I just took my daughter to college and stayed in this lovely little apartment with a view. The beds were comfortable and ocean waves were soothing. Because we had so much to do we did not get to enjoy the surrounding area as much as we had hoped, but this apartment is in close proximity to Newport street with many restaurants and shops. We did get to walk the cliffs and have breakfast at a cute restaurant around the corner. We did notice that there are realities of living near the beach, like ants- which were mainly on the patio. We did have an issue with a drain in the kitchen that gurgled and eventually backed up. Dean was very responsive and I am sure followed up after we left, as it happened our last evening. Overall, this was a sweet spot in a convenient location that felt safe and special.
