This house is as advertised. My husband and I stayed in it and it was perfect for two people. We used the paddle boards and picked out 2 bikes that worked for us. There are beach chairs, towels, beach bags provided also. The patio is found out the front door to the left. Instructions were clear from Patty. We didn't use the the patio much but to grab the wagon, umbrella or beach chairs. We preferred to be sitting out more. Loved being so close to the bay and the beach. We walked everywhere. Plenty of eateries at all prices nearby. Highly recommend Olives Cafe, just a couple of blocks from apartment. Best to go on weekdays or early on the weekend. Their bakery across the street is also excellent. Highly recommend the kolaches, sweet or savory, and the cinnamon rolls. Mission restaurant also good and walkable.
