This was wonderful for a family gathering. Plenty of living space, deck space, outside chairs, beach towels, many baby items such as bath and seats, games, well stocked kitchen essentials and of course the beach out the back door. Be aware that air conditioning is only near the family/living room, none in bedrooms if that is a concern. We only had the first day that was too warm/muggy to open bedroom windows for fresh air, and that was first week of August. Host was very informative and great with checking in and quick responses to questions.
