This gracious home is my favorite of all time for a 3 generation family beach trip. The hosts were exceptional is attentiveness, preparation and warmth. The house sits across a grassy park from the best family beach in the county, safe and clean with gently fun waves. Much better than on the sand houses because you have some buffer zone privacy from all those people. But when you want to swim, it’s just 2 minutes to the waves, so haul less kid stuff much less far and when they get tired and cranky, 2 minutes and you’re back home. The great big hot tub was a pool for the little ones, with room for parents too. We heated just to 95 and it was perfect even for the baby to swimmy swimmy to hearts content. These new pool-safe diapers are the best invention since the iPhone. The quality of furnishings was excellent and the layout of kitchen dining family room made it comfy to have a crowd. We loved our time preparing meals and sitting down together at the big table. The amount of space and privacy you’ll have, for a beachfront house!? Exceptional. A nice little fenced yard with grass !! Real grass!! For the little ones to run on, barefoot, was a huge luxury and we sat out there a lot. Don’t worry about the little street between you and park, in 7 days we had one loud Harley on Friday night, 2 garbage trucks and that’s it. It’s truly more residential neighborhood than beach, and we appreciated that so much for walks to the playground, the local pizzeria (house of pizza!) and ice cream shop. The price may seem steep but the experience we had warranted every penny. In case you think I’m too enthusiastic? We booked a week next year before we left town and are talking about how, as the families add kids, we may rent this one and the one Claire and her family own and manage next door, another 4 bedrooms for grandkids who’ll be teenagers and in surf school for the week. This home and this host family Is well worth making our new family tradition.
