Great mothers/daughters' trip! The house was decorated in a cute beach theme. While sitting out on the screened-in porch having coffee, anyone walking by said "hello" or waved - we loved the friendliness of the neighborhood. The house was conveniently located between First and Second Beach. Be advised that you cannot park at Second Beach this summer. However, you can easily drop off stuff, park back at the house and walk (.7 miles - about a 15 minute walk). My kids loved boogie boarding - the waves were big! It was also within walking distance of a few casual restaurants, although we preferred to drive down to Thames Street (about a 10ish minute drive) to eat. Excellent response time from the hosts. Would love to return next summer!
