Absolutely incredible location. The house was basic and just enough for our needs. Not fancy and could use some updates, but just fine especially with young kids. They even had toys which my kids loved ha! Literally the beach is a stones throw away. It was much hotter than expected, but if we opened all the doors, it aired out and cooled down quickly. All the neighbors we met at the beach were so friendly and welcoming. We felt so safe with our little kids as the water is basically still (no waves). We hope to make it back to manly beach and would love to stay again. Thank you!
