Summary: Perfect getaway for our family with small children. House is very nice; well-stocked kitchen and comfortable bedrooms and living room. The pool was a must for us - safe and peaceful way to relax and have fun. Neighborhood is great. Peaceful streets to bike and close to two state parks. Beach is extremely accessible. Hosts were very responsive. Can’t say enough good things.
