We have three boys aged under 10 and we did not have to worry about them in this locked up very large section. A quiet street, very close to the beach and surf club and conveinience store. We will definitely be back to stay. Easy communication with the owners. Totally worth it. ##### Danielle O. Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Lisa C. Jun 3, 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Downstairs unit needs an overhaul Location was great. Huge secure yard. Upstairs was servicable but dated and could have been cleaner, also needs new curtains in the main bedroom. Dog hair everywhere. Suspicous marks on the duvet cover and a sock left in the bedside drawer. Yuck. Downstairs was disgusting. Mold everywhere and what I suspect is an asbestos ceiling that has a lot of disturbance (people have written their names in the sparkly popcorn texture). It was very unclean with mold in the bathroom and oily streaks on the countertops in the kitchen. . We ended up not using the downstairs at all - my husband died at 35yo from Mesothelioma, so we were not going to risk exposure. ##### Lisa C.
