California Dreamin by AvantStay | Private Pool + Fire Pit | Near the Beach

10/10 Excellent
"Great location! Safe neighborhood and close to the beach. Pool was amazing! Lots of room in the house to spread out for the eight of us. Only complaint was that the bathrooms were oddly connected. A full bath shared a door with a half bath and the door didn’t lock. The bathroom in the master didn’t lock either. And the fourth bedroom was open to the living room. So just a bit of a challenge with privacy for everyone, but we figured it out. Host was wonderfully responsive. And no tasks to be done upon check out which was amazing for a change. A great experience!"
