This was a dream! The large patio was great for bbqs and people watching. We were able to hop over the wall and run back and forth to the beach all day long. There were basic tools in the kitchen and plenty of towels. We had our todder with us and the place is pretty kid-friendly as there isn't much to break or get hurt on. This is walking distance to great restraunts (try the Doner fries at Amplified Aleworks!), grocery store, and shops. There was no need to ever leave a quarter mile radius, and we really didn't want to! This was our first Air B&B and I cannot say enough about how amazing it was.
