The actual house is dated, but the space was perfect and comfortable for our group of 13.. There were plenty of bedrooms, plenty of seating indoors and out, and, most importantly, just a short walk to the beach. Proximity to Ocean Beach Park has advantages and disadvantages. We loved walking the boardwalk early in the morning, and the children enjoyed the rides and splash pad. The concerts and fireworks were enjoyed by the adults right from the front porch, but were somewhat a problem for the bedtimes of the younger members of our group. Michael was a great host.
