While we enjoyed our stay at Brian’s as it was clean and ideally located, there are a few things I’d like to point out. Saying “oceanfront” + the beach pictures (in listing) is kind misleading (even though the listing does say you have to cross Ocean Blvd to get to the beach) as this specific property is actually accessed off of an alley behind Ocean Blvd at Temple. So to get to the beach you have to exit out the alley walk up to Temple, walk 1/2 a block to cross Ocean Blvd which is a busy four lane thoroughfare, walk along the raised pedestrian path for about 1/4 mile in either direction before being able to access stairs (at Molino or Orizaba streets) at which point you have to descend about four flights, THEN, you’re on the beach. We also asked for an early check-in as we only rented for one night and Brian was kind enough to let us know as soon as the cleaning crew were done we could check in, but we didn’t receive a message w instructions for check in until ten minutes after the listed check in time (3pm). We had also originally messaged about wanting to use the jacuzzi, but upon arriving, it looked completely separate from our space and part of another property, that, coupled w “the house is being watched closely” made us uncomfortable and also Brian never got back to us about using it.
