The location was great for easy access to the beach. It really was just steps from it! Walkable to restaurants. Our daughter loved the sand toys and there were strollers to use as well. You really don't need to bring any beach items with you since they have chairs and a cooler. The outdoor patio was great for barbecuing and eating outside. You do hear the airplanes fly by but our baby slept right through them, especially because of the sound machine also included in the house. The beds aren't the most comfortable because you can feel the springs and they're a bit lumpy but not impossible to sleep in. I would recommend bringing your own nonstick pans for cooking but other than that, a very well equipped kitchen. We had 2 cars so parking was a bit tricky sometimes but that's expected near the beach.
