If you want to be close to the beach, this is it. You literally are across the street and can either stroll along the beach trail towards 2nd Avenue or go the opposite way and head towards Downtown/Shoreline Village. If you want coffee, you can walk a few blocks east to Broadway to Deja Vu or Firehouse.
Entering the building is tricky because the address is on Ocean Ave., but the actual entrance is in the alley behind Brian's home. If you can get there before sunset, that helps too.
- Lock box instructions are easy and once you get the keys, it's easy to get in. If you have a lot of baggage, it's best to pull up, open the door and unload, then park the car.
- Parking is off-street, but we didn't have any issues finding a space on Ocean or Temple.
- Both bedrooms has murphy beds. We took the room with the shorter bed and bathroom attached, but we noticed the room has become a library (not much room for a nightstand).
- Internet: I did work remote for a day and the internet is very good (better than my home internet).
- Yes, the rain shower is quite an experience as everyone has mentioned.
I did not have time to venture out to the jacuzzi or outdoor shower.
