends again. Thank you!
