Pleasant trip

Kitchen well equipped except for muffin pan. The frig freezer door handle broke ( or already broken) when we attempted to open it, but maintenance came quickly. Kids loved the pool and hot tub a plus. It was only a short walk to the beach. We had plenty of room for family. 9 year old spent much time in the swinging chair on the deck.
