If you have kids, this is a great house. It had tons of kids books, toys (inside and outside), bikes, and beach gear. Both my 1 and 3 year olds were happily entertained the entire week. The kitchen was well equipped with pots, pans, spices, and utensils which made making dinner each night easy. Vanessa always responded within minutes and was easy to work with. Only a block or two away from the bay, we were able to be playing in the sand and ocean in minutes with our wagons full of beach toys in tow. It was a bit too far to walk to the ocean, but driving there was easy and being by the bay and the plethora of toys and books were well worth the trade-off in location.
