Our stay with Karl was OK, not great. 'Two blocks to the beach' is a bit misleading, especially with young kids on foot. To be enjoyed by families with kids, this place needs a more thorough clean. We would have loved a manual with a wireless code, info about the area and some thoughtful suggestions for our stay. Although not completely unsatisfied (the beds were nice) and Karl was fast to respond to our questions, we will be looking elsewhere for our next visit.
