My husband and I vacationed here with our two children (2 1/2 yrs and 5 months old) and my husband's mom and sister. The house had plenty of room for all of us. Love the layout and overall feel of the place.
The pool was super close and easy to walk to if you do not feel like taking the golf cart. While the pool area did get crowded, we were still able to find an open chair in the afternoon when we got back from the beach. Also loved having the Hub/ Big Chill area just across the street. There were several restaurants to choose from if we did not feel like going out and fighting the crowds at other local restaurants, and my older son loved getting to go to Build-A-Bear.
As far as beach access, we tried out the Seabreeze Beach Access and the Deer Lake State Park. The Seabreeze access was a short golf cart ride and is free, but lots of steps to carry beach gear. State Park is $5 for all day (unlimited trips) and $3 for one trip if you don't plan on coming back and forth. No steps, but a long boardwalk, and we preferred this beach to the Seabreeze spot.
The house was beautifully decorated and had lots of beach chairs and toys/floats. Property management was very responsive. Definitely recommend this house, and we are keeping it in mind when we come back again in the future!
