Spectacular oceanfront upper unit with amazing views from awesome roof top deck!
10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (5)
"We enjoyed staying at this property that was right on the beach with a great rooftop deck that we enjoyed sunset dinners on. My negatives were that there were no basic items such as salt and pepper and more pressing that it advertises a washer and dryer but fails to mention that they are in the garage and coin operated. It cost $1.50 to wash a load of clothes and another $1 to use the dryer. For the price paid per night on the property I would expect the washer and dryer to be free to use as it...

"We love staying here for 6 nights. It was clean and quiet with everything we needed to be comfortable. We took the bikes along the beach front to the end of the peninsula and had a great time exploring the beach. The bed was comfortable and my daughter slept on the hide a bed that had a mattress topper and said it was also very comfy.

9.6 out of 10, Exceptional, (14)
"We enjoyed our visit. The place was nice and cozy. The location was in a gated community and convenient to all that the area had to offer. The online photos showed a gas fireplace (in use). We were unable to utilize that amenity. We were disappointed to say the least. Reason: We were told by the host that it was a safety hazard. Cleanliness on a scale of one to ten. 6 1/2. The beds were comfortable and most all the amenities were as described in the VRBO listing. It checked most all the boxes....

"Overall the place was clean and good for what we wanted…..we planned on being at the beach everyday and just needed a place to lay our heads. The weather wasn’t that great, so we spent a lot more time inside than expected. The property itself was fine other than a few outlets that didn’t work, the light above the stove was broken, and the lighting in the house (kitchen/living area) isn’t great. We knew we were getting a small place to stay and it was clean and cute. But the thing that really...
