We stayed at Jake’s place for the month of July, and it was the PERFECT home base for our family. We came with two young kids, and this home had everything we needed. A pack and play, beach toys, cooler, snorkeling masks, towels, chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards... and 3-4 different coffee appliances to keep us from falling asleep after a long day in the sun.
Location is great, <10 minute walk from the shopping plaza with lots of great restaurants, CVS, and a natural food grocery store. There are beaches everywhere, so be sure to explore! The outdoor shower helped to get all the sand off before going into the house. The back yard is huge, and we definitely took advantage of the grill and oversized patio. Still missing that sea breeze.
Jake was really easy to get in touch with and quick to respond — we appreciated the hospitality. My only hesitation in recommending is that I want to stay here over and over, so don’t reserve too many dates :)
