We had an amazing time at the house, it was very clean with all the amenities you could hope for were included. There is what seems like a camera on the backyard/pool area, which I wish I had known beforehand, specially since I have small kids. There is also a notice saying the noise level is controlled all the time, even during the day. Regarding the location, although is close to the beach, when we went to the Walgreens near the house, it was full of homeless people, to the point where one person started chasing me asking for money until I got to my car. So the surrounding area is not what I would consider safe.
