This house is absolutely perfect in regards to its location.. It is a very quiet neighborhood and only a short 1-1/2 block walk to the beach. It is only 2 miles to downtown But that is sometimes a 15 minute drive considering traffic. Grocery stores are 15-20 minutes away. The house was super clean and the backyard patio very pleasant. It has a fenced in backyard. There are 2 drawbacks. The first is that the kitchen equipment is very limited. There are only a few coffee cups and wine glasses as an example. Minimal cookware is available. The other thing that we found to be a Somewhat negative feature is no washer or drier available. For a family vacation close to the beach this is an excellent location
