The house was conveniently located within a gated area of similar homes, with a nice large community swimming pool and courtesy shuttle to the beach. Be sure to bring everything you need, beach towels, beach chairs, umbrellas, folding chairs for sitting out on the driveway (there is no backyard), spices for cooking, dish towels (they only provided 1), etc. They did provide plenty of bath towels and with the on-site washer/dryer we could do laundry, but 1 dish towel for 11 people is not enough. We also bought a broom to sweep up the sand. They provided a mop and a vacuum, but we prefer a broom. Also, bring extra $ for the beach. You have to setup your own chairs/umbrella within a small area marked by cones away from the water, behind the lifeguard stand. If you want to be near the water, you have to pay $60 for 2 chairs and 1 umbrella, to the beach attendants, for 5 hours. The listing says it accommodates 11, but it would be more comfortable for 9. One of the beds in the room with 2, was so LOUD it made it impossible for all 4 people to sleep. While the mattress was comfortable, we could not rollover or get out of bed without it sounding like we were getting up from an air mattress. My daughter who was sleeping in another room, thought it was someone spraying whipped cream out of a can. I know it sounds weird, but that does kind of describe the noise.
