This is the perfect house for a family trip. It's right on the beach, so close to the water that you can sit out on the patio and watch the pelicans fish for their breakfast. There are several good restaurants within a block or two of the house, and the ice cream shop is just a bit further down the street. There was a skim board competition on the beach one day while we were there, and a pop-up beach shop. The kids took surf lessons from Sister Jo's Surf School and could just walk down the beach to meet the instructor. We saw dolphins every day, and even a flamingo!
The house itself is lovely and has plenty of room to spread out, although we all tended to congregate in the large open kitchen/living room. At night, the oversized TV is perfect for everybody to watch a movie or football game. There are all of the conveniences you would expect and more--toys for the beach and pool, clubs and golf balls for the putting green, a stand-alone ice maker, and pretty much any kitchen gadget you can imagine. We really wouldn't have had to leave the house for anything.
All in all, we had a wonderful time and are very grateful to Kay and Gary for sharing their little piece of paradise!
