Richard is an amazing host! He is very friendly and welcoming! This is a shared space which made me a little nervous because I was traveling with my 8 year old and 10 year old son, but Richard made us all feel at home and very comfortable. The upstairs space is very private. You have your own bedroom, bathroom, and balcony. You can hear and see the ocean view when you lay in the bed! There is enough room on the floor in the bedroom for an air mattress if needed. My boys loved greeting Richard each morning and when we returned from an outing. He is a very friendly person and made us all feel very comfortable. We had great conversations and he was very interactive with my boys which I appreciated! His place is very clean and he has everything you need for the beach. He provided us with beach towels, chairs, an umbrella, and bodyboards! He provides one parking spot in a garage. His place is right on the beach and only a few blocks south of Belmont Park. His place is walking distance to a ton of restaurants and shopping. Richard is a great host!!
