We visited with my niece and her 8-yr son so that he could “wake up on the beach,” a place he loves, before moving out state. This house and location were perfect: steps away from the beach, all the kids’ toys he needed for the sand and water (including boogie boards and kites!), beach chairs for adults, a wagon to carry our haul morning and evening, comfortable beds, abundant kitchen necessities, plentiful seating and towels for family, upstairs/downstairs picnic tables, and a peaceful beach and deck for adults. The house is located approximately middle of two public beach parking lots, so the beach in front of the house is less active — and empty at sunrise. Although house is next to the highway, the ocean waves and house orientation blocked the noise for this noise-sensitive person. We all thoroughly enjoyed the tranquility, beauty, comfort and relaxation. Communication with owner was smooth, and directions and entrance were straightforward. We would highly recommend!
