The location and view are incredible. We loved listening to the sounds of the ocean and watching the beautiful sunsets. This place definitely attracts a younger crowd (we're somewhat young but not big partiers anymore), so just be prepared. All guests were very nice and courteous and while there are strict rules about being quiet, there was a large group playing flip cup in the courtyard after 11pm. It didn't bother us, especially because the bedrooms are in the back of the unit and we couldn't hear anything with the fan on. But just to forewarn others! Walls are pretty thin too. The place was very clean which was great. Be prepared that there's no AC, which worked just fine in April. Furnishings were nice and didn't want for more amenities (only thing really missing from the kitchen is a blender but I'm sure that wouldn't get used very often). The beds were super comfy and while there were no blackout blinds or curtains, I got some of the best sleep I've had in ages! I was surprised that everything was more "weathered" than pictures let on. Some of the furniture has definitely seen better days, as well as patches on walls and in corners and things. But I suppose that's bound to happen with a younger crowd over time. :)
We really enjoyed the courtyard! Such a plus to have all that furniture to use. Getting into OB was super easy, especially if you take the "rentable" electric scooters all over town (through Bird app/Lime app). So much fun. We really lucked out with the lower price point in April and are so glad we found an available unit on such short notice! A stay in SD should always have a view of the ocean, in my opinion. :) We'd gladly come back!
