Great location, though it is not right on the beach. The view from the home is of the sand volleyball courts. You can not see the beach from the house. Our greatest disappointment was the noise. It is right on the beach walk and there is traffic on it all night long (who knew that bicycles came equipped with stereo's!!) It is also on the flight path of the airport. Planes started going over every morning at 6 am (which would apply to all the rentals in this area). There were 4 adults and 4 children in our group and there was plenty of room for all of us. It is an older home but was completely adequate for our group and the kids loved playing sand volleyball. Al has plenty of toys and equipment to keep everyone happy. We didn't cook any meals in the kitchen, but it appeared that there was everything you'd need if you wanted to cook. He furnished plenty of beach towels which we appreciated. There is an outside shower which we found very handy with the children. I would recommend this for anyone with a big group, it's much cheaper than getting two rooms at a hotel, which we would have had to do.
