Lorraine and Greg were prompt and flexible with check in. They gave us avocados off their tree (which were delicious) and greeted us with a ton of coupon cards for local restaurants. We used a few of them. There was also beer in the refrigerator and some breakfast items, which was nice for us to use the next day, as we got in later than expected. There were a lot of restaurants within walking distance. We ate at the bakery several mornings while we were there so it's a MUST. Chi-Town Pizza was also really great. They have tasty pizza, large meatballs, and wonderful milkshakes. We also ate at the brewery around the corner. The staff there were very courteous and the food was good.
We traveled with two toddlers, which can be challenging in itself, but they were able to enjoy the swimming pool and the backyard to play in. There were plenty of floats and toys to play with in the pool area which the kids enjoyed. Some of the items in the house were not kid friendly, which was fine, as all we had to do was move them out of arms reach of the kids. Also, noise was not a problem. You can't hear the neighbors, nor do I think the neighbors could hear us. This was a plus, as I was nervous about our noise levels with two active toddler boys.
There were plenty of towels, beach equipment (which we were allowed to take to the beach, coolers, and beach towels. If you have an infant I noticed a high chair available. There were five of us that stayed there, which means one of us utilized the air mattress. The only downside was that the air mattress ran out of air quickly so my friend did have to wake up in the middle of the night to add more air to it. Other than that, everything was wonderful! I would highly recommend staying here. Thank you Lorraine and Greg!
