We planned a last-minute family beach trip and were happy to find this place! We had a great time with the kids and were able to try the paddle board (my favorite), have dinners on the patio, take sunrise walks with the dog on the bayside and the beach, surf, sun, and relax! It ended up not being very hot, but we appreciated the option to use the AC in the upstairs bedroom! We enjoyed meeting neighbors, checking out local coffee shops and restaurants, and being part of the beach community. It was nice to have a garage to store the kids' surf boards and gear. We did make use of the small beach tent, chairs and paddle board. Having all that stuff there was great! We didn't use the wagon, but it was a thoughtful addition. The house is a duplex (shared bedroom wall with the neighbor). We recommend using the upstairs living room (plus it has a cool bar and outdoor space!). It is a funky place with a special charm...great for a family gathering. This is a lovely community and there are a lot of friendly local residents. Be a considerate vacation renter! :-)
