We loved the location. It was great to have the whole house and to hear and see the ocean. We felt the towels and sheets need to be updated. We also appreciated all the extra equipment that we could use at the beach. We used the beach umbrella, the wagon, 3 sets of snorkel gear, lots of beach toys for kids, and big beach towels. There was also a gate at the top of the stairs that we used to help keep our 2 year old grandson safe.
