The very best thing was the great location, right across from the beach access - you just cross a street that, at least after labor day, when we went, is not busy, and there you are at the shore, watching the surf - we saw the moon rise our first night. Other good stuff - well-equipped house, great porch, you hear the waves if you keep the windows open on that side. Plenty of books - we'd brought our own, but if we hadn't there is reading material as well as games. Our stay included rainy day but we were never bored or impatient.
