Checking in and out of the property was very easy and Ronnie was responsive to texts prior to our arrival. He checked in on us a few days into our stay to see if we needed anything, which I thought was nice.

The location is A+ with an easy walk to the beach, morning coffee, breweries and restaurants. As noted, neighbors are very close and you will hear cars, motorcycles, conversations, pets, etc. Other reviews have mentioned the airplane noise, and it is loud. The planes don't fly overnight, however, so it only bothered our teen who wanted to sleep in. This bungalow offers a neighborhood feel which we really liked.

We were disappointed with the cleanliness and upkeep of the property, but this can easily be rectified with a deep clean and some minor repairs. Also, the pull out couch was not comfortable for our teen to sleep on. It would be fine for young children, but anyone over 80 pounds will not enjoy a comfy bed.

We really appreciated the beach gear provided and there are two beach cruisers available as well. The parking spot off the alley was a HUGE benefit as street parking can be hard to find.

Overall, we rate our stay a B+. With some extra attention paid to the cleanliness and property maintenance, it will easily raise to an A+.
