House was comfortable and met our needs for 8 adults, 6 children. The kids were a little to brave going out on the pier, and crossing a busy street to get to the gulf side, so it took a day for them to understand the safety rules. There was a cross walk in front of the house, and for the most part, drivers stopped to let us walk across to get to the gulf side. A small park with playground equipment was also across a non busy road right by the house.
No lifeguards were near the entrance where we stepped onto the beach, but we all had a watchful eye. House was walking distance to shops and restaurants. Our host, Monica, was awesome. She responded quickly
to any questions we had. Check in and out was great. The house helped in making great memories for us all.
