If you want to spend time at wonderful state beaches, this is the place to go. You can walk for ~15 min to get to the beach or use the parking pass they leave for you and drive a few minutes to get there. The hosts have also supplied lots of beach-based supplies such as boogie boards, chairs, towels, and toys.
We used the house for a planning retreat for our college dormitory. There were 8 of us who cooked, ate, and worked together and the house worked perfectly for all of those activities.
