The place is right on the beach with a staircase to the beach one house away. Our kids loved rolling out early in the morning straight to the sand and then back again in the afternoon to play in the water. The house is exactly as pictured in the listing. I would highly recommend this for a joint family trip as the floors are separated with one main bedroom with he balcony, one smaller bedroom and one bath on the top two floors. The living room does open right onto the boardwalk and passersby are close but the curtains can easily be drawn fro privacy. Great stay. Jaleh was great. The house was exactly what we were looking for!
