The location of this unit was perfect. It was less than a five minute walk to the beach. I went to the ocean every morning and watched the surfers do their thing and read a ton. It is a lot less busy than a lot of the other beaches in Southern California, which I really appreciated. Cy provided the beach chairs for guests, so that was very helpful. It was also a quiet community, which made it easy to sleep and feel like we were on a relaxing vacation. Plenty of seating options inside the unit. I enjoyed reading in either one of the lounge chairs with ottomans. We were always able to find free street parking within 2 blocks of our unit.
The unit is in good condition. The reason I gave it a four star review instead of a five star review was cleanliness was lacking in a couple areas. All the blinds need to be dusted and wiped down. The bathroom needs a deeper cleaning. The host did offer to wipe down the shower again because we did feel it necessary to bring the shower cleanliness issue up, but I went ahead and did it because I did not mind. The remainder of the unit was very clean.
Cy's welcoming nature, check in process, and communication were top notch.
