“Out of Pocket” was absolutely perfect for our small group, including three grandchildren ages four through twelve. It was cute and quirky in the most unique and creative ways; definitely not your average cookie-cutter beach house, and my daughter-in-law and I loved that about it. The fact that the owners are so friendly and accessible (the second story is their living area, after all) is one big plus. There is everything, and I mean EVERYTHING, you could possibly need for cooking, grilling (gas AND charcoal grills), eating, going to the beach, playing out in the yard, playing games inside or on the screened-in front porch, building a fire in the fire pit, relaxing in the hammock, riding the bikes which come with the rental…. I could go on and on! The Allison’s have thought of it all! The walk to the beach is so short and once you cross the street, the access is straight ahead and well-marked with a “30” sign (for 30th Street). It’s a lovely walk along a tree-covered shady path almost the entire way. Once back, the outdoor shower was great to rinse off in, and even though it doesn’t have hot water running to it, it felt plenty warm. There’s also a water hose near the shower, and the grandsons preferred it to the shower. Did I mention that there’s a super nice park only one block away? The grandkids had such a great time playing on all the equipment.
I can’t say enough good about the house, its owners, and the location. We loved it and will be back!
