[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How is Parking by the beach? If it's a pain, then it's not worth it if you have to drive.[/quote]

This is my concern with beach houses not walkable. If you rent on the beach you may not appreciate how much of a pain parking can be

OP here.  Well I understand that parking can be a concern, if you're going during prime time (like 11 am - 4 pm).  But we actually don't like to go to the beach during those hours.  We'd get to the beach by 7 am (probably not much traffic then or problems finding parking).  Then we'd be driving back to the beach house around 11 am (could be some traffic then).  It's kind of the same as avoiding driving in rush hour traffic (which I try to do here).

And then when we would be there during the off season there wouldn't be much traffic/parking issues.

For me, parking/drive is a non-issue.

OP, you do you, but I agree with all the walkability comments.  What you are describing is not a beach house, but a house in a beach town.  There's a difference.

You are also foolish to assume that your schedule now, when you have a 3 yo and a toddler, will remain the same, and these convenience issues won't become more important.  My 10 yo, for example, would raise holy hell if we tried to wake her at 6:30 to go to the beach every weekend.  She'd be bored stiff without her friends, too.  [/quote]
