Excellent location with proximity to the beach, food, and shopping, but the value mostly stops there.
From the moment we walked in, until the moment we left, the heat inside was miserable. There is no AC unit anywhere inside, and the shades are more decorative than functional for blocking incoming heat. This is addressed with a few floor fans and one ceiling fan in the living room, but it just was not enough to make the place comfortable. Most of the year this is probably not an issue, but be prepared to sweat during summer months.
Temperature control aside, the place looks nice at first glance and walk thru with an updated kitchen and bathroom, and nice modern bed spreads, but both mattresses were very uncomfortable with worn out springs, it almost felt like somone folded them in half across the middle so the top of your back sinks down right below the pillows.
The kitchen was nice with updated appliances and plenty of essentials to do whatever was needed.
The living room has an excellent view of the beach with huge windows, but the futon couch felt just like the mattresses and was very uncomfortable for one or two people to sit on. We did not open it up at all to see how well it functioned as a bed.
Check in was fine, but we felt like we had to walk on our tip toes the whole time with a large $500 security deposit and a litany of house rules that threaten all or a portion of that deposit if not followed to the T, which added to uncomfortability and made checking out stressful.
The garage was worth the additional cost and fit our Jeep Wrangler just fine which was a plus.
Susan was quick to respond, easy to communicate with, and get answers from prior to our stay. She also left very detailed thorough instructions for check in and check out.
The location is what this place really has going for it. It has a great view of the ocean from the living room, the steps down to the beach are very close, which takes just a minute or two to reach depending on the traffic light. And there is good food and shopping close by in every direction by foot or vehicle.
We really wanted to like this place, and think a different time of year when it wasn't so hot might've been a different story. With some much needed mattress and furniture upgrades and some AC in the summer, this place could be a top tier location, but the reality is, all four of us who stayed there agreed without hesitation, that our stay was uncomfortable from start to finish for multiple reasons and ultimately not worth the cost.
