I’m not even sure where to begin. This was a last-minute availability, we cancelled our other spot, and goodness are we thrilled we did!
We didn’t get an opportunity to take in the beach, but Mike has a beautiful beach wagon and a whole sack full of beach towels. Just a few blocks from the ocean, we walked there several times to take in meals, and just to enjoy the sights, sounds, smells of the salt air.
The exterior space that greets you is comfortable, and attractive, a perfect spot to open the entire wall of windows and enjoy some coffee cake and or a leisure morning before heading to grab a bite.
The bed was comfortable, if a bit firm. Not knocking it - we just tend to sleep on softer mattresses at home. It didn’t take away at all from the rating!
The bathroom was comfortable, very functional, and the shower was very spacious, heated up nicely and had great pressure. Plenty of counter space a even for the girlfriend’s hair straightener and all of my various daily-use items!
Parking varied from “immediately out front” to a block and a half away. Again, didn’t detract from the rating. Just want to give people an idea. Loading and unloading lots of luggage could be a pain if having you walk a block and a half in each direction (especially when you get to the room and realize you’ve forgotten something - your phone - in the car). The door lock is a bit confusing, though the instructions were clear - I just had technical difficulties haha.
This place was well-stocked for cooking, and would’ve been a perfectly comfortable place to prep meals had we elected to do so. Had time permitted, we’d have loved to have taken in all that the beach area had to offer. Mike’s spot is the kind of place that you can easily stop at the grocery store, and be self-sufficient for the duration of your entire stay.
Mike also checked in with us on arrival from his balcony. He was cordial, smiling brightly, and super responsive to any questions we had and was accommodating.
We would gladly stay here again, and certainly hope our future trip coincides with availability at Mike’s property!
