A little drive to Seaside, which we preferred to get a little out of the craziness. Bike rentals very close & bike paths everywhere. Absolutely beautifully decorated house & plenty of space for the 9 of us. Just FYI - there is construction near this property, but it never really bothered us. The kitchen is fairly well stocked, but I would recommend bringing some supplemental supplies if you plan on doing a lot of cooking. The AC had trouble keeping up with us during the day, but it always caught up at night & we woke up to a nice cool house. The garage is full of leftover rafts, chairs, & beach toys which were nice to not have to go out and buy (we added a few to the mix). The pool is a short, shaded walk away & the pool area was just incredible. Our favorite food spots were The Donut Hole, Shunk Gulley, Basmati's, & the Local Catch. Beach access is close by, but the parking is limited - we were able to make it work each day though (I wouldn't recommend walking - a bit too far for that). There are nearby gas stations, Walmart & Publix for all of your grocery/vacation needs - which was super nice. And, even though we had 9 people showering every single day, we never had an issue with the hot water or water pressure - which was a nice surprise. The 2 queen size bedrooms do not have TVs or ceiling fans & the walls are fairly thin, so I would recommend bringing a fan or a noise machine if this is an issue. The bunk room does not have a door on it, if privacy is an issue. But, we seriously had no complaints. We traveled as a family for the first time to celebrate my mom's 50th birthday & this house was a huge part of our trip's success! Thank you Light House!
