The location on the east side was awesome! We walked to the ocean in the morning and watched the sunrise and then it was super easy to drive up north or down south and around to the west side for the day. It was a wonderful home base with a well stocked kitchen. The washer/dryer in the unit was great since we spent alot of our time hiking (super muddy) and in the ocean, so I ended up doing a few loads of laundry. This trip was just my husband and I, but the space would have been great with our kids as well and we would have had plenty of room. Oh and the beach chairs and umbrella that were provided were such a nice touch, we used them every day!! Would love to come back and stay soon!
