This is a great place close to the beach. We have a small child and the place was safe for him, walking distance to the pier and beaches, as well as a short drive from playgrounds, walking trails, and the grocery store. We enjoyed using the kitchen for preparing meals. The bedroom is not very dark so bring some curtains if you like a dark room. Also if you have a child who uses the bath, best to bring a stopper for the tub. The hosts were very responsive before and during our stay. We met some folks who stay there often and they said it was a good place to stay (they had kids as well). The laundry worked well for us as well. We had a great time!
