Summary: We had a fantastic time at this vacation rental with my wife and kids. The house was immaculate and perfectly suited for a family getaway. It provided everything we needed for an enjoyable week at the beach, including beach chairs, sand toys, umbrellas, and all the essentials for water fun. The location was ideal for relaxing by the bay and making great memories. We highly recommend this rental for families looking for a comfortable and convenient beach vacation!
