Our stay has had ups and downs in this property, though hard to blame anyone for the downs it is just that property wasn't very ready for a winter stay when we were there. I imagine that problem is addressed once we left.
The location itself is amazing, ocean beach is a lot of fun especially with a dog. Volleyball scene is active over the weekend, the beach had always people. Lots of great restaurants and bars in the walking distance, couple of good places with live music.
The main issue with the property was the on and off heating issues. There was one heating wall unit in the living room and no heating in the bedrooms. As a result, we walked into a 52 degree house at 8pm with a baby ready to go to sleep. Unfortunately the wall unit didn't even work and there were no space heaters available so we didn't have a way of getting the heat back up. We called the after hours number couple of times but we didn't get an answer so we were thinking about vacating the property. We didn't get any help that night right away so my husband had to fix the wall unit himself in the middle of the night since the cold was getting worse. So our stay didn't start off very well. To Jeff's credit the issue was addressed the next day and a space heater was provided.
There are some more issues outside of the heating that needs to be addressed as well. The living room layout is not practical, which makes the room cluttered. The furniture are very uncomfortable. Pictures from the listing are wide lens which makes the living room look much bigger than it is. Also the angle one of the picture was taken made it look like the unit is floor level on the beach, however it is second floor and there are stairs to the unit. The pots and pans in the kitchen should have been thrown out and replaced long time ago since they are not useable which made cooking for our son harder.
