My family and I enjoyed our first trip to California and Al’s place made it an overall pleasing experience. We had some car troubles on our way there which changed our check-in date and time and Al was very understanding. He responded in a timely manner and it was greatly appreciated. The location was fantastic! Just minutes away from the boardwalk and beach! A plus was that beach chairs were provided so we didn’t have to worry about that. Everythjng went smoothly from communication of check-in time, appliances working well, A/C worked the entire time, and any kind of information we needed was readily available to us. The only thing I noticed was some areas around the place weren’t cleaned very well. The chairs in the balcony were dirty and dusty and so were some spots on the floor and showers. Also, the lock in the bathroom that is not in the bedroom did not work. Took several times opening and closing the door to get it to lock. Overall, we all loved Al’s place and would definitely book with him again!
