Aug 24, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy I am not one to normally leave reviews, but I wanted to in this instance because this property was a 10 out of 10\. Such a nice, clean and roomy townhome. This place literally has everything you need and then some. What I was most impressed with was the beach accessory closet. I can’t think of anything that we needed or desired that wasn’t available. Also, the air conditioner worked really really well which is always a concern for me. I strongly recommend this place and we will very likely be back at South Bay number 78 again. ##### david p. Stayed 6 nights in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Michael C.
