The location of this house is great. It is a really short walk to the beach, and some food (mostly take out and coffee) options within walking distance. More options for food and night life are a short bike or car ride away. It is nice that there are bikes and beach toys, boogie boards, etc. included, and the off street parking is a huge plus since street parking is hard to come by. That being said, the off-street parking is extremely tight, so if you have a larger vehicle (we rented a Nissan SUV) it is very hard to fit with very little space to get out. The location is also right on the departure path from the airport so there is a lot of airplane noise between the house of 6:30 am and 10:30 pm.
The beach was beautiful and there is a really nice bike/walking trail right by the ocean which we used a lot.
The inside of the house is just OK. The bathrooms have been updated and were fine, the kitchen was lacking in almost every way. The stove was VERY old and smelled when used, and made a strange buzzing noise all the time. The fridge froze everything in the back even when turned to the warmest setting, and the ice maker in the freezer leaked water making the ice a huge chunk and sounded like a car crusher. I had sick toddler for our entire stay and slept on the couch most nights so I can attest to the loud noises from these appliances. The kitchen was very poorly furnished with old, cheap pots and pans, only 2 cereal sized bowls and one had a huge chip out of the side. In short, if you are planning to cook here you might reconsider. The host was not at all welcoming, although he did live right next door and I saw him upon arrival. He did not ask if everything was ok, or if we needed anything. In fact when we called at 5 pm one evening to tell him that we could not get the propane tank to open to grill our dinner, he did not offer to help but instead sent us down to the garage for tools, and then when that failed he sent my husband 2 blocks down to another of his rentals to get another tank. Although this was our first Airbnb experience, it was more like a generic, low grade vacation rental, no personal touch as I was expecting.
