You really can’t beat the location of this place. As you walk up the stairs to the balcony of the upper unit the view literally takes your breath away. We stayed with our 3 year old (who slept on the air bed on the floor) and our 10 month old baby and it was so great being able to walk in from the beach and hose them down with the outside shower before going in. Made the whole experience stress-free.
The neighbourhood is great and you’re within walking distance of some of the most famous surf breaks in the world like Pipeline and Sunset. There is a cycle path along a huge stretch of the coast and the road has speed bumps all the way down so there are no big vehicles speeding around and walking and cycling are pretty safe. There are also some fantastic food trucks within walking distance - we recommend Panda’s Thai and the Sunrise Shack does great coffee and papaya bowls.
The unit is perfectly stocked with everything you’d need for a good stay. The WiFi is super fast and the kitchen is well-equipped.The shower is nice and big and the whole place is lovely and clean.
Our only worry was that the door didn’t lock properly. There is a safe so you can lock valuables in and the neighbourhood seems pretty chilled but would have been nice for peace of mind to be able to fully lock the doors.
Side note: The Ocean is LOUD. This is not a negative thing at all but don’t turn up expecting to fall asleep to the calming sound of waves lapping at the sand - haha! We stayed early Oct and the waves were crashing with great force and volume!
Communication could have been a little better - a phone number was offered which I was unable to try as we are from the UK and don’t have access to a phone - only email - so response was a bit slow.
