The stay was wonderful. Great location. Our host was kind and informative with checkin. Where this falls off is the price for the stay. We are used to beach weather as we have lived on the coast of OC for the last 10 years. The unit needs some cooling/heating.
This bit isn’t a deal breaker for us as we have a baby, but we were told not to be loud after 9pm, and while that’s fine for us as our daughters bed time is 7 pm, there are plenty of other units nearby where partying continues till 11pm-12am. Would not advise the rental for families with young babies.
The shower head can use an upgrade. The back door to the deck could use a new handle as it does not lock very easily. It was actually a hassle to get it to shut/lock. I’m grateful there was parking, albeit a very small space. The bathroom window is really tough to open/close.
Again the stay was wonderful, and the host was good. These are just some missing amenities for the price per night. I’d be happy to stay there again, for $100-$150 a night. Not for the $285 a night we paid. I get the location is prime, but that is no justification to lack in updating the unit with essentials.
For my families personal needs and all the other stuff tacked onto a rental, 2 nights came out to $853. I’d rather just stay in a nice hotel for that price, but that would be our personal preference. (I’ll take into consideration it was Mother’s Day weekend, although there were plenty of other rentals not occupied nearby.)
