This place is great! I stayed with my wife and 2.5 year old and it was perfect for us. Cable TV with Nick and Disney and Wifi were big wins for those times of day we were inside and needed to entertain our child. Literally across the street from the entrance to the zoo. We bought an annual pass for $55 for a family which allows unlimited entry for the two adults listed and up to 4 kids (instead of $18 per adult entry per day) + 10% off gift shop and food. We ended up going probably 7 times in the 10 days we were there because it is a great zoo. Also about 1-2 blocks from the beach. Matt had some great beach gear including an umbrella so we could stay on the beach longer without getting crushed by sun all day. He also had some sand toys for kids and scuba gear and some boards (not surf boards) as well. If you are looking to cook gourmet meals, this isn't the kitchen for you but the small fridge and small stove/oven is good enough for making simple meals, though there isn't a big table to eat meals at but you can easily make do with what is there. He provides a very nice Keurig coffee machine with a variety of K-cups so you can get your coffee fix and then some. He responds extremely quickly to messages. The rooftop is a must. There's good food on the 2nd floor and plenty of food options walking distance (though I'm from NYC so walking distance is different to me, for example, I don't mind walking 1 mile each way to the Safeway to bring back food and to Leonard's to pick up Malasadas!) Book this room because you're going to get more than you're paying for and it is so much better than any of the hotels you may be thinking of staying at instead.
