The apartment was roomy and the location was excellent for walking to the beach or to restaurants. There are dogs in the apartment but there was no noise after 9 p.m. until around 7 a.m. The location was perfect and the highlight of this property.
The reason for my 3 star review, and I let the host know this issue immediately, is that if you stay here you should be aware that your designated parking stall is shared with a wall and an unlabeled door that is the apartment complex laundry room! I was not made aware of this and the door is not labeled other than one sign that said "keep locked." Quite frankly it looks like a janitor closet or electrical room. I parked a full size 4 door truck (new) in the stall and had approximately 11 inches between the wall and the pole. I had no idea I was blocking the laundry room during my stay, and I wasn't made aware until the 3rd day I was there and walked out to my truck and spoke to a resident. Unfortunately, it very much appears that someone dragged a laundry basked, starting on the roof of my new red truck, down the windshield, and down the entire hood, leaving numerous scratches, some very deep, all the way down the truck. I asked local tenants about this, and as I spoke to them it became very obvious that this is a known problem with the local tenants. A sign that reads "Tenant laundry room - do not block" would've prevented this issue or a heads up from the host in the description. I would not leave 11 inches for locals to access their laundry for 3 days, and obviously I now have to deal with numerous scratches on my roof and hood of my truck.
So please be aware of how you park. It is possible to provide more room by shifting closer to the pole and away from the wall. Aside from this incident, the place is in a great location and the host is very responsive when you need to contact them.
