Great place to stay. Lots of room. A few upgrades needed but overall great stay. few minutes to the closest beach by car. You can also walk but don't recommend. Safeway, Walmart, Starbucks all within a short driving distance. Short driving distance to pier area and local shops. Free public parking limited and have to get there early morning to grab spot. Recommend parking at Marriott paid parking, it's 25 dollars for entire day. Across from Marriott hotel is a nice little rental place for beach equipment, plus the Gals are extremely nice. Lots of things to do if planned out right. The rental house has 4 bath and showers which was great so you and your family don't have to wait. Plenty of towels and sheets. Equipped with mostly everything you need. Recommend you take a inventory of everything that is there (spices, oils, garbage bags, etc) before going shopping. Just save you time having to make an extra trip to store. Overall it was a nice place and I would stay there again. Price a little steep especially when you are only there half the time.
