This is our second stay in the past 6 months, so that should speak enough for itself.
The only difference is this time, we brought our 4 young children along!
The home was almost exactly the same as when we stayed a couple months back, but there were some minor changes, since we used things we hadn't before.
The hide a bed had a big foam topper on it but as an adult, I wouldn't want to sleep on it. The kids had no complaints and thought it was cool.
Though there were enough sheets and blankets for what we needed in the closet, there was not a designated linen set for the pull out bed.
Because my kids are young, I worried about safety without having a tall door latch on the front door for the stairs/ocean/street, and without cleaning cabinets having a latch or lock, but if your kids are older, this shouldn't be a concern.
A baby gate would be a great addition! I would bring my own next time for sure!
There is a pack and play and a booster seat with tray for babies/toddlers. It was very nice to not have to bring those things with us! I would note that the pack and play doesn't have bedding, and it is older (and larger) so your own pack & play sheet will not fit. If you need this, a normal sized crib sheet should do the trick!
The addition of beach chairs, beach toys and adult bikes was very nice! The less you have to bring on family vacation, the better! We brought our kids' bikes! The street is shut down from 9-5, so the kids can ride bikes and scooters without fear of cars and that was awesome!
There was plenty of room for our family of 6 (kids, 7 and under), both bed wise and seating in the living room, kitchen and deck.
The best features with having 6 people? Cleanliness, the designated parking space and washer and dryer! All are absolutely necessary and at the top of my list when booking for my family!
