The house itself was fine with plenty of space for my family of four plus parents and brother, and Scarborough Beach was very nice. It could use some more silverware, a knife hone or some way of sharpening the kitchen knives, and larger baking pans, but these are easy to rectify. However, because of the way the neighborhood was laid out, walking and biking access to the beach was only along a narrow sidewalk immediately adjacent to a 4 lane road with faster moving traffic, not ideal for walking with small kids. The house was also oddly hot despite the heat not seeming to be on, regularly being much warmer inside than out, and air circulation was poor with all the windows blocked by AC units. Those all worked fine, but don't allow more natural cooling (and the salty smell) from the sea breeze
