Thanks for your 5 star, we do our best to keep this a family friendly to keep costs low for the larger families, also. Added the sofa bed helps out with the kiddos downstairs and the half bath makes it truly most well planned out from the building perspective. Look forward to your return!

Thanks for your review. Yes, agreed We Have Never Had Snow on the Beach in the 25 Years of living here! Much colder this Winter than normal 65–68-degree days and 50-degree nights which is typical for Snowbird season Jan and Feb. Let's hope we have a mild winter next 2026, since we enjoy meeting our snowbirds while they walk the beaches, etc.
Convenient and clean with good covered parking, i would stay here again
