Summary: The home was perfect for families...the backyard was completely fenced in. Lots of toys and room to play. Felt safe to leave kids in back alone. The huge glass doors that led to outside gave us a full view of yard from inside. Close to everything! We visited the famous zoo and surprised to kids with a visit to LegoLand. Beach and sunset was amazing.
