The small upstairs vacation place satisfied our need to enjoy the cool ocean breeze of summer in Southbay. We rode the bikes, walked the beach, and chilled in the quiet neighborhood. There is plenty of storage space and tiny garage below holds the bikes, beach chairs, and laundry. My older boys managed the loft just fine, but we did tire of the steep hill, searching for a parking space, and the distance from downtown and grocery. It was easy to set up our own TV and it even survived the checked luggage trip home. It was nice to have the second bathroom. The beach volleyball courts and wide quiet beaches offer the main relaxing place to enjoy.
