10/10 Excellent
"Access to beach, walkable to downtown along the beach, great view, good amenities, many fire pits, reasonably priced. Has a EV charger, not fast speed, but it’s there. A great stop along Hwy 1 between LA and SF! The AC didn’t quite work, I think they are trying to preserve energy. So you have to open the windows. The air is crisp at night so it’s good. But if you are on the ground floor, you may not want to open the window/patio door for safety concerns as it’s accessible by everyone. It will not be a problem for the 2nd floor."
