We had a great time at this studio apartment in PB. The location can’t be beat - a short walk to the end of the street and you’re right on the beach! The neighborhood was great, far enough away from the noise of the downtown PB area but close enough that you aren’t missing out. Great restaurants and cafes all a few minutes walk from the studio - Fig Tree Cafe for breakfast and Oscar’s for fish tacos are a must!!
The studio was definitely small - as advertised, with a Murphy bed in the living space - but it had everything we needed and more!! Perfect if you had to fly in like us and didn’t have a car’s worth of beach stuff - we were provided with Tommy Bahama beach chairs, beach towels, a cooler, boogie boards, and beach cruiser bikes to name a few. It was truly awesome to have all of that for our use. We even had a DELICIOUS bottle of Chardonnay awaiting us upon check-in!
Our one inconvenience was that the WiFi didn’t seem to work in the studio. There were plenty of instructions on what to do if the WiFi was out - making it seem like this was a common occurrence. We had to reset the router (which is located in the main house and occupied by other guests) more than once, but unfortunately it didn’t make much of a difference. We asked the manager for help at one point but we weren’t able to get a resolution beyond resetting the router. Obviously a small frustration in the scheme of things, but something that can be improved for sure. Also, there is “management” on site every now and then as the studio and main house are managed by a vacation rental company - which really didn’t impact us at all but takes away a little from the usual “air bnb feel.”
Overall we had a really lovely time and would stay again if we get the chance to be back in PB!
