This is a cozy and cute home. It's a small and wonderful 'home away from home.' Its really clean and comfortable. As mentioned above the skylight allows the sun in early, so if you're looking to sleep in late, this probably isn't for you..you could always sleep with an eye mask. It's about a 15-20 minute walk from the main strip of restaurants and bars. you are closer to dog beach, but no dogs allowed at this rental. The swimming beach is nice and just 15-20 minute walk from the house. This is a great home for the value. I would definitely recommend it, but having a car is more ideal. The check in and check out is well posted and easy. The owner is super responsive and a pleasure to work with. This is a quiet little area, so if partying at the house is on your to do list, you might want to go elsewhere. I'd stay again! super affordable and adorable!
