We are Airbnb hosts so we want to be fair and honest about this rental for other travelers.
Pros:
Check in was seamless as promised.
The mattress seemed new and comfortable and honestly it felt like the owners were trying to make it nice for their guests. Linens were a good quality. Blankets were cozy.
Upper deck is best outdoor space. Lower gravel entry area is not as inviting.
The biggest plus...Beach towels, chairs and new boogie boards for our use (a thoughtful touch)
Cons: Once we entered the building the smell of bleach was overwhelming. It actually made us feel sick and we had to sit outside.
Once the smell dissipated the place smelled mildewy and concerning. My wife is immunocompromised so that had an effect on our choice to leave after the first night.
The floor wasn't cleaned well because our bare feet were dirty in no time.
The layout was a bit odd with bedroom downstairs off the kitchen and living room upstairs. It just felt very cramped. Furniture & appliances were dated.
On line photos made it appear larger than the space really is.
Teeny tiny view of the ocean in the distance from the upper deck.
Not walking distance to the beach in my book, but convenient to town.
Please note the entry is on an alley that runs parallel to a busy street. We did not have any communication with the owners (much closer in vicinity than it appears on line) but contacted Vacasa about our stay and the fact that we decided to leave. They were responsive and nice enough to credit us back 25% of our stay which is better than nothing. Sad to leave this type of review but again we wanted to be upfront about our experience.
