Overall the place was good.
Pros:
Excellent location, felt safe, and Doug was very responsive which was much appreciated. He suggested some local restaurants which turned out to be great recommendations! TV is big and there's Amazon Fire TV with all the supscriptions available as well. There's also a great outdoor courtyard area inside the fence that was very welcoming and well kept. There were beach towels in the closet which was nice. Doug said beach chairs and umbrellas are available but all we could find out back were some old chairs-in-a-bag so we bought a $20 beach umbrella from a store on Newport and left it for future guests.
Cons:
No AC (the listing says there isn't any but I overlooked that apparently. We ended up using both fans from the closet and sleeping with the windows open which worked pretty well so not a huge issue, but it would also be pretty easy to just get a small window AC unit for guests).
There was some mold on the shower wall and ceiling, and on the shower curtain, and the drain was very slow. The hot and cold in the shower was a bit of an issue. It goes from barely luke warm to scalding hot to freezing cold without ever touching the knobs and without any warning. The shower is extremely small too so escaping the extreme temp swings when they happen is difficult. It made washing my 9 month old a bit of a challenge but we managed.
Parking was an issue but we got lucky most nights and only had to park one or two blocks away and walk to the room. Nonetheless, do not expect to be able to park close. you're lucky to find a spot open on that street.
Overall it's a great location and mostly pleasant stay.
