This is a sweet little place in an absolutely incredible location. Gorgeous views and a lovely breeze from the bay. It’s also nice to have access to paddle boards, boogie boards, and lightweight beach chairs. A few disappointments: It is even smaller than it appears in the photos, and all of the furniture is different, so it doesn’t look like it does in the pictures. The range is old enough that all the markings for the knobs have rubbed off, so it’s difficult to use the stovetop since you don’t know which burner you are turning on or if you have them set to low or high. The shower leaks continually. The mattress and pillows were quite uncomfortable, seemed very cheap. For the price, I think little upgrades like a nicer mattress and pillows would be very appropriate. Also, the cleaning fee seems extremely high for such a tiny place.
All in all, it’s definitely worth staying here for the location, and it’s helpful that it comes with a parking spot. The host was responsive to email communication, which I appreciated. It’s evident that this is only used for a vacation rental and is not someone’s home, so it would be nice if some of the small comforts were better tended to, since the entire operation is run as an investment property.
One final note: if you are a do-it-your-selfer, this place is ideal. But if you want tips about the area, you might prefer a hotel with staff on location, or an Airbnb where the host is more hands-on. Neither option is better, it just depends on how you like to travel and make your day-to-day activity plans.
