First off, I’ll say that Tom and the property manager, Justin, are great. Good communication, and when issues arose they got things fixed as quickly as possible.
Things a potential guest might like to know:
- Light leaks from the shutters and the front door, plus electronics all have bright lights. Bring a sleep mask if you need the room dark when you sleep. Also, a tip: put stickers over all the electronics so you can reduce this annoyance.
- Internet is spotty. If you’re planning to get online work done during your stay, make time for jiggling things and turning your WiFi off and on, or just go to a cafe.

- Noise from the street and next door. Not a big deal to me and listening to people play volleyball was actually pretty entertaining but if you’re sensitive you’ll want earplugs.
- Coffee maker is a little weird, and the grinder grinds regardless of whether or not there are beans in there. It’s also super loud.
- No A/C, but there’s a good ceiling fan. You’ll need to turn on the wall switch in order for remote to work.
- No instructions in house. Not a huge deal but just know that you might spend some time figuring stuff out.
All the good stuff:
- Great location!
- Fantastic view. Seriously. Proo tip: put a sheet down on window seat so you don’t stick to the vinyl.
- Lighting for nighttime is low and lovely.
- Great selection of beach play items: surfboard, boogie boards, chairs, umbrella, and I think I saw some kiddie stuff in the closet.
- Nice front desk folks.
- Secure parking - often saw security walking up there at night with a flashlight.
- Nice neighbors.
- Well decorated. The colors are soothing and the art has been thoughtfully chosen.
Overall a great home base for the month, and if you’re planning on isolating upon arrival, you really can’t beat the views!
