We enjoyed our visit at this great location, clean and at a good price. Having grown up in the South Bay (and in the 80s worked a block away at a restaurant no longer there) I was familiar with the area and had a good idea what to expect. We enjoyed walks on the beach and to several restaurants. We were prepared for some minor parking challenges (narrow streets, restrictions some days due to street sweeping) that could be more challenging in peak season when a parking permit might be needed. Heating was a bit of an issue as most of these old beach houses have little to no insulation. We had no heat the first night when we arrived late - we slept with sweats, knit cap and gloves as it was very cold as indicated by frost on the windows in the morning. Pilot light issue was quickly addressed. The next day when the pilot light went out again, presumably due high winds and a large gap under front door, maintenance guy was quickly summoned to add weather stripping which seemed to help. We didn’t need to use the 3rd bedroom downstairs which was a good thing as I don’t know that it would have gotten much heat from the upstairs wall heater. The kitchen was stocked with minor cooking utensils for small meals.
