We thoroughly enjoyed staying at Marty's house! From the last minute booking to checkout he and Carolyn were always available and helpful. We rent vacation homes regularly and the communication and hospitality is the best we've ever had.
The house and location have been thoroughly reviewed so in the spirit of bringing value here'sa couple things that stood out to us outside of the great location etc..
First off the beach is 100% functional for families. There's a crosswalk with a light right in front of the house. There's a full time lifeguard always on duty. There's even a place to wash your feet and body off by the lifeguard tower. From the front of the house to waters edge is probably 50 yards with all the above amenities in between. Also the beach is completely visible from the pool area, our older kids were shelling along the beach and we could see where they were at all times. We've stayed in many oceanfront properties but none were as usable as this one.
Lastly the pool is an absolute game changer. We had a couple days that were om the colder side and we literally just turned the pool temp up and didn't skip a beat. The versatility it offers with both a pool and spa setting is awesome!
Overall this house is a rare combination of location, amenities and value while being coupled with great hosts. Well done and thanks again!
