We enjoyed staying at this house for our family vacation. Here are some pros and cons.
First the pros: This home is literally steps from the beach. The location was perfect for our family, especially when kids needed a bathroom break and we could use the beach house bathrooms instead of the beach public restrooms. Next this home is conveniently located near most everything. There is a grocery store in walking distance, surfing lessons, Belmont Park, restaurants, etc. We loved eating at the two restaurants right by the house—one minute walk from the front door if that with excellent food options and family friendly. Didn’t even have to cross a street to get there. Cleanliness of this home is good. Bed linens, bath towels, and beach towels were clean and in great condition. Beds are comfortable and rooms have plenty of space. Lots of beds. There are dishes, utensils, knives, and some baking and cooking tools. The management company was great to work with and are timely with communication. There is an emergency number that we did not need to use during our stay. The two car garage was a much needed space considering the area does not have good parking options. We were able to park our large Yukon XL on the longer side of the garage with a few inches to spare. Anything bigger than that won’t fit.
Here are the cons: This house is really a two bedroom home with a master like loft on the top floor. There is no door that makes it a bedroom. My husband and I appreciate privacy from our kids so this was not a fun surprise. Next, this house does not have a fully stocked kitchen. We had to buy some basic staples like salt, pepper, oil, etc. Although I left our salt and pepper—you’re welcome;) Then there are the showers, they are old and outdated. At the time, the master bath had draining issues but the management company has said they will fix this before the next guests come.
In the end, we enjoyed staying here.
