This place exceeded my expectations! It was an amazing, quiet birthday weekend getaway! Especially, with everything going on in the world right now, gave me peace. You genuinely can hear the waves lap on the shore 24/7. (My favorite thing!) And even though there is a street between you & the ocean, the road traffic is slow & therefore, not noisy. Plus, you are about 3 stories up above so you really don’t hear anything but the waves & birds. It is so quiet, peaceful & felt very safe. A beautiful neighborhood. When there are people playing on the beach you can hear them when they are laughing & yelling. But that is just part of it being a public beach. The apartment itself has attention to every detail. It is as if you are staying in someone’s home. Everything you could need is there. Even though you get the charm of an older Spanish style home, everything is pretty updated. So you get the comforts of working fixtures & cute details. The HUGE wall full of large windows was one of my favorite places to perch & watch the trees sway & the ocean. A few times I saw pods of dolphins in the bay with the surfers! The sun rises filling the whole apartment every morning, which is spectacular to watch from bed! But also, can wake you up early if you don’t want to watch the sun rise. So just be sure to pull the shades down before bed. The bed is very comfortable, not too squishy, not too hard. A couple nights it got chilly so I had to close the windows & put on sweats, but overall the temperature doesn’t get too hot or cold. The kitchen has been redone, (except the stove) but reflects old 50’s style. Took me a couple tries to get the pilot light lite in the oven & it cooks kinda slowly, but the novelty of a classic oven was fun. When looking for the unit, you can’t see the unit number, so you have to look for the sign on the door from the pictures. Last on the end. I REALLY enjoyed my stay here & did not want to leave! Was so glad I booked 4 nights instead of 3. I was so sad when it was time to go. There is also easy access to grocery stores & restaurants close by. And access to the beach is just a walk down the street down a flight of stairs. Takes maybe 3-5 minutes to get there. I very possibly may be back! I loved it that much! Thanks!
