It was great having a short walk to the pool & beach. The house had beach umbrellas, beach chairs, kids toys, pool floats, etc. and a wagon to haul it all. Bring your own cooler for drinks, etc. The only complaint I'd offer is that the bath towels all had hairs clinging on them from prior guests. I'd recommend bringing your own towels from home. Otherwise, everything was clean! We'd go back again!
