This was a great sized house for our extended family (3 couples and two kids) and it is clear that some thought has gone into the set up and decor. All these things were very nice! Family friendly games, wet bar area nice touches, as were extra blankets. Biggest issue and this was a big one for me: Though this house is less than a full block from the ocean, there is no beach! A sea wall with steps down to a rugged rocky coastline is pretty to look at but not at all useful to our family — especially the kids who were just teased by the sand toys left for our use in the backyard. We might have just as well stayed miles inland if we knew we were going to have to drive and find parking to relax in the sand. Nice place and cute little shopping dining area with in walking distance, but no beach!
