The unit was very kid-friendly and had everything we needed for a comfortable trip. We also appreciated the friendly neighbors in the other unit and the very communicative property managers, which made the stay easy.The space itself is a bit older and quirky, and the long stairway to the other unit (with a gated, no-access area) felt a little unusual at first, though it wasn’t an issue overall. It did seem like the unit hadn’t been used in a little while — we noticed some bug traps around, which wasn’t our favorite.Overall, the location truly made the stay and we had a great time being so close to the beach. ##### Elizabeth S.
