Great location next to the beach! Kitchen was small- with a family of five we try to do a majority of our own cooking. A smaller kitchen encouraged us to patronize local restaurants, but the refrigerator allowed me to cook in advance, and bring food and snacks for the family. Convenient store, located less than an eighth of a mile up the street, access to beach, chairs, boogie boards, and beach towels made going to the beach, more fun and less work. Great picnic beach area on lower unit deck/porch- our major concern was the air conditioning unit on the second floor above us, not being tethered to the house, and the potential risk for falling out the window onto somebody below- we moved the picnic bench to the right side of the porch for more safety. The window in the bedroom with two twin beds does not lock and looks as though it was a replacement window that measured too big for the opening. I would encourage putting a stick or some object in the window to prevent somebody being able to open it from the outside into the children's room. Dehumidifiers, AC, and fan worked well- and made the share quality comfortable. The pull out couch was great- but didn't allow for a movie night for parents if the kids were using the pull out (maybe put the/ a TV on the wall in the larger bedroom...). Overall- excellent for a beach getaway!
