Report
We rented 5533 Central Ave, Ocean City from Monihan the week of Aug. 22-29. The house was dirty, with food and candy wrappers under the beds and infested with mice. When we called to report this on Monday morning, our rental agent, Chris Mirena, offered to “lend us his cat” and thanked us for reporting this “because a friend of his was renting that… house in a few weeks”. There was no follow up, no call back, nothing. On Tuesday night, we went to the store and bought mouse traps. We set 7 traps, caught 3 mice within an hour and had the bait eaten from the others.

Best Vacation- love the views!! Always a pleasure dealing with Josh Benson and Monihan Realty. Josh treats us like family and year after year makes it easy for us to enjoy our vacation in beautiful and well cared for homes. Great customer service for a last minute rental too!!

Monihan Realty is NOT COMMITTED TO SAFETY OR COVID REGULATIONS FOR CLEANING their properties between renters. This poses a huge risk for vacationers specifically with the dangers associated with COVID 19. I would never recommend this company if they can’t stand behind their own expectations to keep people safe and ensure the properties are spotless! We pay a lot of money to rent in OCNJ! BE CAREFUL!

Our rental property was absolutely disgusting upon arrival. We have gotten no refund and only offered a small credit for next year. Why would we want a credit for a realty company we will NEVER use again??? Monihan lacks professionalism and put our family at risk during the Covid crisis to possible infection.

@MonihanRealty if this is the type of homes U rent to families with children and then refuse to clean it up, you’ll be losing alot of customers after this post. Especially when U have realtors like Jenny Mason telling my wife “then just tell ur babies not to walk over there”
Broken glass all over the driveway.

They are getting 1 star because I can't give them 0. Their lack of integrity, and overall care for their customers is deplorable. Any positive reviews has to be #fakenews.
