Matt's place is awesome, and the house has a lot of character. There were 5 of us ladies in the house and we were all very comfortable and didn't feel crowded. The neighborhood is very walkable....day or night, and yes, it is only a short walk to the beach as well as many restaurants and shops along the way. The deck out back is nice and partially covered for those who may not want too much sun with the morning java. Overall, great location and I would stay again.
