We love the close proximity to the beach. My daughter and I were able to take our dog for a quick walk to the beach each morning and watch the fireworks at night. There was little traffic on the road by the house which was nice especially in June and being so close to restaurants and stores. The host was easy to work with quick responses. House was relaxing and well equipped with blankets/towels. My kids also enjoyed the vast selection of games that were provided.
