Amazing place for a family!
This home was so great for our family of 6! We have 4 kids 8 and under and Kim & Jeff converted the garage into a kids room and it was the best! The kids loved it! We had a 6 month old baby and they had extra baby items, bouncer, High chair, crib and other things that were great to have since we couldn’t fit those in our suitcases. The fire pit was a hit for our kids too! The beach was about a 10 min walk away and down a set of stairs and it was the perfect distance for our kids to walk to and from. The house was very clean and organized. We also went to Legoland and it was a 10 min drive. Jeff & Kim even gave us wetsuits for our kids, which was really nice! They made the whole process easy. We will definitely be staying here again next time we come down!

Couldn’t be a better Legoland Stay
The property was clean and well appointed. I generally expect this from a rental. What put this over the top was the kids playroom and closeness to both the beach and Legoland. Perfect for a family with young kids!

Best stay EVER
This house is an absolute dream. When you imagine getting a house close to the beach, you wouldn’t even hope it was this good. The pictures are accurate. It was spotlessly clean and had everything you could need. The neighborhood felt so safe and welcoming. My 80-year-old in-laws took a walk every morning and loved it. We had three generations staying at the house, and we all had enough living space and hangout space. The owners are beyond gracious and wonderful to communicate with. Do yourself a favor and book this house!

Amazing Family Friendly Stay
Perfect getaway location! The house is so family friendly and conveniently located. We enjoyed the beach, Lego Land and the zoo. All 3 generations were happy! It is one of the nicest stays we’ve had as the owners have thought of everything and were so nice to rent from. Hope to go back!

About the host

Hosted by Jeff or Kim Todd

Host profile image
We live next door to this property. We're just about to begin our 10th year of vacation renting. It's YOUR house during your stay - you can expect to see us going in and out of our house, but you will get complete privacy. It's a lovely neighborhood and the beach is one of our favorite surf spots.

Why they chose this property

The house is CLEAN, well maintained, and fun!

The beach is magical! There's something for everyone - playing in the sand, jumping in the waves, boogie boarding, surfing, or just relaxing in the sun. One of the greatest joys in life is quality time with family. We set up this home with the hope that guests will create lifelong memories and have a wonderful time so they come back (and a lot of them do)!
Thank you for considering our house for your vacation!

What makes this property unique

The house is located in a quiet neighborhood close to the beach. It is an easy five-minute walk to a lovely beach where you will descend a staircase of about 100 steps and find yourself on a beach with locals and campers (no big crowds of tourists).

The house has hard floors throughout and all mattresses and pillows are encased for cleanliness. It is beautifully decorated, well maintained and without "owner clutter."
