The home is 100 yard stroll to 2nd Street amenities and boutiques. Parking was not an issue even on the busier weekend as there is parking on adjacent streets. The area is very quiet and relaxing. The porch overlooking the front yard is equipped with a hammock which everyone can just sit and meditate or read. Safety was never an issue. Walk around the area towards the beach area and to Mothers Beach to get a view of the marina. Not far off is an In-n-Out burger place one should try if one hasn't been to one. The air conditioner was not needed very much during our mid-October visit as there is enough air flow when the windows are open. There isn't a bread toaster but I appreciated that there was a regular coffee maker as opposed to a Keirug cup coffee maker so one can bring their own coffee or purchase coffee at the local Rite Aid on 2nd Street. The stand up shower stall is on the smallish side and water had a tendency to spray over on the toilet side but can managed by well-placed towels to prevent sopping the toilet paper. Overall, Tom's place was a great place for my family of four with two adult kids and can't wait to go back soon!!
