Gabriella was really nice and let us know we could check in a bit early which was awesome. Not sure if her preferred way of communicating when you are checked in is via text or Airbnb’s app so you may want to ask.
Like other people have said, awesome location, cool decor, comfy beds and it was great to have all the beach supplies (boogie boards, wagon, sand toys, etc). Place was a tad bit smaller than expected but still great.
One thing that is totally outside of Gabriella’s control is how thin the walls are. You can hear everything from the people living in the upstairs unit (music, conversations, walking around etc.). At times the music was really loud when we were inside the unit that we were having to talk really loud to hear each other, but when you went outside you couldn’t hear the music much. It did get lowered right at the quiet hours. I don’t know if the above unit is a rental and it just happened to be the people that were staying there the same time as us or if it’s full time residents who live there to know if all that we heard is the norm or not?
There is not a washer or dryer, so if you prefer a clean set of towels each day and don’t want to go to a laundry mat bring extras from home (for showering and the beach).
Also since there isn’t a dishwasher, you may want to bring some paper plates and plastic utensils if you aren’t into washing everything by hand.
There is a great Ralph’s close by with underground parking to pick up food and stuff like paper towels.
Like a lot of beach places, there is no AC. It was cooler when we were there so not sure if the place gets hot when it’s warmer outside?
Law St Beach is just a couple blocks away and great. Much calmer crowd, very family friendly and less people than going down to PB. We brought a cooler with our lunch each day which worked out great (there isn’t a boardwalk at this beach to grab food).
If you have kids who like rides and games head over to Belmont Park. We got there right when they opened and there were no lines for the rides which was awesome.
