This home was perfect for a family of 6 (1 adult child and 3 younger ones.) we were 2 min walk from the bay and 5 min walk from the beach. There is a shower outside to rinse off sand, and at the time of our stay, many sand toys and 4 beach chairs, 2 umbrellas, 2 boogie boards, and swim fins. The garage was big enough to pull in our Honda Odyssey and still fit all our bikes (6).
If you’re trying to decide between this place and another, we felt that this place’s patio was generous in size and provided plenty of space for us all to gather. The couch inside was great for family movie night, and everyone’s rooms were sufficiently private from each other. There was great airflow and never did we want air conditioning. The neighborhood is very quiet, and the beaches this far south were never crowded at either the bay or ocean. There is easy access to bike paths, a public (free) lot for guests to park at, and a wonderful market just 5 min north that has anything you’ll want during your stay, including fresh donuts in the morning. We were sad to go, but we will be back!
