You won't find a better location for the price. The shared terrace overlooking the ocean is stunning. There are plenty of lounge chairs and a hammock to relax in.
We loved watching pelicans soaring by, and sleeping to the sound of waves crashing against the rocks. You can walk to a grocery store, restaurants and coffee shops.
The facility itself is well maintained. I saw workers cleaning the grounds and washing the windows on the day we left. Sunset Cliffs attracts a lot of visitors so you will hear some street noise. It usually quiets down after sunset, and the waves do muffle a lot of the sound. We were visiting during an off-peak time so the facility was pretty quiet. If you are someone that loves privacy, you may have to deal with noise from people hanging out on the patio. Since it's an older building, you also hear people walking around upstairs. The unit itself (# 102) could use some improvements, therefore, we felt it deserved an average rating. The memory foam mattress was too soft for my taste, and a bedding upgrade (sheets and bedspreads) would do wonders for the place. The living room needed more privacy curtains, or blinds, since it's on the shared patio. An area rug would also add warmth. The kitchen was convenient and we appreciated the coffeemaker (bring your own coffee) and mini-fridge. There were plenty of cups, plates and silverware. More counter space would be helpful for food prep and dish drying. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and the location was perfect.
