We stayed at Karin's place for the week and had a great time. The house is exactly as described and is clean and well taken care of. The location is excellent - just steps to the bay and a short walk to the beach. We loved being able to use the beach chairs/umbrella/towels/boogie boards so we didn't have to bring our own and rented the paddle boards and surfboards from Karin and they were all great. We knew exactly what to expect and there were no surprises with the home. We appreciated the air conditioning as not all homes by the beach have it and being able to cook some meals at home and even grill out on the patio. We were lucky enough to have another family with children the same age as ours share the outside space with us and we had a great time getting to know them as well. We also loved bringing our dog along as well. The garage is tight, but we knew this and have an oversized vehicle and after some maneuvering were able to get it in the garage. We would definitely stay at Karin's place again!
