Great stay for a family weekend

We had a great time staying at this property. We enjoyed walking to nearby parks, the zoo, and the beach. The property was set up well for our two families, where one stayed in the loft with two adults and their three kids and the other downstairs with two adults and two kids. The kitchen was well-equipped. We all enjoyed the hot tub.
