Asbury Arlington

we spent july and august at the arlington. it is a wonderful palce to stay. unlike the other reviewer we did not use the «house cleaner» and had no problems. it is near the beach, very clean, and our apartment (2 beds 2 baths) was very large and fully equipped. eleanore, the owner, was quite responsive to any requests or questions we had.
it was a very pleasurable experience.

The Arlington By the Sea Condo complex is a beautifully kept building that is not far from the beach. However, in my opinion, the well kept grounds come at too high of a price. Firstly, if you do not use the in-​house indentured servant to clean your apartment you will be ostracized and treated like a second class citizen. I mean how else are they going to get into your living space, that you’re paying a premium for, and nose about your business? By the way, we would have used the strange cleaning lady if she did charge $ 100 to clean our apartment once. Apparently it took her several hours to clean the patio after we had only lived there a short time anyways. Ridiculous and smells of racketeering if you ask me. Secondly, there is a crazy amount of rules that must be followed strictly by all tenants but plain do not apply to the live in owners. Parking being the big one. You get your one space and no god can save you from the fury that will come your way if your car drips a single drop of oil. However if the owners have people over they’ll park in your space or behind you to make things damn inconvenient. Why? Because they can. Maybe they don’t like gay people. If that’s the case then they probably need move out of Asbury Park and try to take advantage of some suckers elsewhere. Did I mention the walls are paper thin too? The first few months of living there I was woken up in the morning by our neighbor tapping his toothbrush on the sink. Not to mention the other fun noises that sometimes wafted from his bathroom to our bedroom. If after all of this you’re still considering calling this building home. After years of being watched like a whore in church and constantly being gossiped about don’t expect your deposit to be returned. Apparently in the words of the owners things weren’t in «new condition any longer». When are things that have been used for 3 years ever in new condition? It’s called reasonable wear and tear. This is a house of greed and lies and I strongly urge you to seek residence elsewhere unless you too be caught up in the deep issues of the people who run this place.
