Beach accessibility for the value couldn't have been better. We stayed here with young kids. We would put them to bed at night and lounge for hours afterwards on the deck that overlooks the ocean. The upstairs bedroom/loft area had plenty of space for a Pack-n-Play. The upstairs open-air deck space could almost be considered another bedroom of it's own with the perfect Southern California weather. The downstairs bedroom was great for young kids and bed sharing. The garage was a tighter squeeze for larger vehicles like our minivan rental. But we had no issues in simply keeping the garage door open while in use. The garage and front porch had all the beach gear we could need.
