The Beach Bum is a well-equipped, spacious, comfortable house for a family to vacation. We appreciated that it is very child-friendly with toys that our toddler boys could use, a swing set in the backyard and even a wagon and stroller in the garage. The owners have just about everything to accommodate a family with small children - a pack n' play, bed rails, a high chair with a large living space for them to play. This was what was most important to us but I know may not be to others. The weather was beautiful when we were there so we didn't spend as much time at the house or cooking meals there as I had anticipated. Our beach time was too precious. The kitchen had what we needed for the most part but again, we didn't cook much. It's a short drive (5 minutes?) to the downtown area and the local large beach. There is a very small private beach within walking distance but it is still farther from the house than I thought. We were glad we loaded up the wagon to get there. Again, the beach is very small with lots of rocks so we didn't spend much time there but still nice to have. We did have trouble with the internet/wifi at this house. Not sure if others did as well. Unless you were 10 feet or less from the router the internet did not work well. We could not sit on the deck and listen to music through wifi -- too far from the router! One last nit-picky thing was that my husband and I did not think that the master bedroom bed was very comfortable. All in ones opinion though! All in all, we were very happy with our stay!
