My husband and I, with our two kiddos (ages 5 and 2.5), stayed here to celebrate his 40th birthday. The home is so lovely, magazine-perfect in decor. The layout is excellent too, with the ability to easily be together as a group, or a little removed for quiet time. The proximity to the beach was so great, and even our littles had an easy time walking to our destinations (namely, the ocean and the Aquarium). We used the spigot outside along the driveway to hose off sandy kids and feet. We were able to both cook our own meals easily (all the basics we needed were there) and get takeout to enjoy at the home together. The checkout procedures were simple and not time-consuming. There were books, games, cards, and DVDs available in the home for entertainment, should you need it. The TV was connected to all the streaming services, as well as live TV, so that we could watch easily.
Only two complaints: the beds are really not very comfortable at all, and that's not usually something we're picky about. It genuinely feels like you're sleeping on a thin mattress full of springs. A mattress topper or an entirely new mattress on both beds (we didn't try the sofa bed) would fix that quickly.
The other complaint is that the bathtub doesn't have a non-slip mat in the bottom, or other method to make it not slippery. Both kids and one of us adults slipped in it, and with all that gorgeous tile it could have been a serious injury. I know it's not the most aesthetically pleasing thing, but that would be an essential item for guest safety, in my opinion.
One of the burners on the stove didn't work, but since the others did that wasn't a huge issue.
We'd easily stay here again, and be hopeful the owners listened and that the beds were more comfortable next time!
