If you need total darkness (or any darkness) to sleep in, or if you don't want to hear every word uttered and every footfall sounded in the entire house, this is NOT the place for you. But if you are a sound sleeper, and love to greet the morning sun, if you want to be in a quiet neighborhood just blocks from the beach, if you want a fully-furnished kitchen with all the essentials at your fingertips, if you want a hostess who will leave you fresh doughnuts and attend to your every need, than this is your place! We stayed here with nine people across three generations of our family and we had a wonderful week. All the gushing about the backyard in all the other reviews is accurate and well-stated, so I won't repeat it. It is close to mini golf and restaurants, and having beach towels, beach chairs, and beach toys provided with the house meant that we could enjoy the beach as much as we wanted with very little effort on our part. Thank you, Pamela, for everything!
