We loved this place. It was exactly as advertised and so close to the beach! After talking with friends from SoCal we were worried about noise but we didn’t hear any traffic noise or neighbors once the windows were shut (and hardly any noise with them open). Hubby was worried about no AC but this really wasn’t an issue either. There are fans In the house and even with the house closed up all day it only took opening windows for a few minutes to cool it and then at night just having the fans was plenty for my hubby who really likes air conditioning. We had ourselves and our kids with us (ages 22, 20, 13, 11, 9) and the house was plenty big enough for us. There were only 6 chairs at the dining table but one of us would just stand or sit on the couch when we all ate together. We were also able to park a minivan in the garage no problem (it was tight but easily doable). Overall a lovely place and really nice experience. I would definitely rent here again:).
