This home is perfect for families of all ages, with a port-a-crib and highchair, a well-equipped "kids' room "with bunk beds and an extra bed, to two other bedrooms with ample closet space and beds, and a lovely master bedroom suite with wrap-around sitting area, and large bathroom with separate bathtub and shower. Lots of room for families to enjoy different activities in an open floor plan and well-thought out supplies. We enjoyed walking to the Orchid Thai and local coffeehouse and the easy walk to the beach.
