Summary: We stayed at Ocean Beach with friends (a group of adults and young kids) and it was the perfect setup for a group like this.Clean, spacious house, modern kitchen with everything we needed, beautiful views from the upstairs rooms and an awesome garden for the kids. Nice to have an outdoor space on each side of the property so you can take advantage of the sun and the upstairs living area was really useful when the weather was rainy.
