Hilary was a great host, very responsive and willing to problem solve. You can get to the beach easily, my dog and I ran the boardwalk every day the weather allowed. Per other reviews, the neighborhood is a little rough around the edges and it is impossible to find parking after 5pm. Garage door and back gate don’t work more often than they do. Bed is very comfy, place is clean and kitchen is well stocked. Overall however, I’d say the listing a little overpriced for what you get. We experienced a number of problems over the course of our month-long stay and I think it more or less comes down to the property being neglected. It appears that the hosts have several rental properties and so I’m sure it just gets lost in the shuffle. Would prefer to stay in the the Belmont Shores or Manhattan/Hermosa Beach areas next time!
