The view from this property is truly magnificent and we had sunny days. One could watch the ocean for an age without a problem.
The problem was with the property and its offerings. I could never see the point in this, but it was here. The toilet paper was cheap and nasty - it fell apart when it was applied, and it left part of itself behind. I am sure you get the picture. Same deal with the paper towel in the kitchen, so I don't know what you were supposed to do with a real mess to clean up. The living room chairs were all uncomfortable and the bed was frightful.
While this property was clean - everything it in was old. I mean 1970's old - the lounge, the chairs, the beds, the kitchen, the dishwasher, the fridge (and boy was it loud). Even the towels were stained and yellowed - but they were clean. Sorry, there was one new thing - the washing machine.
You cannot easily access the beach. The kids would be fine, but I am 65 and I have had a stroke. The property was near 8th St and you had drive down to 1st St and even that wasn't easy to get to the beach. Which is what we ended up doing.
I don't know what the issue with the box for the key is but we could only open one of them and that was difficult. Not sure if it is age or the salt air.
If you are like us and go to the coast mid-week you will find a lot of places are closed in November - shoulder season? from Mon - Wed. Take that into account. The Hideaway, which was very close, was open and the 'fish n chips' were excellent.
There were parts of the property that we did not get to use, because it was cooler and later in the year, and they may have been excellent. There is wrap-around patio with chairs and a bbq on the back (not the ocean side) of the property on the upper level.
So, if you are young and can deal the furniture and whatever, go for it - the view alone is just beautiful.
