The house is beautiful with modern updates, and was extremely clean. The location was great, as everything is within a 10-15 minute walk: shops, restaurants, great beach and a Walgreens (which sells liquor!). Grocery store is also a quick drive away. We went the last week in December, and the ocean was warm enough for swimming. The house had everything we needed for the beach, including chairs, an umbrella, and toys for the kids (ages 2-4). The pool had sun until between 2 and 3pm this time of year, so just plan you days accordingly. Overall, we loved our choice!
