This house is AMAZING if you have a big group, especially with kids! The two living areas allow night owls to hang out after others go to bed, and the two kitchens had us tag-teaming a speedy meal. Made use of coffee pots in both! The pool was so fun, with many toys in the garage. Beds were comfortable, and the neighborhood is quiet and safe. There is a small but fun playground in walking distance (Water Tower). The only thing I would advise is *not* to plan for walking kids to the beach as it's a good distance and involves crossing a busy road (adults could likely handle it). Instead park at/near one of the "public access" points, which was very easy and did not detract at all from our stay. Thank you to hosts who communicated VERY quickly!
