Karen's beach house was amazing! So sparkling clean and perfectly situated for a quick stroll down to the beach. And if you're tired after a day at the beach, the rooftop has spectacular views and was awesome for watching the sunset. The location is great, many things within walking distance or a short drive and the neighborhood is quiet despite being a few blocks off the main drag.
The listing says it's not suitable for children under 2 (due to the stairs), but Karen was gracious enough to host us with baby in tow. The stairs weren't an issue for our active crawler, especially with four adults and one helpful 3-year-old keeping a watchful eye. Karen even got us two Pack'n'Plays and a Bumbo seat which was super helpful and convenient. It was also nice to be able to do laundry while we were there for the week with kids.
A few things to note, none of which would deter me from renting this place again: The doors are slatted and the floors are tile, so sound does carry from room to room, floor to floor. There is also a pesky seagull that likes to peck it's beak on the bathroom window! Not a big deal, but don't be alarmed if you hear some loud banging suddenly! They were easily scared off though and stayed off the rooftop patio.
