communication was great with the host, check in was easy and clear; the house is about 100 steps from the beach in front of tower 18 which is for surfing. If you want to boogie board or swim, you must move about 150 yards to either the left or the right. It is about 10 minute walk to Belmont Park and restaurants. The parking is limited and it is shared with another unit. However, we were able to park two cars by getting as close to the wall was as possible and the other party did the same thing and we were all happy. The house is nice but of old construction with no insulation and it stays hot all day and night; there were small fans throughout the house but not strong enough to make any major difference. Over all we enjoyed our stay and made the best of it but I was so ready to get back to my house and have a good night sleep.
