My wife and I had a great time. We were unfamiliar with the area, and it was a great home base for exploring. Very easy beach access, at a point approximately in the middle of the 7-mile stretch of beach--we enjoyed taking long walks in both directions. Loved having both front and back decks for either shade or sun. About a 10-minute walk from the pier (with restaurants, rides, etc.), so, within reach but not right in the middle of the congestion and crowds. It was convenient having a staffed office across the street, and the staffpeople were extremely helpful and gracious at check-in and when we had questions a couple of times after that. Visitors should be aware that the shower is TINY, and that there is a railroad track within a few dozen yards behind the place. Neither bothered us but they might bother some.
