A nice, clean, comfortable apartment at a perfect location with gorgeous views. What more could you ask for?
The location is perfect: it's right next to a path that goes along the length of the beach, so you can walk or ride an electric scooter to the little stretch of shops/bars/restaurants (a few blocks south, so the area is relatively peaceful at night). This path gets quite a bit of foot/scooter traffic. It's near the edge of a 40 foot bluff overlooking the beach (totally safe -- there are railings and landscaping protecting the edge), and there are some stairs in front of the building. For people interested in surfing, etc., I'm not sure about how seasons affect the tides here, but when we went in April 2019, folks were surfing and padding boarding along the ocean in front of us -- we were able to watch at any time of day from the unit's gorgeous, unobstructed view of the beach and ocean.
The unit is on the southwest corner, so it heats up in the afternoon/evening. There are three sliding glass doors (two in the living room, one in the master bedroom). We would leave these open in the evenings and mornings to cool the place down. There were notices in the elevator that the balconies are not safe, and they have instructed that no one go on them. Matthew keeps two expanding baby/dog gates in the master bedroom closet, and we set those in the sliding glass doors so we could keep them open without having to worry about our curious 15 month old daughter checking them out. In that same closet, there are some basic beach supplies (umbrella, chairs, a few toys); and there were some beach towels laid out.
