Our group: Two adults and two kids (2 years old, 9 months old)

Location: It's the first floor of a two-family house, and is actually 30 seconds from the beach. The bay-side of the peninsula is perfect for toddlers (no waves, calm water, few people) while the ocean side is great for older kids (huge beach). The neighborhood is very quiet and really is family friendly. It's also about 5 minutes from Seaworld.

Inside: The photos are accurate and fairly represent the place - no surprises. It's pretty much baby proof as long as you're with your kids (no fragile decorations at a toddler's height). While it's not super modern, it's very clean and well taken care of. There are a few games for the evenings (Monopoly, decks of cards, etc.). There is also a pack and play that includes sheets and a waterproof pad. In the kitchen, there are basic spices, oil, and ketchup and mustard - just enough so that you don't have to buy a full bottle of everything for a single trip.

Outside: There is a large patio with chairs and a table, along with a grill, bikes, and beach toys for kids of all ages (shovels, buckets, volleyballs, etc.). These are treated as community property, so you don't have to bring a car-load of toys. There is also a hose to clean yourself off before you come in from the beach.

Other notes: There is one parking spot where the Prius is located. We were able to easily fit a Honda Odyssey (minivan) in there. It's tight, but there were no problems.
