Quiet, no traffic, reclusive neighbors. Groceries, ice cream, ribs and crabs all in walking distnce. Beach for swimming is PERFECT for kids 3-9. Waistdeep, rock breakers, small waves, shells, no glass, benches ... just perfect for small kids.
Large yard covered in grass. Trees that can climbed easily. A soccer field right in back of the house. What more can you want???
The house itself fit 2 grandparents, one parent and 4 kids (4-0) without any problem at all.
If you have teenagers, they'd better be into fishing, walking or being in their own world. But for pre-teens? It really doesn't get any better.
