As long as your expectatation are reasonable, this is a great place to stay. Not in the fanciest of neighborhoods (there were quite a few homeless people wandering the streets), but it felt like a true California surfers neighborhood. Easy walking/biking distance to both the beach and the bay. Bicycles, surf board and boogie boards were a hit, even if though they were well loved. It is also easy to rent bikes, scooters and surf gear (including wetsuits) nearby, if you want fancier equipment. During our three day stay, the beach had a constant roll of gentle waves perfect for beginning surfer/boggie boarders. A grocery store is across the street from condo and many restaurants are within walking distance. Home was quiet, safe and clean. Parking was secure in garage under the condo. Good wifi. We had a great stay.
