"We had a great stay with no issues at this home. We had to baby proof a bit for little kids but we made it work. It was easy to cross the street to the beach which was a short walk, and the beach and pool weren’t too crowded. It was perfect for a quiet family beach trip. The house was clean, beautiful, and spacious with so many balconies! It was nice to have the chairs and beach wagon as well as easy parking. I also appreciated the supplies in the kitchen.
