Upon entering, I had a sense that a German grandmother had spent a week cleaning the condo. It was simply but tastefully decorated more like a nice hotel rather than a vacation home. The kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans and cooking utensils and enough barware and dishes to entertain for a modest gathering. The water pressure was the best I have ever experienced in drought conscious Southern California. I will definitely consider coming back next time I visit family. Thank you for the great experience. ##### Michael L.

Sadly my other family members could not attend but that's not on this property. Had a little noise from upstairs but nothing that was irritating me (footfalls, sound barrier not the greatest), but this property with the two porches and the view was perfect and peaceful. Next time, I'd like to NOT have to work and just enjoy and regroup. Kitchen had everything really, and although we didn't utilize the two bedrooms (as my other family members couldn't come), they were spacious and clean. I left earlier but again not on the property. Communication was quick and easy and I'd go back - absolutely! Thank you :) ##### Kenda N. Stayed 6 nights in Feb 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Rhonda H. Feb 27, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Not what I was expecting Given the extensive pre-rental contract & multiple emails stressing responsible use of the property, I was not expecting the unit to be in the condition we found. Nails were left in walls without decor, a toothbrush holder was on the bathroom floor to keep the door open, & a trash bag of old clothes was spilling onto the bedroom closet floor, leaving an unexpectedly shabby impression for the property. Also unknowable from the photos is the location of the public beach restroom immediately across the street. The presence of people loitering near the facility & scavenging thru the trash didn't bode well for using the patio and the fire pit. Privacy was also an issue, due to the choice of Roman shades on the front & rear windows. A different style of window treatment would have allowed renters to sit in the main room & not feel like one is on display if the shades are open. ##### Rhonda H. Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Anna E., Missoula May 16, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Immaculate property, good location This was a beautiful apartment with absolutely immaculate housekeeping and fantastic bedding and towels for comfort and luxury. The kitchen appliances and dishes were also really nice and new. I felt like I was staying in a medium to high end hotel suite, on those counts. It does have some older beach chairs and things you can use in the garage so that was really handy. The communication is a lot - many lengthy emails, but I’d rather have that than not enough. The location is great in that it’s three very short blocks to the ocean side and the beach is enormous and clean. The bay side is right out the front door, which brings me to the only flaw with this property, if it’s even something that bothers you. Despite it being at the end of a road, this street is excessively busy. It’s a staging area for the rental kayak shop around the corner, and for people coming to use the calmer bay water for paddleboarding etc. There is a tiny dock at the end of the road and a public bathroom across the street. Altogether, this setup equals a LOT of constant traffic and noise from city vehicles maintaining the dock and bathroom to people parking and unparking and unloading vehicles and turning around and backing up, to the guy hauling the kayaks from the rental shop up and down the street. If you’re looking for something quiet, this isn’t the place. If you really don’t mind all that activity, then it won’t be a problem at all! Given all that, I would totally stay here again. ##### Anna E.
