We found this to be the perfect last minute rental for a getaway close to the beach. As with any beach rental of an older property that’s been renovated over the years, it may not be picture perfect in person..there were little areas that needed attention, like the blinds were all dusty, for example. However, the main things that we needed were all there and clean. One bonus were the beach chairs that we made use of. We did bring 2-to-3 prong adaptors as per the review of another and left a couple behind to share. This location truly is a 10 minute walk to the beach! It is all on a downhill slope of sorts, especially as you near the beach, fyi. For myself, husband and two boys it was no trouble and we walked it back and forth a couple of times. When we had our main beach day, we drove to the little parking lot there with our gear. No trouble finding a spot as it was only about 10 in the morning on Tuesday, so can’t speak to the weekend traffic. After parking we made a left to walk past the surfing area at the pier towards calmer waves just north of there, which is only about another 5 minute walk after you hit the sand. We were able to rent a beach umbrella at a shore-side shop for 5. I do recommend, if you plan to walk to the beach with your gear as a family, to bring a wagon, if possible. Anyways, we enjoyed our stay and it beat a hotel and dealing with traffic before and after the beach. This host answered my few questions immediately & that was great too.
