Our family of four (with a 1.5 and 3 year old) stayed at the Devine's lovely beachside home in June. We were blessed with amazing weather - sunshine and breezes for the entire 5 days we were there. The beachside home is easily accessible from the highway but without the hazards as it faces the ocean. There was no issue with privacy! We arrived late in the afternoon the day we checked in - our hosts were gracious enough to drop off a bottle of wine and a pizza so that we wouldn't have to venture out again that day with our two small children! The top floor that is rented out has a wrap around balcony that is fantastic for all-day play, lounging with a good book, patio dinners, and star gazing in the middle of the night. The suite (with the two bedrooms behind sliding doors) is light and airy, and lovingly decorated as a beachhouse. The one downside is the small kitchen - but it does the job. There's are hotplate, a microwave, a small convec oven. There's even a bbq on the patio for guests' private use. Our hosts were generous in sharing their lovely backyard with the children, who played in their wading pool with their water toys every afternoon. The house is on the beach - and though the beach is very pebbly (bring water shoes!), the views, the aquatic life, and waves are right in front of you. We enjoyed watching a pair of bald eagles soar back and forth across the sky in front of us every day, and the girls especially enjoyed collecting rocks and finding crabs/starfish on our daily walks. All in all this was a perfect week on the west coast! Thank you Anndee for making it so comfortable.
