We had a fantastic stay at Marnie's place. She was easy to communicate with and the place was perfect for two families (we had two young kids). the beach really is very close (and easily walkable) from the house but we chose to drive to the main beach instead. the outdoor shower was very handy to wash off all the sand. Plenty of yard space to kick the ball around. The kids certainly loved the outdoor playspace but we had a run of some really hot days and couldn't use it as much as we liked. Still, a very handy feature for the days when you just want to hang out at the house instead.
