Terrys place is located in a great spot, only a few blocks from the beach. Parking is horrible but not impossible, we were able to find parking a few blocks away (5-6) and walk to the place when we got back from exploring every night. The weather is so nice that the walk is actually pleasant, don’t let that deter you from parking far away. It’s just the nature of the location.
During our stay the building had issues with water so we didn’t have water for some period of time during two days. Not ideal when you want to shower or use the bathroom but not the fault of the hosts. They were very attentive and answered our questions and issues regarding the water problems promptly.
The cleaning fee ($150 at the time when we stayed) is just plain exaggerated. Half that price would still seem high for cleaning a place that small. To top it off, the place was super dusty. The bathroom window, the large screen door and the pots and utensils they supplied were all covered in dust. (Terry did mention the place was recently renovated, this must have been why)
Here are issues with this place that you should take into consideration when staying at this rental :
1. There is no bath curtain so the floor gets soaked and slippery as you try to step out of the shower.
2. The towels they provided didn’t smell clean - make sure you bring your own. The hosts make it clear that they will not supply linens.We brought a set and ended up buying an extra set to use.
3. There is no kitchen sink, make that an opportunity to eat out as there are many, many places to eat in the area.
Overall this is a decent place if you only use it to sleep at the end of your day and nothing else. Once we came to terms with that, we left early in the morning and arrived late at night. The location is great but it’s extremely loud at night as it faces one of the main roads.
I’m sure the hosts can rectify at least 75% of the issues we encountered which would make this a good place to stay.
