Kathy and Pat's place is excellent for families. Super close to the beach and the shops and restaurants on Queen st is great. The back yard has a gate that leads directly onto the playground in Beaches park. The beach itself is half a block away. One thing to be aware of: parking is very limited and only small cars will fit into the space provided. And onstreet parking requires a temporary permit which must be printed out. I'd recommend doing this before leaving home!
