Brian was a great host. He was very friendly, responsive, and proactive. We were traveling with a 2 year old and she loved looking at all the passerbys on the deck. You get a great view of the sunsets from the living room and kitchen. There is a surf school/rental place next door, so you get great views of all the surfers on the beach. The place is in a great location close to beaches, restaurants, and downtown. The beds were a bit uncomfortable, but other than that, the place was great and I would definitely recommend!
